Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Hilfsschalter gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruches 1, sowie eine Anordnung von Hilfsschaltern und Installationsschaltgeräten in einem Installationsverteiler.The invention relates to an auxiliary switch according to the preamble of claim 1, and an arrangement of auxiliary switches and service switching devices in an installation distributor.

Solche Hilfsschalter, die an die Breitseite eines elektrischen Installationsschaltgerätes angesetzt sind, dienen als Signal- oder als Steuerschalter und besitzen Anschlußklemmen für Zu- und Abgangsleiter und dazwischen wenigstens einen Wechselschalter, dessen bewegliches Kontaktstück zwischen zwei feststehenden Kontaktstücken hinund her bewegbar ist, abhängig von der Schaltstellung des Installationsgerätes, dem sie zugeordnet sind. Über spezielle Kupplungseinrichtungen wird ein im Hilfsschalter angeordnetes Schaltschloß angesteuert, wodurch das bewegliche Kontaktstück zwischen seinen beiden Endstellungen hin- und herbewegt wird.Such auxiliary switches, which are attached to the broad side of an electrical service switching device, serve as a signal or as a control switch and have terminals for incoming and outgoing conductors and in between at least one changeover switch whose movable contact piece between two fixed contact pieces is movable back and forth, depending on the switching position the installation device to which they are assigned. About special coupling means arranged in the auxiliary switch switching mechanism is driven, whereby the movable contact piece between its two end positions is reciprocated.

Hilfsschalter werden häufig in einer Anordnung von Installationsgeräten zusammen mit mehreren Installationsschaltgeräten und gegebenenfalls auch mit mehreren anderen Hilfsschaltern zusammen auf einer Normprofiltragschiene befestigt und so als Installationsgeräteverbund in Installationsverteilern verwendet.Auxiliary switches are often mounted in an array of installation devices together with several service switching devices and possibly also with several other auxiliary switches together on a standard profile support rail and used as installation equipment network in distribution boards.

Heute bekannte Hilfsschalter haben mehrere Klemmen für Zu- und Abgangsleiter, wobei die Anschlußklemmen für Zu- und Abgangsleiter oft zusammen auf einer Schmalseite angeordnet sind. So ist aus EP0815576 ein Hilfsschalter bekannt, der insgesamt 2 Zugangs- und 4 Abgangsklemmen auweist, wobei auf jeder Schmalseite des Hilfsschalters eine zugangs- und 2 Abgangsklemmen angeordnet sind. Eine ähnliche Klemmenanrodnung ist auch in einem Hilfsschalter nach EP 0303965 bekannt geworden.Today known auxiliary switch have several terminals for incoming and outgoing conductors, the terminals for incoming and outgoing conductors are often arranged together on a narrow side. That's how it is EP0815576 an auxiliary switch known, the total 2 access and 4 outgoing terminals auweist, with one access and 2 outgoing terminals are arranged on each narrow side of the auxiliary switch. A similar terminal arrangement is also available in an auxiliary switch EP 0303965 known.

Elektrische Installationsschaltgeräte besitzen an wenigstens einer ihrer Schmalseiten eine parallel zur Befestigungsebene verlaufende Anschlußklemme, die über eine Zugangsöffnung erreichbar ist und in die beispielsweise eine Sammelschiene oder eine Sammelschienenanordnung als Querverdrahtung eingesetzt werden kann. Dabei sind Installationsschaltgeräte bekannt, bei denen solche Anschlußklemmen auf beiden Seiten angeordnet sind.Electrical service switching devices have on at least one of its narrow sides a parallel to the mounting plane extending terminal, which is accessible via an access opening and in the example, a busbar or a busbar arrangement can be used as a cross-wiring. In this case, installation switching devices are known in which such terminals are arranged on both sides.

In der EP 0303965 ist ein Verbund eines Hilfsschalters mit mehreren Installationsschaltgeräten auf einer Normprofiltragschiene offenbart. Die Zugangsöffnungen zu den Zu- oder Abgangsklemmen des Hilfsschalters liegen dabei teilweise in einer Reihe mit den Zugangsöffnungen zu den Anschlußklemmen der Installationsschaltgeräte.In the EP 0303965 is a composite of an auxiliary switch with several service switching devices on a standard profile support rail disclosed. The access openings to the input or output terminals of the auxiliary switch are partially in line with the access openings to the terminals of the installation switching devices.

