Definitions
- the present invention relates to apparatus for head protection, that is, to devices by which are powered by other devices, called dependent devices, for example devices line protection divisions such as, for example, circuit breakers. More precisely, the invention relates to head devices such as switches and differential switches. See for example CH-A-672859.
- these devices are oriented, it is say that their boxes have, in addition to the front faces and rear above, a so-called upper face and a so-called face lower, these faces having the input terminals, output, phase and neutral circuits respectively crossing the device.
- the output phase is intended to allow connection to dependent or divisional devices through rigid conductors, for example combs or bars omnibus
- Terminals input are intended to be connected to cables of important section which assure the feeding since the general protection device, circuit breaker connection or fuse, connected to the public network, and, most generally, the phase and neutral terminals of the face entrance are arranged on the same level i.e. without shift.
- the present invention proposes to remedy the disadvantages of the prior art and providing apparatus overhead such as switches or switches differentials, or the like, which can be used interchangeably as well in countries with neutral conductor on the right than in conductor countries neutral on the left and this that the entry face is constituted by the upper face or on the contrary by the face lower.
- the subject of the invention is a protective device bipolar, such as in particular switch or switch differential, intended to be powered by conductors phase and neutral and to supply one or more devices dependent, for example divisional circuit breakers, said apparatus comprising, in a housing having a front or top, a back or base for the fixing on a support, and two entry faces, respectively output, two circuits for the phase, respectively the neutral, having characteristics substantially similar electrical, with, for each circuit, two connection terminals arranged respectively to the inlet and outlet faces of the housing, the terminals of the circuits, which appear on the same face, being shifted forward one the other backward, to allow bridging by rigid conductors, with the respective terminals of the same polarity of said devices dependent, characterized in that, to be able to be compatible with dependent devices as well with neutral on the right than with neutral on the left, the terminals of a same circuit, arranged, one, in the input side, and the other in the output side, are also offset in the forward / backward direction relative to each other, so that
- the bounds shifted towards the rear have a fixed cage, the clamping screw, can be operated from the front, supporting the driver inserted in the bar between the connection area, by through a cable protection clamp, then that the terminals offset backwards have a cage mobile actuated by a clamping screw, always accessible from the front, said movable cage supporting the conductor against the connection area.
- the devices according to the invention may have a marking distinguishing the phase circuit and the neutral and this marking can advantageously be a marking for application on the housing, for example by inkjet or by label, so that the manufacturer can when manufacturing, mark it neutral on the right or neutral on the left depending on the geographic destination of the device, or even mark it from already stored devices, at the time of the dispatch of an order.
- a switch like this comprises, in a housing 1, two circuits crossing the device, one of phase, the other of neutral, with, in each circuit, a fixed contact and a movable contact, a trigger lock mechanism for opening and manual closing using a joystick 2, and a differential detection error likely to control a trip relay, allowing the tripping and abrupt opening of the two contacts detection of a differential fault.
- a switch like this comprises, in a housing 1, two circuits crossing the device, one of phase, the other of neutral, with, in each circuit, a fixed contact and a movable contact, a trigger lock mechanism for opening and manual closing using a joystick 2, and a differential detection error likely to control a trip relay, allowing the tripping and abrupt opening of the two contacts detection of a differential fault.
- the housing 1 of the device has a shape general quite classic.
- the box presents in outside the lateral faces 3, an anterior face 4 presenting the lever 2, a lower face 5 provided with means not shown in detail to allow hanging on a standardized rail, a lower face 6 and an upper face 7.
- the lower faces and upper 6, 7 have a length less than the total height of the appliance due to the presence shoulders 8 located at a standardized level and whose front faces reveal passages 9 allowing access to the terminal clamping screws.
- each circuit there are two electrical circuits with, in each circuit, a contact fixed and a movable contact, as mentioned above.
- One of the circuits when viewed from the front 4, is on the left and the other on the right.
- the electrical characteristics of both circuits are almost, or even totally, identical.
- each of the two circuits consists of the same way.
- Each of the circuits leads, by one of its two connection terminals, on the one hand in the face lower 6, on the other hand in the upper face 7.
- FIG. 6 there is shown an assembly of device 1 conforming to installation habits in France.
- the device 1 is arranged vertically, its face 4 facing forward, next to a number of divisional circuit breakers 14 located to the right of the device.
- the neutral circuit is the left circuit, at know the circuit including terminals 10 and 11.
- the terminal 10 which receives the neutral supply conductor is located forward while terminal 11 is shifted towards the back. In doing so, she can receive a comb of neutral 15 which will supply the different neutral terminals of the circuit breakers 14 located at the rear on the input side top of circuit breakers 14.
- terminal 13 located on the exit face 7 is shifted forward and can thus supplied by a second comb 16 parallel to the first, the phase input terminals of the circuit breakers 14.
- FIG. 7 the case of mounting as usual in another country such as which the entry face is on the contrary the upper face 7, the neutral conductor being located on the right and therefore connected to terminal 13 while the conductor phase power supply is connected to terminal 11.
- the devices dependents 14 are always located on the right and are connected by a neutral comb 17 inserted in terminal 12 and located forward, and a phase comb 18 connected to terminal 13 and located towards the rear.
- terminals 11 and 13 There is shown in broken line traces of combs 15 and 16.
- the terminal 11, which is the rearmost terminal, is of the type direct clamping.
- screw 9 is screwed into a fixed cage 19 and can move a protective flange from wire 20 until it comes to clamp the conductor represented by a circular line down against the cage which forms connection range.
- the tightening of the screw ends up tighten the comb tooth represented by a rectangle on the drawing.
- terminal 13 is of the movable cage type 21.
- the screwing of the screw drives the cage 21 upwards until it comes to tighten, against the range of terminal connection, conductor or comb tooth in the position corresponding to trace 16. It is thus possible to use very large terminals for devices with high nominal power, which would not be not possible if the two terminals were direct clamping in because of the space required by the shoulder 8 which reduces the length available on the input and output faces 6, 7.
- the apparatus presents, preferably a marking indicating to the installer the phase terminals and neutral terminals.
- This indication no represented, can be done either by affixing of labels, either by any application of a marking, by inkjet example, either on the left or on the right, depending on the geographic destination of the device.
