Definitions

  • the invention relates to a multipole circuit breaker for protecting a multiphase electrical network with a neutral, provided with an electronic release and at least one measuring aid associated with each pole and electrically connected to the release.
  • the invention more particularly relates to a connection assembly, connecting said measurement auxiliaries to the trigger.
  • the line associated with the neutral may be arranged to the right or left of the lines associated with the phases.
  • the pole associated with the neutral can also be disposed to the left or right of the poles of the circuit breaker associated with the phases.
  • the trigger comprises inputs associated respectively to each of the phases and specific inputs dedicated to the neutral, for the connection of the trigger with auxiliary measurement of the electrical parameters - voltage and current intensity - of the various poles.
  • the electrical connection between the measuring auxiliaries, which are usually located inside the circuit breaker box, and the associated inputs of the trip unit must take these variants into account.
  • connection assembly comprising a fixed socket provided with two neutral terminals, disposed on either side of a number p of phase terminals, and a mobile socket having a number p + 1 of terminals.
  • a connection assembly comprising a fixed socket provided with two neutral terminals, disposed on either side of a number p of phase terminals, and a mobile socket having a number p + 1 of terminals.
  • simply plug the mobile socket on the left or right side of the fixed socket simply plug the mobile socket on the left or right side of the fixed socket.
  • such a provision implies the existence of two neutral terminals, resulting in a bulk and a non-optimized price.
  • the invention aims to reduce the cost and bulk of a connection of this type.
  • connection assembly for a multipole circuit breaker protection of a polyphase electrical network with neutral having a number p + 1 poles, an electronic trigger, and at least one measuring aid associated with each pole and electrically connected to the release
  • the connection assembly comprising a fixed electrical outlet having a number p of phase connectors and a neutral connector, for being respectively connected to the phase and neutral inputs of the trigger
  • the assembly comprising in addition, a movable electrical plug, pluggable into the fixed socket, comprising a number p + 1 of connectors each intended to be connected to one of the electrical measurement auxiliaries, the movable plug having a configuration such that it can be plugged into the fixed socket in a first angular position, and in a second angular position obtained by rotation of an angle 2 ⁇ k ⁇ / p + 1 relative to the first, where k is a predefined integer less than or equal to p.
  • the differentiation between circuit breakers having the neutral pole right or left can be done very late, at the distributor rather than the production center.
  • the sockets used have the same number of connectors as the standard sockets. It follows that they are optimized both from the point of view of the size and the point of view of the cost.
  • the invention takes all its interest when the number p is greater than or equal to 3. In practice, the number p is equal to 3.
  • the number k is equal to 1.
  • other configurations are possible and may allow a better differentiation between the two useful positions, especially when the number p is large.
  • the assembly is provided with coding means prohibiting the plugging of the mobile plug into the fixed socket in a position other than the first and second angular positions. This avoids positioning errors.
  • each connector requires only one terminal.
  • the measuring aid is then reduced to a simple electrical connection bypass between the line and the corresponding connector of the mobile socket.
  • each connector advantageously comprises two terminals.
  • the auxiliaries can then be, conventionally, current transformers arranged in the circuit breaker housing.
  • the invention also relates to a multipole circuit breaker for protecting a polyphase electrical network with a neutral, comprising a number p + 1 of poles, an electronic trip device, at least one measurement aid associated with each pole, and at least one set connection as previously described, connecting said measurement auxiliaries to the trigger.
  • a three-phase electrical network (L 1 , L 2 , L 3 , L 4 ) with a neutral is protected by a circuit breaker 1.
  • the circuit breaker conventionally comprises a number p of poles associated with the p phases of the network and a pole associated with the neutral, c in the case of a three-phase network with neutral, four poles constituting a set of contacts 2 controlled by an electronic release 4, via a control relay 6.
  • the circuit breaker comprises current transformers A 1 , A 2 , A 3 and A 4 , for providing the trigger 4 a current measurement respectively in the lines L 1 , L 2 , L 3 and L 4 of the network. It further comprises electrical branching connections B 1 , B 2 , B 3 , B 4 for transmitting to the trigger the voltages of lines L 1 , L 2 , L 3 and L 4 .
