Definitions

  • the invention relates to the field of protection of electrical installations and people.
  • It relates more particularly to a differential switch provided with a test circuit for ensuring the proper operation of the differential switch.
  • the differential switches are circuit breakers able to trigger automatically to open an electrical circuit when it has a leakage current.
  • conductors connected to the electrical circuit to be protected are surrounded by an induction coil and, when the intensity of the current flowing in one direction is different from the intensity of the current flowing in the other direction. (which reveals the presence of a leakage current on the electrical circuit to be protected), an induced current is created in the coil and allows to supply an actuator which triggers the mechanism with the consequence of opening a pair of power contacts which cut at least one pole of the circuit.
  • the differential switches generally comprise a test circuit that makes it possible to simulate the presence of a leakage current and thus to check the correct tripping of the differential switch.
  • the principle commonly used to simulate such a leakage current consists in creating, within the differential switch, a bypass circuit comprising a resistor, one of whose terminals is connected to a pole of the circuit. electrical to protect on one side of the induction coil, and the other terminal is connected to another pole of the electrical circuit to be protected on the other side of the induction coil.
  • a simulated leakage current depending on the value of the resistance, is thus created.
  • This branch circuit is kept open by a test switch, for example of the push switch type, which is accessible from the differential switch housing for a user to implement the test function.
  • a pressure on the test contactor while the differential switch is triggered leads to connect the terminals of the devices of the electrical circuit to be protected across the test resistor, which presents a danger especially if these devices can store energy as is the case for example of a TV.
  • EP 0 456 586 discloses a test circuit for a differential release and having different springs, one of these springs cooperating with a transmission part of the actuating mechanism of the release so as to open the test circuit when the differential release has been actuated.
  • the document EP 0 295 167 describes a test set for differential electrical protection apparatus.
  • the test assembly comprises a conductive blade with two branches, one of the branches providing the function of the test push switch and the other branch ensuring the self-cutting. being separated from its contact position by an element of the contact opening mechanism which is intended to open the electrical circuit to be protected.
  • the document GB 2026244 A discloses a differential switch according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • the aim of the invention is to improve such a differential switch provided with a test circuit, particularly with regard to the self-cutting function.
  • the elements for performing the self-cutting function of such a differential switch are directly related to the elements for performing the function of opening the electrical circuit to be protected.
  • the self-cutting blade being directly connected to the pivoting contact and the self-cutting branch being disposed opposite the self-cutting blade, these elements can be mounted directly on the mechanism of the differential switch. It is not necessary, for example, to use the housing of the differential switch to support these elements, which makes it possible not to depend on the dimensional tolerances or shape variations of an element attached to the mechanism, such as than the case.
  • the arrangement of the conductive branch extending in a direction transverse to the axis of rotation of the pivoting contact allows not only to take advantage of the pivoting of the contact to perform the self-cutting function, but also allows to take advantage of this pivoting in a manner almost independent of the position variation of the axis of rotation.
  • the axis of rotation of the pivoting contact will tend to move along a direction substantially parallel to the self-cutting branch, which will have little effect on the contact between the self-cutting blade and the self-cutting branch since this contact essentially depends on the position of the self-cutting blade with respect to said axis of rotation to which it is linked.
  • the pivoting contact further comprises a protruding spacer and adapted to lift the autocoupure branch when the pivoting contact is in the open position.
  • the spacer may be a tab of insulating material disposed transversely to the self-cutting branch.
  • This spacer makes it possible to increase the distance between the self-cutting branch and the self-cutting blade when the pivoting contact is in the open position, which ensures better insulation between these two parts and makes it possible to be even less dependent on manufacturing tolerances and deformations of the differential switch.
  • the spacer may comprise a notch adapted to guide the self-cutting branch.
  • the spacer and the self-cutting blade are arranged face to face and on either side of the axis of rotation of the pivoting contact.
