Abstract

The circuit breaker has a phase conductor terminal and a neutral conductor terminal, the terminals lying diagonally, one above the other. Switching components are arranged in a first module (1), and the terminals on a second module (2). The first module comprises terminals for two or more different variants of the second module (2).

Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf einen Leitungsschutzschalter in Schmalbauweise, an dessen Schmalseiten jeweils außer einer Klemme für den Außenleiter, früher Phasenleiter genannt, auch eine Klemme für einen Neutralleiter ausgebildet ist. Die Klemmen sind jeweils schräg übereinander angeordnet, bezogen auf eine Aufsicht auf die Schmalseite. Bezogen auf die übliche Einbaulage in einer Verteilung, wobei die Basis des Leitungsschutzschalters auf Tragschienen parallel zu einer Einbauwand angeordnet ist, wird eine Steigleitung von unten angeschlossen und die Verzweigungsleitung zu Verbrauchern wird oben angeschlossen. Nach französischem Brauch ist die untere Klemmenanordnung derart, dass der Außenleiter rechts oben und der Neutralleiter schräg links unten angeordnet ist. In übrigen europäischen Ländern ist die Klemme für den Außenleiter links oben und die Klemme für den Neutralleiter schräg rechts unten angeordnet.The invention relates to a miniature circuit breaker in narrow construction, at the narrow sides in each case except a terminal for the outer conductor, formerly called phase conductor, a terminal for a neutral conductor is formed. The clamps are each arranged obliquely one above the other, based on a view of the narrow side. Relative to the usual installation position in a distribution, wherein the base of the circuit breaker is arranged on mounting rails parallel to a mounting wall, a riser is connected from below and the branch line to consumers is connected at the top. According to French custom, the lower terminal assembly is such that the outer conductor is located on the top right and the neutral conductor is located obliquely on the lower left. In other European countries, the terminal for the outer conductor is located at the top left and the terminal for the neutral conductor at an angle at the bottom right.

Die Anordnung der Klemmen variiert nach den jeweiligen Absatzmärkten, so dass spezielle Geräteausführungen erforderlich sind. Dies war insbesondere dann nötig, wenn der Leitungsschutzschalter in der Breite einer so genannten Teilungseinheit auszuführen ist.The arrangement of the terminals varies according to the respective markets, so that special device versions are required. This was particularly necessary if the circuit breaker is to be designed in the width of a so-called graduation unit.

Aus der EP 0 570 647 A1 ist ein Überlastschalter bekannt, der einen Basiskörper mit Schalterkomponenten aufweist und Klemmen für Leiter zur Verfügung stellt. Ein Kräftehaushalt wird mittels unterschiedlichen Abstützpunkten eines elastischen Elementes erreicht, welches den beweglichen Kontakt in einer Winkelstellung hält.From EP 0 570 647 A1 a circuit breaker is known which has a base body with switch components and provides terminals for conductors. A power budget is achieved by means of different support points of an elastic element which holds the movable contact in an angular position.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Leitungsschutzschalter in Schmalbauweise zu entwickeln, der in Fertigung und Lagerhaltung das Anpassen an die Gewohnheit eines Verbrauchermarktes hinsichtlich der Klemmenanordnung vereinfacht.The invention has for its object to develop a circuit breaker in a narrow design, the custom in manufacturing and storage to the habit of Consumer market with regard to the terminal arrangement simplified.

Die Lösung der geschilderten Aufgabe erfolgt nach der Erfindung durch einen Leitungsschutzschalter nach Anspruch 1. Hiernach sind die Schalterkomponenten in einer ersten Baugruppe angeordnet und die Klemmen jeweils an einer Schmalseite jeweils in einer zweiten Baugruppe. Die erste Baugruppe weist alle Anschlüsse für zwei oder mehr Varianten der zweiten Baugruppe auf. Die zweite Baugruppe wird je nach Bedarf ausgewählt. Die Vorhaltung für spezielle Märkte wird dadurch wesentlich einfacher und kostengünstiger.The solution of the described object is achieved according to the invention by a circuit breaker according to claim 1. Hereafter, the switch components are arranged in a first assembly and the terminals each on a narrow side each in a second assembly. The first assembly has all the connections for two or more variants of the second assembly. The second assembly is selected as needed. The provision for special markets is thus much easier and cheaper.

