Abstract

Es wird ein elektrisches Installationsgerät, insbesondere Leitungsschutzschalter oder Motorschutzschalter vorgeschlagen, mit einem Gehäuse mit Anschlussmitteln (20, 21) zur Verbindung mit Stromschienen und/oder Anschlussleitungen an mindestens einer Stirnseite, mit mindestens einem Schaltkontakt mit einem feststehenden und einem beweglichen Schaltkontaktstück, zwischen denen bei einer Ausschaltung ein Lichtbogen (6) in einem Lichtbogen-Vorkammerraum (5) entsteht, welcher Lichtbogen über Lichtbogenleitschienen in eine strombegrenzende Lichtbogenlöscheinrichtung (7) einläuft. Im Bereich des Lichtbogen-Vorkammerraums (5) sind Vorkammerplatten (9, 12) angeordnet, durch welche Rückströmkanäle (10, 13) zwischen Gehäusewandung (2) und Vorkammerplatten (9, 12) von der Lichtbogenlöscheinrichtung (7) zum Lichtbogen-Vorkammerraum (5) gebildet werden. Die Gehäusewandung (2) ist im Bereich der Vorkammerplatten (9, 12) mit von außen zugänglichen Ausnehmungen (15, 17) versehen, in welche zur Schaffung eines AC-Hochleistungs-Schaltgeräts Eisenplatten (16, 18) und zur Schaffung eines DC-Hochleistungs-Schaltgeräts Permanentmagnetplatten (16, 18) eingelegt sind.

It is proposed an electrical installation device, in particular circuit breaker or motor protection switch, with a housing with connection means (20, 21) for connection to busbars and / or connection lines at least one end face, with at least one switching contact with a fixed and a movable switching contact piece, between which at an elimination of an arc (6) in an arc Vorkammerraum (5) arises, which arc enters via arc guide rails in a current-limiting arc quenching device (7). Antechamber plates (9, 12) are arranged in the area of the arc prechamber space (5), through which return flow channels (10, 13) between the housing wall (2) and prechamber plates (9, 12) from the arc quenching device (7) to the arc prechamber space (5 ) are formed. The housing wall (2) is provided in the region of the prechamber plates (9, 12) with externally accessible recesses (15, 17) into which iron plates (16, 18) are provided to provide a high power AC switching device and to provide high DC power Switch permanent magnet plates (16, 18) are inserted.
