Die üblicherweise bekannten thermischen Überstromrelais besitzen eine der Anzahl der abzusichernden Phasen entsprechend der Anzahl von Thermobimetallen, die über einen Schieber auf einen Schaltmechanismus einwirken, damit im Falle eines Überstroms die Zuleitungen z. B. zu einem Motor abgeschaltet werden.The commonly known thermal overload relay have one of the number phases to be protected corresponding to the number of thermostatic bimetals, over a slide on a switching mechanism act, so in the case of Overcurrent the supply lines z. B. shut down to a motor.

Neuerdings arbeiten derartige Überlastrelais auf elektronischer Basis. Man leitet den Strom zum Motor durch Stromsensoren, die den Überstrom detektieren; über eine geeignete Auswerteschaltung werden Schaltkontakte angesteuert, mit denen beispielsweise ein Schütz angesteuert wird, um die Phasenleiter abzuschalten.Recently, such overload relays operate on an electronic basis. Man leads the Current to the motor through current sensors detecting the overcurrent; over a suitable evaluation circuit are controlled switching contacts with which For example, a contactor is driven to turn off the phase conductors.

Aus der US 4,884,048 ist ein elektrisches Schaltgerät bekannt geworden, welches pro Phase ein Elektromagnetsystem aufweist, das einen Kern, zwei Spulen, die jeweils von einem Steg des Kerns durchgriffen werden, sowie eine als Leiterstreifen ausgebildete Primärwicklung aufweisen. Die Elektromagnetsysteme für jede Phase werden jeweils in einen langgestreckten Raum im Gehäuse des Schaltgerätes eingesetzt. Insgesamt sind zwei Primärwicklungen auf jeweils einem Spulenkörper aufgewickelt, so dass zwei übereinander gesetzte Spulenkörper vorgesehen sind.From US 4,884,048 an electrical switching device has become known which pro Phase has a solenoid system, which has a core, two coils, each of a web of the core are penetrated, as well as trained as a conductor strip Have primary winding.

The object of the invention is an electronic overload relay of the aforementioned To create a kind that can be easily manufactured and assembled.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch die Merkmale des Anspruches 1 gelöst.This object is achieved by the features of claim 1 .

Danach durchgreift ein Schenkel des Kerns einen die Primärwicklung und die Sekundärwicklung tragenden Spulenkörper, wobei am Spulenkörper ein erstes Raumabteil für die Sekundärwicklung zwischen zwei Wandungen und ein zweites Raumabteil zwischen zwei weiteren Wandungen für die Primärwicklung angeformt ist, wodurch ein Wandler gebildet wird.Thereafter, a leg of the core passes through a primary winding and the Secondary winding coil body, wherein the bobbin a first Room compartment for the secondary winding between two walls and a second Compartment is formed between two further walls for the primary winding, whereby a transducer is formed.

Weiterhin sind Anschlusslaschen vorgesehen, die zwei in gleiche Richtung vorspringende parallele Fahnen aufweisen, von denen eine zur mechanischen Fixierung in eine Aufnahmetasche am Spulenkörper dient und die andere im zweiten Raumabteil mit der Primärwicklung elektrisch leitend verbunden ist.Furthermore, connecting straps are provided, the two in the same direction have projecting parallel flags, one of which for mechanical Fixation in a receiving pocket on the bobbin serves and the other in the second Room compartment is electrically connected to the primary winding.

Dabei können die Raumabteile nebeneinander angeordnet und durch nur eine Wandung voneinander getrennt sein. Die Wandungen sind dabei Spulenkörperflansche.The room compartments can be arranged side by side and by only one Wall be separated from each other. The walls are bobbin flanges.

Zwar ist aus der US 4, 427,962 A1 ein Spulenkörper bekannt geworden, der sowohl die Primär- als auch die Sekundärwicklung trägt, die beide mittels eines umlaufenden Flansches voneinander getrennt sind. Da aber der Kern diesen Spulenkörper von außen umgibt, kann er nicht bei einem Überstromrelais angewendet werden.Although it is known from US 4,427,962 A1 a bobbin, both the Carries both primary and secondary winding, both by means of a circumferential Flange are separated. But since the core of this bobbin of outside, it can not be applied to an overcurrent relay.