Die zweite Baugruppe kann für die Mehrzahl der Märkte in zwei Varianten ausgeführt werden, wobei die Klemmen in einer schrägen Anordnung von links oben nach rechts unten oder von rechts oben nach links unten vorgesehen sind. Üblicherweise sind die Klemmen für den Außenleiter dabei oben und die Klemmen für den Neutralleiter unten angeordnet. Für einen Verbrauchermarkt, der bezogen auf die Einbaulage des Leitungsschutzschalters in einer Verteilung an seiner unteren Schmalseite die Klemmen von links oben nach rechts unten bevorzugt, ist für die obere Schmalseite bei üblicher Ausführung eine zweite Baugruppe mit der Klemmenanordnung von rechts oben nach links unten vorzusehen. Wenn die Stromführung also durch den Leitungsschutzschalter, bezogen auf die Außenansicht, geradlinig durchgeht, kommt man mit lediglich zwei Ausführungen für die zweite Baugruppe aus, wobei je nach den wichtigsten Verbrauchermärkten einmal an der unteren Schmalseite des Leitungsschutzschalters die Klemmenanordnung links oben und rechts unten vorzusehen ist und an der oberen Schmalseite die zweite Ausführung der zweiten Baugruppe, wo die Klemmen rechts oben und links unten angeordnet sind. Für andere Verbrauchermärkte sind lediglich die zweiten Baugruppen ausgewechselt anzuordnen.The second assembly can be made in two variants for the majority of markets, with the clamps provided in an oblique arrangement from upper left to lower right or from upper right to lower left. Usually, the terminals for the outer conductor while the top and the terminals are arranged for the neutral below. For a consumer market, based on the installation position of the circuit breaker in a distribution on its lower narrow side, the terminals from top left to bottom right preferred, is provided for the upper narrow side in conventional design, a second assembly with the terminal assembly from top right to bottom left. So if the current through the circuit breaker, based on the outside, goes straight through, one comes with only two versions for the second assembly, depending on the major consumer markets once on the lower narrow side of the circuit breaker, the terminal assembly is provided top left and bottom right and on the upper narrow side, the second embodiment of the second module, where the terminals are arranged on the top right and bottom left. For other hypermarkets, only the second assemblies have to be replaced.

Es ist vorteilhaft, wenn die erste Baugruppe in der jeweiligen Höhe der Klemmenanordnung einen u-förmigen Verbindungskörper aufweist, der mittels einer seiner Enden mit einem Klemmkörper in der zweiten Baugruppe elektrischen Kontakt gebend zusammenpasst. Die erste Baugruppe kann dadurch an jeder Schmalseite mit der dafür vorgesehenen zweiten Baugruppe kontaktgebend zusammenarbeiten, wenn im Bedarfsfall eines der Enden des u-förmigen Verbindungskörpers weggebogen oder abgeschnitten wird.It is advantageous if the first assembly in the respective height of the terminal assembly has a U-shaped connecting body, which mates by means of one of its ends with a clamping body in the second assembly making electrical contact. As a result, the first subassembly can cooperate in a contact-making manner with the second subassembly provided on each narrow side, if required Ends of the U-shaped connecting body is bent away or cut off.

Die erste Baugruppe und die zweite Baugruppe können jeweils in einem eigenen Gehäuse untergebracht sein. Die zweiten Baugruppen und die erste Baugruppe können auch in einem gemeinsamen Gehäuse untergebracht sein.The first module and the second module can each be housed in a separate housing. The second modules and the first module can also be accommodated in a common housing.

Die geschilderte erfindungsgemäße Ausführung ist besonders dann vorteilhaft, wenn die Baugruppen auf ein Gehäuse mit einer Breite in einer sogenannten Teilungseinheit abzustimmen sind.The described embodiment of the invention is particularly advantageous if the modules are to be matched to a housing with a width in a so-called graduation unit.