Eine übliche Sammelschiene oder Sammelschienenanordnung, wie sie zur Querverdrahtung von Installationsschaltgeräten verwendet wird, besteht im wesentlichen aus einem längserstreckten Leiter, dem in regelmäßigen Abständen senkrecht zur Längserstreckungsrichtung weisende, kurze Leiterstücke angebracht sind, welche alle in einer gemeinsamen Ebene liegen, so daß insgesamt die Sammelschiene ein kammartiges Aussehen aufweist. Der Abstand zwischen den abweisenden Leiterstücken entspricht dabei dem Rastmaß oder der Modulbreite der Installationsschaltgeräte. Sind mehrere Installationsschaltgeräte nebeneinander in einem Verteilerkasten auf einer Normprofiltragschiene angeordnet, so kann durch einfaches Einschieben der Sammelschiene in die nebeneinanderliegenden Klemmen der Installationsschaltgeräte die gleichzeitige Verbindung der Klemmen aller Installationsschaltgeräte untereinander erfolgen.A common busbar or busbar assembly, as used for cross wiring of service switching devices, consists essentially of an elongated conductor, which are arranged at regular intervals perpendicular to the longitudinal direction facing, short conductor pieces, which are all in a common plane, so that in total the busbar has a comb-like appearance. The distance between the repellent conductor pieces corresponds to the locking dimension or the module width of the installation switching devices. If several service switching devices are arranged side by side in a distribution box on a standard profile mounting rail, the simultaneous connection of the terminals of all the installation switching devices can be made by simply inserting the busbar into the adjacent terminals of the installation switching devices.

Sind jedoch zwischen den Installationsschaltgeräten Hilfsschalter der heute bekannten Art, wie z.B. aus EP 0303965 oder EP 0815576 bekannt, angebracht, so ist dies nicht mehr möglich, da die Hilfsschalter den Leiterstücken der Sammelschiene im Wege stehen. In EP 0303965 , Fig. 1, ist dies beispielsweise erkennbar. Es muß daher heute bei einer gemeinsamen Installation von Installationsschaltgeraten und Hilfsschaltern auf einer Normprofiltragschiene die Zu- und/oder Abgangsverdrahtungen zu jedem einzelnen Installationsgerät gesondert vorgenommen werden.However, are between the service switching devices auxiliary switch of the currently known type, such as from EP 0303965 or EP 0815576 known, appropriate, so this is no longer possible because the auxiliary switches are the conductor pieces of the busbar in the way. In EP 0303965 . Fig. 1 , this is for example recognizable. It must therefore today at a common installation of installation switching devices and auxiliary switches on a standard profile support rail the supply and / or output wiring to each installation device are made separately.

Die FR-A-2730854 zeigt eine Anordnung von einmoduligen elektrischen Steuerungs- und Leistungshauptgeräten, wie beispielsweise Leitungsschutzschalter, und einmoduligen elektrischen Zusatzgeräten, wie beispielsweise Anzeigen oder Steckdosen, wobei die Zusatzgeräte zwei nebeneinander liegende Anschlussklemmen für den Anschluss von Versorgungsleitungen aufweisen.The FR-A-2730854 FIG. 12 shows an assembly of single-module electrical control and power main devices, such as circuit breakers, and one-module auxiliary electrical devices, such as displays or sockets, the accessories having two side-by-side terminals for connecting utility lines.

