Definitions
- the invention relates to a circuit breaker, in particular a low-voltage circuit breaker, with a multi-part Insulated housing, a switch lock, loop-shaped Connection rails with fixed contacts, which movable contact bridges face each other and with them can be brought into contact and released and arc guiding and quenching plates having arc quenching chambers for each switching pole.
- Low voltage circuit breakers are usually switches with current heat releases as well as with quick releases, who work on a key switch and serve primarily that Overload and short circuit protection. Own as a lock switch they shutdown properties. In addition, they can be operate manually using an ON / OFF control element and switch remotely if necessary.
- Said switches are used in large numbers as motor protection switches, by limiting their tripping characteristic to the Operating conditions of an engine to be protected is adapted in an electrical system. Protection relates both on the permissible long-term heating of a Motors as well as its protection against short circuit.
- circuit breakers are found as so-called Circuit breaker application. Protect as such an electrical system against impermissible operating conditions. You can use currents under operating conditions in the Switch on, lead and switch off circuit. Furthermore they must also be under specified exceptional conditions - like short circuit - switch on during a be able to carry electricity and switch off for a specified time.
- the invention has for its object a solution find, after which a motor protection switch structurally identical can be used as a circuit breaker for a system can, the constructive - and material costs close to the effort of a conventional motor protection switch to orient.
- the automatic switch in the manner of a conventional motor protection switch consists essentially of an upper part 1 with a switch lock, not shown, which can be switched on via a switch 2 and by means of a switch, not shown, and are triggered by electricity and magnetic triggers can.
- the on and off movements are on a switching crossbar 3 transmit the spring-loaded movable Contact bridges 4 accommodates.
- the switch crossbar 3 is made of a thermoset material, the one Melting of the contact bridges 4 prevented and temperature resistance up to 220 ° C.
- the contact pressure springs 6 ensure sufficient contact pressure.
- the fixed contacts 5 sit on contact carriers 7, which are in a wide loop are led to the outer connections 8.
- the loop guide enables in connection with the movable Contact bridges 4 at the electrodynamic contact separation short-circuit-like currents.
- the switching arc runs into the quenching chamber insert 11 one, divides itself into sections, runs through the whole Chamber, is cooled and ultimately safely extinguished.
- the contact stroke of the movable contacts 5 is at least as large as the height of the quench chamber insert 11, with what it is ensured that really all the quenching plates and that Baffle plate 10 used for arcing and quenching become.
- the arc plasma creates in the closed Switch lower part 13 a sudden excess pressure, the is degraded in a controlled manner by means of the outlet slots 14. If the arc is strong, the arc plasma could after leaving the outlet slots 14, the individual Bridge current phases due to ionization of the outside air and cause dangerous short circuits, which is why the outlet slots 14 additionally formed like a labyrinth are.
- their stiffness is higher than that of elastic Base plate 12 to the pressing force of the base plate 12 transfer to the fixed contact carrier 7 without loss.