Die Erfindung soll nun anhand von in der Zeichnung grob schematisch wiedergegebenen Ausführungsbeispielen näher erläutert werden:

  • In FIG 1 ist eine Explosionsdarstellung eines Zusammenbaus aus einer ersten Baugruppe und einer zweiten, in einer ersten Variante, wiedergegeben.
  • In FIG 2 ist perspektivisch eine zweite Baugruppe nach einer zweiten Variante der Klemmenanordnung dargestellt.
The invention will now be explained in more detail with reference to exemplary embodiments which are shown roughly schematically in the drawing:
  • 1 shows an exploded view of an assembly of a first assembly and a second, in a first variant, reproduced.
  • In Figure 2, a second assembly according to a second variant of the terminal arrangement is shown in perspective.

In FIG 1 ist nach Art einer Explosionsdarstellung eine erste Baugruppe 1 und eine zweite Baugruppe in einer ersten Ausführung vorgesehen, die bezogen auf die Einbaulage der ersten Baugruppe am Leitungsschutzschalter mit der Baugruppe 1 unten vorgesehen ist. Die zweite Baugruppe 2 weist eine Klemme für den Außenleiter L links oben und eine Klemme für den Neutralleiter N schräg rechts unten angeordnet auf. Bei der ersten Baugruppe 1 ist in der jeweiligen Höhe der Klemmenanordnung ein u-förmiger Verbindungskörper 3 angeordnet, der mittels einer seiner Enden 4,5 mit einem Klemmkörper in der zweiten Baugruppe 2 elektrisch Kontakt gebend zusammenpasst. Im Bedarfsfall oder aus Sicherheitsgründen kann am Verbindungskörper 3 das nicht benötigte Ende, hier das Ende 5, weggebogen oder abgeschnitten werden. Beim Verbindungskörper 3 für den Neutralleiter N kann man hierauf verzichten, wenn ausreichend Platz vorhanden ist.In Figure 1, a first assembly 1 and a second assembly is provided in a first embodiment in the manner of an exploded view, which is provided based on the installation position of the first module on the circuit breaker with the module 1 below. The second module 2 has a terminal for the outer conductor L top left and a terminal for the neutral conductor N obliquely arranged at the bottom right. In the first assembly 1, a U-shaped connecting body 3 is arranged in the respective height of the terminal arrangement, which mates by means of one of its ends 4.5 with a clamping body in the second module 2 making electrical contact. If necessary or for safety reasons, the unneeded end, here the end 5, can be bent away on the connecting body 3 or be cut off. When connecting body 3 for the neutral conductor N you can do without this, if enough space is available.

Im Ausführungsbeispiel nach FIG 1 ist die erste Baugruppe 1 und die zweite Baugruppe 2 jeweils in einem eigenen Gehäuse untergebracht.In the embodiment shown in FIG 1, the first module 1 and the second module 2 are each housed in a separate housing.

In der Ausführung nach FIG 2 ist bei der zweiten Baugruppe 2 die Klemme für den Außenleiter L rechts oben und die Klemme für den Neutralleiter N links darunter angeordnet. Die zweite Baugruppe in der Ausführung nach FIG 2 kann man im Ausführungsbeispiel nach FIG 1 um 180° um die Hochachse gewendet an der oberen Einbaulage an der ersten Baugruppe 1 anordnen. Für andere Verbrauchermärkte sind die zweiten Baugruppen 2 bezogen auf das geschilderte Ausführungsbeispiel dann lediglich ausgewechselt zu montieren.In the embodiment according to FIG. 2, in the case of the second module 2, the terminal for the outer conductor L is arranged on the top right and the terminal for the neutral conductor N on the left below. The second assembly in the embodiment of FIG 2 can be arranged in the embodiment of FIG 1 by 180 ° about the vertical axis at the upper mounting position on the first module 1. For other hypermarkets, the second modules 2 are then replaced only in relation to the described embodiment.

Wenn die Baugruppen 1 und 2 in einem jeweils eigenen Gehäuse untergebracht sind, kann man den Werkstoff an die jeweilige Funktion anpassen. Wenn die Baugruppen in einem gemeinsamen Gehäuse untergebracht sind, kann man die Montage so vorsehen, dass die Baugruppen erst spät in ein gemeinsames Gehäuse montiert werden.If the modules 1 and 2 are housed in their own housing, you can adapt the material to the respective function. If the modules are housed in a common housing, you can arrange the assembly so that the modules are installed late in a common housing.