DE 1 949 313 A bzw. US 5 969 587 A offenbaren jeweils einen Hilfsschalter gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1. Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es daher, einen Hilfsschalter mit weniger als einer ganzen Modulbreite so weiterzubilden, daß die Anschlußarbeit beim gemeinsamen Anbau von dem Hilfsschalter oder mehreren Hilfsschaltern im Verbund mit Installationsselbstschaltem auf einer Normprofiltragschiene unter Vermeidung der o.g. Nachteile vereinfacht ist, sowie eine Anordnung von Hilfsschaltern und Installationsschaltern anzugeben. DE 1 949 313 A respectively. US Pat. No. 5,969,587 A each discloses an auxiliary switch according to the preamble of claim 1. The object of the invention is, therefore, to develop an auxiliary switch with less than a whole module width so that the connection work is simplified in the common cultivation of the auxiliary switch or more auxiliary switches in conjunction with Installationsselfbstschaltem on a standard profile support rail while avoiding the above-mentioned disadvantages, and an array of auxiliary switches and installation switches.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgernäß durch die Merkmale des Anspruches 1 gelöst. Dabei besitzt der Hilfsschafter erfindungsgemäß genau eine Anschlußklemme für den Zugangsleiter, Zugangsklemme genannt, und genau zwei Anschlußklemmen für den Abgangsleiter, Abgangsklemmen genannt. Die Zugangsklemme befindet sich im Bereich einer Schmalseite und die Abgangsklemmen befinden sich im Bereich der anderen Schmalseite. Die Abgangsklemmen verlaufen parallel zur benachbarten Schmalseite und die Zugangsöffnungen zum Einführen der Leiter befinden sich ebenfalls an der Schmalseite und von der Befestigungsseite aus gesehen hintereinander angeordnet, wobei die der Befestigungsseite näher gelegenen, hinteren Zugangsöffnung zugeordnete Abgangsklemme einen größeren Abstand von der Schmalseite einnimmt als die der weiter von der Befestigungsfläche entfernten, vorderen Zugangsöffnung zugehörige Abgangsklemme. Das Hilfsschaltergehäuse weist im Bereich zwischen der Befestigungsseite und den Zugangs- bzw. Abgangsklemmen an den hinteren Schmalseiten in diese einmündende, parallel zur Befestigungsebene in Richtung zur Gehäusemitte hin verlaufende Aussparungen auf, so dass bei Aneinanderrreihung des Hilfsschalters mit anderen Installationsschaltgeräten Anschlussfahnen von Querverdrahtungs-Sammelschienen der anderen Installationsschaltgeräte in den Aussparungen aufgenommen werden können. This object is achieved according erfindungsgernäß by the features of claim 1. In this case, the assistant has according to the invention exactly one terminal for the access ladder, called access terminal, and called exactly two terminals for the outgoing conductor, outgoing terminals. The access clamp is located in the area of a narrow side and the outgoing terminals are in the area of the other narrow side. The outgoing terminals are parallel to the adjacent narrow side and the access openings for insertion of the conductors are also arranged on the narrow side and from the mounting side of one another, wherein the fastening side closer located, the rear access opening associated outlet terminal occupies a greater distance from the narrow side than that of the further away from the mounting surface, front access port associated outlet terminal. The auxiliary switch housing has in the area between the attachment side and the access or exit terminals on the rear narrow sides in this merging, parallel to the mounting plane toward the housing center extending recesses, so that when lining up the auxiliary switch with other service switching devices terminal lugs of cross-wiring busbars other service switching devices can be accommodated in the recesses.

Mit dieser Ausgestaltung kann der Abgangsleiter als erster in die hintere Zugangsöffnung eingeführt und dort festgeklemmt werden; die Einführung des Abgangsleiters in die vordere Zugangsöffnung wird dabei durch den hinteren Abgangsleiter nicht mehr behindert; der Abgangsleiter in der vorderen Zugangsöffnung ist während der Montage immer sichtbar.With this configuration, the outgoing conductor can be first inserted into the rear access opening and clamped there; the introduction of the outgoing conductor in the front access opening is no longer hindered by the rear outlet conductor; the outlet ladder in the front access opening is always visible during assembly.

Die Zu- und Abgangsklemmen des Hilfsschalters liegen dadurch erfindungsgemäß so, daß bei gemeinsamer Montage mehrerer Hilfsschalter mit Installationsschaltgeräten auf einer Normprofiltragschiene die Zu- und Abgangsklemmen der Hilfsschalter in einer Linie parallel zur Befestigungsebene liegen, und die Zu- und Abgangsklemmen der Installationsschaltgeräte auch auf einer Linie parallel zur Befestigungsebene liegen, wobei die Linie der Klemmen des Hilfsschalters und die Linie der Anschlußklemmen des Installationsschaltgerätes einen Abstand voneinander aufweisen.The input and output terminals of the auxiliary switch are thus according to the invention so that when common mounting several auxiliary switch with service switching devices on a standard profile support rail, the input and output terminals of the auxiliary switch in one Line are parallel to the mounting plane, and the input and output terminals of the service switching devices also lie on a line parallel to the mounting plane, the line of the terminals of the auxiliary switch and the line of the terminals of the service switching device at a distance from each other.

