Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a switching device for an installation electric, such as a switch or a fuse switch, comprising at least two phase conductors and a neutral conductor, this apparatus comprising, in a common box, at least two cut-off modules corresponding to the conductors phase of said installation, arranged adjacent to each other and each provided with two fixed contacts associated with two mobile contacts, these mobile contacts having two stable positions, i.e.
  • this device comprising, in the block of control, a fixed conductor called "neutral passing" and corresponding to the neutral conductor of said installation, the control unit comprising a member of cutting said "neutral passing", this breaking member comprising a contact mobile disposed between two fixed contacts on the path of said "neutral passing” and a mobile pusher arranged to control said mobile contact and having two positions stable, an engaged position in which the movable contact is closed and a tripped position in which the movable contact is open.
  • the present invention also relates to a multipole switch and a change-over switch obtained respectively by combining two devices cut according to the invention.
  • the invention relates to switching devices such as switches, fused switches and change-over switches for the distribution of electrical energy, in particular three-phase with neutral.
  • switching devices such as switches, fused switches and change-over switches for the distribution of electrical energy, in particular three-phase with neutral.
  • the neutral conductor is not cut when the switchgear is placed in the tripped position.
  • the switching device manufacturers replace, in the switching module corresponding to the neutral conductor, fixed and movable contacts by one piece removable conductor forming a jumper which connects the input terminal directly to the output terminal of said module. If the neutral conductor must be cut for reasons maintenance, modification of downstream equipment, etc., then bridging mobile can be removed by a suitable tool.
  • the devices connected downstream between a phase conductor and the neutral conductor are supplied with + or - 380 volts depending on their impedance being given that there is a return voltage through the neutral conductor.
  • the "neutral passing" is placed directly on top of the housing of the block command, it is not protected against possible contact, which represents also a danger for the personnel working on the installation.
  • German publication DE 43 12 594 A describes a device for interlocking and tripping of neutral in a switch, thanks to a coupling of the bars of neutral and phase conductors.

  • the device control unit of known breaking is not suitable for transmitting the force of the handle maneuver to the movable contacts of the phase conductors and obtain a satisfactory synchronous operation. Therefore, the switching device corresponding is designed with a specially adapted reinforced mechanism, which obliges manufacturers to design, manufacture and manage a product and therefore a reference specific.
  • control blocks of the two associated and inverted devices are generally connected by one or more rods of link to transmit the force of the handle from one of the blocks in the opposite direction to the other block.
  • This linkage linkage generates an additional cost, a significant bulk and sometimes a cause of mechanical play which influences the speed and synchronism of switching.
