Abstract

L'invention concerne un disjoncteur électrique (1), en particulier un disjoncteur à moteur, qui comprend un boîtier (12) constitué d'une matière isolante, un ensemble de contacts de commutation et une unité de déclenchement pourvue d'un déclencheur rapide (10) électromagnétique, comprenant une bobine de déclencheur (38), un noyau magnétique (68), un induit magnétique (62) et un induit d'impact (69). L'objectif de l'invention est de simplifier la structure d'un tel disjoncteur, de telle sorte qu'il puisse être assemblé de façon plus confortable et que les valeurs de réponse destinées au déclencheur rapide puissent être réglées de façon simple. Cet objectif est atteint par le fait que l'induit magnétique (62) est monté, de façon à pouvoir se déplacer axialement, dans un corps de réception (60) constitué d'une matière isolante. Ledit corps de réception (60) loge un ressort (64) qui exerce une sollicitation sur l'induit magnétique (62) dans le sens opposé au sens du mouvement de déclenchement de celui-ci, ledit corps de réception (60) ainsi équipé pouvant être monté, de façon remplaçable, dans l'unité de déclenchement.