Folglich besteht hinsichtlich einer Anordnung von Hilfsschaltern und Installationsschaltgeräten in einem Installationsverteiler der Kern der Erfindung darin, daß die Zuund/oder Abgangsklemmen mit den zugehörigen Zugangsöffnungen der Installationsschaltgeräte auf einer Linie parallel zur Befestigungsebene liegen, daß die Zuund/oder Abgangsklemmen mit den zugehörigen Zugangsöffnungen der Hilfsschalter auf einer Linie parallel zur Befestigungsebene liegen, und daß die Linie der Anschlußklemmen der Hilfsschalter und die Linie der Anschlußklemmen der Installationsschaltgeräte einen Abstand voneinander aufweisen.Consequently, with respect to an arrangement of auxiliary switches and service switching devices in an installation distributor, the gist of the invention is that the supply and / or outgoing terminals with the associated access openings of the service switching devices are in a line parallel to the mounting plane that the Zuund / or output terminals with the associated access openings of the auxiliary switch lie on a line parallel to the mounting plane, and that the line of the terminals of the auxiliary switch and the line of the terminals of the service switching devices have a distance from each other.

Das Hilfsschaltergehäuse weist an den hinteren Schmalseiten in diese einmündende, parallel zur Befestigungsebene verlaufende, Aussparungen auf, deren Abstand von der Befestigungsseite dem Abstand entspricht, den Querverdrahtungs- Sammelschienen für zugehörige Installationsschaltgeräte in einer Installationsverteilung einnehmen.The auxiliary switch housing has at the rear narrow sides in this merging, parallel to the mounting plane, recesses whose distance from the mounting side corresponds to the distance to take the cross-wiring busbars for associated service switching devices in an installation distribution.

Dadurch ist es nun möglich, bei gemeinsamer Anordnung von Installationsschaltgeräten und Hilfsschaltern auf einer Normprofiltragschiene, die Anschlußklemmen der Installationsschaltgeräte untereinander durch Sammelschienen zu verbinden, ohne daß der Hilfsschalter dem im Wege steht, da an der Stelle, an der sich der Hilfsschalter befindet, das abstehende Leiterstück der Sammelschiene in der Aussparung im Hilfsschaltergehäuse aufgenommen ist. Weiterhin ist es möglich, auch die Zu- und Abgangsklemmen der Hilfsschalter untereinander durch Sammelschienen zu verbinden.This makes it possible, with a common arrangement of service switching devices and auxiliary switches on a standard profile support rail to connect the terminals of the installation switching devices to each other by busbars without the auxiliary switch is in the way, because at the point where the auxiliary switch is located, the protruding Conductor piece of the busbar is received in the recess in the auxiliary switch housing. Furthermore, it is possible to connect the input and output terminals of the auxiliary switch with each other by busbars.

Anhand der Zeichnungen, in der ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung dargestellt ist, sollen die Erfindung sowie weitere vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen und Verbesserungen der Erfindung sowie weitere Vorteile näher erläutert und beschrieben werden.Reference to the drawings, in which an embodiment of the invention is shown, the invention and further advantageous refinements and improvements of the invention and other advantages to be explained and described.

Die Fig. 1 zeigt das eine schalenförmige Gehäuseteil.On the opposite side of the recess 15, a flat step 16a is mounted, with which the auxiliary switch 10 can be supported on a second outwardly facing leg 17a of a cap profile support rail 18. The Fig. 1 shows the a cup-shaped housing part.

Das Gehäuseunterteil, daß in der Figur dargestellt ist, wird dann mittels eines Deckels verschlossen.The lower housing part, which is shown in the figure, is then closed by means of a lid.

Im Bereich der der Nase entgegengesetzt liegenden hinteren Schmalseitenfläche 20 befindet sich eine Anschlußklemme 21 für einen Zugangsleiter 22, wobei die Anschlußklemme 21, auch Zugangsklemme genannt, eine Klemmschraube 23 aufweist, die von der Frontseite, hier von der hinteren Frontseite 24 über eine Öffnung 25 für einen Schraubendreher zugänglich ist. An der hinteren Schmalseitenfläche 20 befindet sich weiter eine Zugangsöffnung 26, durch die der Anschlußleiter 22 der Zugangsklemme 21 zugeführt wird. Die Anschlußklemme 21 verläuft senkrecht zur Befestigungsebene oder parallel zur hinteren Schmalseitenfläche 20.In the area of the nose opposite rear narrow side surface 20 is a terminal 21 for an access conductor 22, wherein the terminal 21, also called access terminal, a clamping screw 23 which from the front, here from the rear front side 24 via an opening 25 for a screwdriver is accessible. On the rear narrow side surface 20 is further an access opening 26, through which the connecting conductor 22 of the access terminal 21 is supplied. The terminal 21 is perpendicular to the mounting plane or parallel to the rear narrow side surface 20th