  • This arrangement allows the chopper blade and the chopper branch to cooperate with each other so that when the chopper blade moves away from the chopper branch, the spacer moves up and when the chopper blade gets closer to the branch of the autocenter, the spacer loosens it.
  • the effects of these two elements thus accumulate advantageously.
  • the differential switch may further comprise a first stop finger disposed in the path of the self-cutting branch and adapted to limit the lifting thereof. Similarly, it may also include a second stop finger disposed vis-à-vis the first stop finger and the autocoupure branch can be maintained between the first stop finger and the second stop finger.
  • test contactor is thus produced in an economical and reliable manner.
  • the pusher spring and the chopper branch can be made in one piece, the number of elements participating in the test circuit being thereby greatly reduced.
  • the pivoting contact can be mounted on a pivoting support, said support being made of insulating material and having a projecting tongue forming the spacer.
  • the movable contact may be connected to a conductive contact spring blade which has a projecting portion forming the self-cutting blade.
  • the contacts 1, 2 are biased by an opening spring 3 so that their position at rest is the open position.
  • the movable contact 2 comprises a key member 4 intended to be positioned against a similar key member 5 belonging to the fixed contact 1, when the movable contact 2 is in its closed position.
  • the contact member 4 of the movable contact 2 is mounted in an insulating support 6 and wedged by a contact spring-blade 7, the latter also performing the function of self-cutting blade as explained below.
  • the insulating support 6 is pivotally mounted about an axis 8 to give the moving contact the degree of freedom necessary to occupy its closed positions ( Figures 1 and 2 ) and openness ( Figures 3 and 4 ).
  • the insulating support 6 further comprises a tongue 14 protruding vis-à-vis the spring-contact blade 7, these two elements 7, 14 extending in a direction transverse to the axis 8 and being arranged on the side and the tongue 14 has, on its upper part, a notch 19 provided for cooperation with a self-cutting branch 10.
  • lever 9 to be accessible from the outside so that the user can handle it. It controls the mechanism of the differential switch and has two positions corresponding to the two positions of the movable contact 2 of the figures 1 and 3 .
  • a single piece comprising a self-cutting branch 10 and a push spring 11 is disposed on the mechanism so that the self-cutting branch extends to the top of the insulating support 6, transversely to the axis 8.
  • the autocuture branch 10 is further held in place between two stop fingers 12, 13 attached to a fixed portion of the differential switch (not shown).
  • a pusher spring 11 formed of a helical winding and a projecting branch 15 disposed opposite a conductive key 16.
  • This conductive button 16 is intended to be connected to a terminal of the test resistor (not shown) whose other terminal is connected to a pole of the differential switch.
  • test button 17 is further provided to cooperate with the projecting limb 15.
  • the test button is intended to be slidably held by the housing (not shown) of the differential switch to be able to occupy a rest position in which it does not urge the protruding limb 15 and an operating position in which it pushes (under the action of the user) the limb protruding against the key 16.
  • FIG 5 uses the same elements of Figures 1 to 4 with, in addition, a second pair of contacts 18 simultaneously controlled contacts 1, 2 described above, which is common for a differential switch.
  • the tongue 14 is away from the autocoupure branch 10 while the cutter blade 7 is positioned against the autocoupure branch 10.
  • the holding of the latter by the stop fingers 12, 13 allows to take advantage of its elasticity to ensure good electrical contact with the self-cutting blade 7.
  • the self-cutting function is therefore not activated and the action on the test button 17 effectively implements the test function.
  • the tongue 14 is then held against the autocoupure branch 10 and raises it, while the autocutter blade 7 is away.
  • the distance between the chopper blade 7 and the chopper branch 10 depends on the distance between the tongue 14 (and therefore between the axis 8) and the stop fingers 12, 13.
  • the self-cutting function is thus activated, implying that even if pressure is applied to the test button 17 to make contact between the branch 15 and the key 16, the electrical continuity of the test circuit will not be established.
  • the invention is not limited to the examples described and shown, particularly with regard to the arrangement of the conductive pad 16 and the pusher spring 11.
