Each guide element 24 delimits on one of the faces 18 a rectangular passage 25, narrow, ending in a space circular 26.
  • Figure 8 shows a rotation lug 22 in two different positions relative to the corresponding guide element 24.
  • the lug, 22a In a first position the lug, 22a, is ready to be introduced into the guide element. Its orientation is such that it can be introduced into the rectangular passage 25 whose width 11 is slightly greater than the width 12 of the section of the end of the lug and less than the length L of this section.
  • the circular space 26 has a diameter slightly greater than the length L.
  • the auxiliary part 16 comprises a projecting part 27, provided on its underside with a rib 28 in which can slide the associated lateral flange of the moving part 13.
  • the part 27 limits the rotation of the part 13, so that the rotation lugs 22 cannot escape from the circular spaces 26 of the corresponding guide elements 24.
  • the trigger preferably comprises a single auxiliary part 16, although the mounting could possibly be symmetrical.
  • the part mobile 13 may comprise, on the flange 23 opposite to that which cooperates with the part auxiliary 16, a retaining lug 29 ( Figures 4 and 5) capable of cooperating with a rib 30 of the internal face of the associated wall of the housing ( Figure 3).
  • the retaining lug 29 thus keeps the moving part 13 inside the housing 1, even in the absence of the auxiliary part 16, for example before the assembly thereof.
  • the torsion spring 15 has a central part and two ends. A first end, free, is intended to bear on a groove 31 disposed in the bottom of the housing 1 (Figure 3).
  • the central part of the torsion spring is mounted on a lug 32, arranged in the extension of one of the rotation pins 22, that is to say projecting towards the interior with respect to the corresponding lateral flange 23 of the movable part 13. (figures 4 and 5).
  • the torsion spring is prepositioned on the moving part by elements of appropriate restraint.

  • a screw 39 (figure 12) which is screwed in a complementary threaded orifice 40 formed in the front face of the release (fig. 1).
  • the opinion 39 is preferably of the captive type, integral with the removable module 3 in translation along the axis of the screw. In this way, the unscrewing of the screw, through an orifice 41 formed in the outer face of the removable module 3, automatically causes the lifting of the removable module 3 with respect to the front face 2 of the release, its unlocking and, in Consequently, moving into the disconnected position of the moving part 13.
  • the external face of the removable module comprises, in a conventional manner, orifices 42 for the passage of switches or adjustment potentiometers. These holes 42 are aligned with orifices 43 on the front face of the trigger. Switches or potentiometers adjustment, part of the processing circuit, are carried by the printed circuit 5. The elasticity of the tabs 19 also allows complete extraction of the removable module 3, despite the retaining hooks 37.

  • the cover 45 has orifices 46 for the passage of contacts 66.
  • the cover 45 carries a light guide 47.
  • LED 49 alarm light-emitting diode
  • the alarm diode 49 lights up, for example, when the long delay trip threshold is reached.
  • the corresponding light information is transmitted directly by the light guide 47 to a corresponding orifice 48 formed on the external face of the removable module (fig. 11), thus constituting an indicator light.
  • Figure 2 shows schematically the electrical connections between the printed circuit 5 and the circuit printed 43 of the removable module 3.
  • the printed circuit 43 is connected to five terminals 7 of the processing circuit 4, by contacts 6.
  • a first terminal 7 is connected to a point common to four conductors formed on the printed circuit and respectively connected to the other four terminals 7.
  • Each of the conductors can be interrupted, the number and arrangement of integral conductors corresponding to a 4-bit coding of the value of the long parameter delay associated with the chosen module.
  • the part 13 can be replaced by a part 13a movable in translation in the housing ( Figure 17).
  • the auxiliary part is then constituted by a part 16a, secured to the moving part 13a.
  • the elastic means intended to push the removable module 13a into the position of disconnection are constituted by a spring 50, guided in appropriate elements of the case, and bearing on the one hand on the bottom of the case 1 and, on the other hand, on a flange of the auxiliary part 16a.
  • unlocking the removable module 3 is accompanied by disconnection automatic processing circuit voltage inputs. Connection interruption in voltage, in particular for carrying out dielectric tests, is carried out simply, by unlocking the removable module 3, without risk of the user accessing the live conductors (220 V) from the front panel, unlike what was happening in known devices.
  • the assembly according to the invention thus advantageously groups together two functions, namely the calibration of the long delay and the disconnection of the measurement of voltage.
  • the printed circuit 5 consists of 3 parts and, in the disconnected position, the mains voltage is only present at the input connector 10, on the contact points 8 and in the conductors of the printed circuit board 5c making the connection between the connector 10 and the points of contacts 8. All of these locations are distant from the front face 2 of the circuit breaker and, from more, their access is protected by the presence of the front panel and, if this is removed, by the fact that the connecting conductors between the connector 10 and the contact points 8 are, preferably formed on the face of the printed circuit board 5c disposed inwards, between the printed circuit boards 5a and 5b.
  • an additional printed circuit board can be disposed between the front face 2 and the printed circuit board 5a. This limits all the more the risk of access to live parts.
  • the contact points 7, the diode 49, the potentiometers or adjustment switches, are located on the additional printed circuit board, or a suitable passage is provided therein.