Im Bereich der entgegengesetzt liegenden hinteren Schmalseite 27 befinden sich zwei Anschlußklemmen 28 und 29, in denen je ein Abgangsleiter 30, 31 festgeklemmt werden kann. Der Abgangsleiter 30 wird über eine vordere Zugangsöffnung 32 mit der Abgangsklemme 28 und der Abgangsleiter 31 über eine hintere Zuführöffnung 33 der Abgangsklemme 29 zugeführt, wobei in beiden Klemmen 28, 29 die Abgangsleiter 30, 31 festgelegt und angeschlossen werden können.In the region of the opposite rear narrow side 27 are two terminals 28 and 29, in each of which a drain conductor 30, 31 can be clamped. The outlet conductor 30 is connected via a front access opening 32 with the outlet terminal 28 and the outlet conductor 31 via a rear feed opening 33 of the outlet terminal 29, wherein in both terminals 28, 29, the outgoing conductors 30, 31 can be set and connected.

Auch die Anschlußklemmen 28 und 29 verlaufen parallel zu der hinteren Schmalseitenfläche 27 oder senkrecht zur Befestigungsebene 14. An der hinteren Frontseitenfläche 34 sind Öffnungen 35, 36 angeordnet, die - wie die Anschlußklemmen 28 - in einer parallel zur Zeichenfläche liegenden Ebene liegen. Über die Öffnung 35 ist die Klemmschraube 37 der Anschlußklemme 28 und über die Öffnung 36 die Klemmschraube 38 der Abgangsklemme 29 einem Schraubendreher zugänglich.Also, the terminals 28 and 29 extend parallel to the rear narrow side surface 27 or perpendicular to the mounting plane 14. At the rear front surface 34 openings 35, 36 are arranged, which - like the terminals 28 - lie in a plane parallel to the drawing surface. About the opening 35, the clamping screw 37 of the terminal 28 and the opening 36, the clamping screw 38 of the outgoing terminal 29 is accessible to a screwdriver.

Wenn die Abgangsleiter 30, 31 angeschlossen werden sollen, dann wird zunächst der Abgangsleiter 31 durch die hintere Zugangsöffnung 33 der Anschlußklemme 29 eingeführt, so daß zunächst der hintere Zugangsleiter 31 festgeklemmt werden kann. Nach festklemmen des hinteren Abgangsleiters wird der vordere Abgangsleiter 30 angeschlossen, was erfolgen kann, ohne daß dieses Anschließen durch den hinteren Abgangsleiter behindert wird.If the output conductors 30, 31 are to be connected, then the output conductor 31 is first inserted through the rear access opening 33 of the terminal 29, so that initially the rear access conductor 31 can be clamped. After clamping the rear output conductor, the front output conductor 30 is connected, which can be done without obstructing this connection by the rear output conductor.

Im Inneren des Hilfsschalters 10 befindet sich ein Schaltschloß 40, das über ein Betätigungselement 41 einen Kontakthebel 42 um eine gedachte Achse 43 verschwenken kann; hierbei kann der Kontakthebel 42 durch eine Blattfeder gebildet sein, wobei dadurch ein eigentlicher Drehpunkt, wie er in der Figur eingezeichnet und mit 43 bezeichnet ist, nicht vorhanden. Über einen Verbindungsleiter 44 wird der Kontakthebel 42 mit der Zugangsklemme 21 verbunden.Inside the auxiliary switch 10 is a switching mechanism 40, which can pivot about an actuator 41, a contact lever 42 about an imaginary axis 43; In this case, the contact lever 42 may be formed by a leaf spring, thereby an actual pivot point, as shown in the figure and designated 43, not present. Via a connecting conductor 44, the contact lever 42 is connected to the access terminal 21.