  • the pole associated with the neutral may be disposed to the left or right of the poles of the circuit breaker associated with the phases.
  • the line L 1 corresponds to the neutral and the lines L 2 to L 4 to the phases X, Y and Z.
  • the neutral is on the line L 4 and the phases X, Y and Z on lines L 1 to L 3 .
  • the trip unit comprises phase inputs E X , E Y , E Z and neutral E N respectively associated with each of the phases and with the neutral for measuring currents. Likewise, it comprises phase inputs V X , V Y , V Z and neutral V N associated with each of the phases and with the neutral for the measurement of the voltages.
  • the connection between the current transformers A 1 to A 4 , arranged in the corresponding poles of the circuit breaker on the one hand, and the associated inputs of the trigger, on the other hand, must take these variants into account. Similarly, the connection between the voltage branches B 1 to B 4 and the trigger must be adapted.
  • the invention relates alternately or cumulatively to a connection assembly between the current transformers A 1 to A 4 and the trip device and the voltage connection assembly between the branches B 1 , B 2 , B 3 , B 4 and the trip unit.
  • the voltage connection assembly comprises a mobile plug C and a fixed plug D.
  • the movable receptacle comprises four single-pin connectors C 1 , C 2 , C 3 and C 4 corresponding respectively to the lines L 1 , L 2 , L 3 and L 4 , each arranged in an angular sector of 90 ° defined by relative to a pivot axis 8 of the socket.
  • the fixed plug D comprises in turn four pin connectors D X , D Y , D Z connected to the phase inputs V X , V Y , and V Z , and a neutral connector D N connected to the neutral input V N.
  • the two connectors D X and D Z have a foolproof outline 12, 11 while the other two connectors have a square outline 9, 10.
  • the connectors C 1 and C 2 of the mobile socket have a contour of additional coding 16, 13 of that of the connector D X.
  • the connector C 3 and the connector C 4 of the mobile socket comprise a complementary contour 14, 15 of that of the connector D Z.
  • the keying shapes present on the connectors D Z and D X can only cooperate with their respective complementary coding shape, so that it is not possible to plug the connectors C 3 or C 4 into the connector D X and it is not possible to plug the connectors C 1 or C 2 into the connector D Z.
  • the lines L 1 to L 4 are wired on the connectors C 1 to C 4 of the mobile socket. If the line L 1 is the neutral, then the mobile socket is plugged into the fixed socket in the position corresponding to the plugging of the connector C 1 of the mobile socket in the connector D N of the fixed socket. If on the other hand the neutral is on the line L 4 , then the movable plug is plugged into its other possible angular position, corresponding to the plugging of the connector C 4 in the neutral connector D N.
  • connection assembly according to the same principle is described for the connection of the current transformers A 1 , A 2 , A 3 and A 4 to the trip unit 4.
  • This embodiment differs mainly from the previous one on the one hand by the number of terminals each connector, and secondly by the keying device. To make the connection of each current transformer, two terminals are indeed necessary. As a result, each connector D ' X , D' Y , D ' Z , D' N of the fixed socket of the figure 7 has two terminals 16. Similarly, each connector C ' 1 , C' 2 , C ' 3 , C' 4 of the mobile socket of the figure 6 has two terminals 18.
  • the keying of the plug is made not at the connectors, but on the external side edges of the mobile and fixed jacks.
  • the fixed plug D ' has a protruding flange, which comprises a keying flange 20.
  • the movable plug comprises two complementary keying angles 22, 24 allowing plugging in two positions and only two, relative to the fixed socket.
  • the keying may comprise both forms of keying on the connectors and on the outer periphery of the socket.
  • the invention is also applicable in multiphase networks having more than four lines (p> 3).
  • the two connectors C 1 and C 4 corresponding to lines L 1 and L 4 may be dedicated to neutral, are not necessarily adjacent. It is indeed perfectly possible to distribute them in opposition on either side of the axis 8 so that one goes from the first to the second authorized connection position by pivoting 180 °. It is also possible to use the voltage circuit connection assembly described above with the connection set of the current measuring circuit described in the document. FR-A-2,739,973 .