Der Kontakthebel 42 trägt ein bewegliches Kontaktstück 45, das mit einem ersten feststehenden Kontaktstück 46 und mit einem zweiten feststehenden Kontaktstück 47 in Kontakt bzw. in elektrisch leitende Verbindung bringbar ist. Das feststehende Kontaktstück 46 ist über einen Leiter 48 mit der Abgangsklemme 28 verbunden, wobei dieser Leiter 48 hinter der Abgangsklemme 29 geführt ist und nicht mit der Abgangsklemme 29 in Verbindung steht. Das andere feststehende Kontaktstück 47 ist mittels eines Verbindungsleiters 49 mit der Abgangsklemme 29 verbunden.The contact lever 42 carries a movable contact piece 45, which is engageable with a first fixed contact piece 46 and with a second fixed contact piece 47 in contact or in electrically conductive connection. The fixed contact piece 46 is connected via a conductor 48 to the output terminal 28, said conductor 48 is guided behind the output terminal 29 and is not connected to the output terminal 29 in connection. The other fixed contact piece 47 is connected by means of a connecting conductor 49 to the output terminal 29.

Da der Hilfsschalter 10 an Leitungsschutzschalter oder Fehlerstromschutzschalter angereiht werden soll, die zugangs- oder abgangsseitig mittels einer durchgehenden Querverdrahtung in Form einer Sammelschiene oder einer Sammelschienenanordnung verbunden wird, benötigt das Hilfsschaltergehäuse 10 auf beiden hinteren Schmalseitenflächen 20, 27 je eine parallel zur Befestigungsebene 14 verlaufenden Aussparung 50, 51, die jeweils in die hintere Schmalseitenfläche 20 bzw. 27 einmünden. Der Abstand beispielsweise der Aussparung 50 von der Befestigungsebene kann größer sein als der Abstand der Aussparung 51 von der Befestigungsebene, oder gegebenenfalls auch umgekehrt, was abhängig ist von der Ausgestaltung der mit dem Hilfsschalter verbundenen Installationsgeräte. Beide Abstände können natürlich auch gleich groß sein.Since the auxiliary switch 10 is to be connected to miniature circuit breaker or residual current circuit breaker, the input or output side is connected by means of a continuous cross-wiring in the form of a busbar or a busbar assembly, the auxiliary switch housing 10 on both rear narrow side surfaces 20, 27 each require a parallel to the mounting plane 14 extending recess 50, 51, each opening into the rear narrow side surface 20 and 27 respectively. The distance, for example, the recess 50 from the mounting plane may be greater than the distance of the recess 51 from the mounting plane, or possibly vice versa, which is dependent on the configuration of the associated with the auxiliary switch installation devices. Of course, both distances can be the same size.

Zu ergänzen ist, daß die Klemmen 21, 28 und 29 jeweils in Klemmenaufnahmeräumen 52, 53 und 54 eingesetzt sind, die durch entsprechende Wandabschnitte oder Leisten (ohne Bezugsziffern) umgrenzt sind, so daß sich die Klemmen nicht innerhalb des Schaltgerätes verschieben können. Ebenfalls sind die Klemmen mit einem Steckschutz versehen, wie er im Stand der Technik bekannt ist, durch den verhindert wird, daß bei zugedrehter, aber nicht durch einen Leiter angeschlossener Klemme, unbeabsichtigt ein Leiterstück in den Klemmenaufnahmeraum eingeführt werden kann.It should be added that the terminals 21, 28 and 29 are respectively inserted into terminal receiving spaces 52, 53 and 54, which are bounded by corresponding wall sections or strips (without reference numerals), so that the terminals can not move within the switching device. Also, the terminals are provided with a plug-in protection, as is known in the art, is prevented by the inadvertent, but not connected by a conductor terminal, a conductor piece can be inadvertently introduced into the terminal receiving space.

Fig. 2 zeigt eine Ansicht auf die unteren Schmalseitenflächen einer gemeinsame Anordnung von fünf erfindungsgemäßen Hilfsschaltern 10a,b,c,d,e und drei Installationsschaltgeräten 60a,b,c auf einer Hutprofilschiene 18. Die Zugangsöffnungen 26a,b,c,d,e zu den Zugangsklemmen der Hilfsschalter 10a,b,c,d,e befinden sich auf einer Linie parallel zur Befestigungsebene, ebenfalls die Zugangsöffnungen zu den Zugangsklemmen der Installationsschaltgeräte 60a,b,c. Die Linie der Zugangsöffnungen zu den Zugangsklemmen der Hilfsschalter 10a,b,c,d,e liegt dabei weiter von der Befestigungsebene entfernt als die Linie der Zugangsöffnungen zu den Zugangsklemmen der Installationsschaltgeräte 60a,b,c. Die Zugangsklemmen der Installationsschaltgeräte 60a,b,c sind untereinander durch eine Sammelschiene 70 verbunden. Die Zugangsklemmen 26a,b,c,d der Hilfsschalter 10a,b,c,d sind untereinander durch eine zweite Sammelschiene 80 verbunden. Sammelschiene 70 ist galvanisch von Sammelschiene 80 getrennt. Beide Sammelschienen, die Sammelschiene 70 und die Sammelschiene 80, können installiert und/oder entfernt werden, ohne die jeweils andere Sammelschiene entfernen zu müssen. An dem Installationsschaltgerät 60b ist an der Zugangsseite zusammen mit der Sammelschiene auch noch der Zugangsleiter 90 zur Stromzuleitung zu den Installationsschaltgeräten 60a,b,c installiert. Der Zugangsleiter 90 kann installiert und/oder entfernt werden, ohne die Querverdrahtung der Hilfsschalter über die Sammelschiene 80 oder die Querverdrahtung der Installationsschaltgeräte über die Sammelschiene 70 lösen zu müssen. Fig. 2 shows a view of the lower narrow side surfaces of a common arrangement of five auxiliary switches according to the invention 10a, b, c, d, e and three installation switching devices 60a, b, c on a DIN rail 18. The access openings 26a, b, c, d, e to the access terminals the auxiliary switch 10a, b, c, d, e are located on a line parallel to the mounting plane, also the access openings to the access terminals of the service switching devices 60a, b, c. The line of access openings to the access terminals of the auxiliary switches 10a, b, c, d, e is further away from the mounting plane than the line of access openings to the access terminals of the service switching devices 60a, b, c. The access terminals of the service switching devices 60a, b, c are interconnected by a busbar 70. The access terminals 26a, b, c, d of the auxiliary switches 10a, b, c, d are interconnected by a second busbar 80. Bus bar 70 is galvanically isolated from bus bar 80. Both busbars, busbar 70 and busbar 80, can be installed and / or removed without having to remove the other busbar. At the service switching device 60b, the access conductor 90 to the power supply to the service switching devices 60a, b, c is installed on the access side together with the busbar. The access conductor 90 can be installed and / or removed without having to solve the cross wiring of the auxiliary switches via the busbar 80 or the cross wiring of the service switching devices via the busbar 70.

Wie aus der Fig. 2 ersichtlich, sind bei gemeinsamer Anordnung von Hilfsschaltern und/oder Installationsschaltgeräten auf einer gemeinsamen Normprofilschiene alle Anschlußklemmen der Hilfsschalter und der Installationsschaltgeräte aufgrund der erfindungsgemäßen Ausgestaltung der Hilfsschalter geordnet und übersichtlich so angeordnet, daß sie leicht zugänglich sind und die Hilfsschalter untereinander über Sammelschienen verbunden werden können und die Installationsschaltgeräte untereinander mit Sammelschienen verbunden werden können. Es ist leicht vorstellbar, hier aber nicht figürlich dargestellt, daß nach Entfernen der Sammelschienen 70 und 80 beispielsweise die Hilfsschalter 10c und 10d sowie der Installationsschalter 60c aus dem Verbund herausgenommen werden können, ohne daß damit die anderen Hilfsschalter und Installationsschalter auch entfernt werden müßten.Like from the Fig. 2 it can be seen in a common arrangement of auxiliary switches and / or service switching devices on a common rail standard all terminals of the auxiliary switch and the service switching devices due to the inventive design of the auxiliary switch ordered and clearly arranged so that they are easily accessible and the auxiliary switch can be connected to each other via busbars and the service switching devices can be connected to each other with busbars. It is easy to imagine, but not figuratively shown here that after removal of the busbars 70 and 80, for example, the auxiliary switch 10c and 10d and the installation switch 60c can be removed from the composite without the other auxiliary switch and installation switch would have to be removed.
