Definitions
- the present invention relates to a cut-off module for electrical apparatus comprising at least one housing provided with at least four fixed contacts, including an upstream fixed contact intended to be coupled to an input connection terminal, a downstream fixed contact intended to be coupled to an output connection terminal and two intermediate fixed contacts electrically connected to each other by a fuse or bridging, and at least two pairs of movable contacts, including a pair of upstream movable contacts and a pair of downstream movable contacts , to be coupled to a control member to be displaced between at least one engaged position in which the movable contacts are in contact with the fixed contacts and the electrical circuit is closed and a triggered position in which they are not in contact with the fixed contacts and the electrical circuit is open.
- the invention also relates to an electrical apparatus comprising at least one breaking module as defined above and at least one control module comprising said control member.
- the electrical devices concerned by the present invention are in particular switches, fuse switches, circuit breakers, and any single or multiphase electrical switching device used to distribute and control the electrical energy of an installation from a few tens to a few hundred. amperes.
- the publication FR-2.818.434 by the same holder describes an example of an electrical apparatus provided with a quadruple-cut mechanism in which the rotational movement of the control is transformed into a translational movement of the movable contacts by a cam system cooperating with sliders. This mechanism is doubled to double the movable contacts and allow the circulation of high currents with parts of reduced size.
- the latching and tripping speeds are not fast enough to limit the formation of arcing at each change of state of the apparatus taking into account the complex kinematics connecting the control member to the moving contacts. . This results in premature wear of the electrical contact areas and spurious effects in the transient states.
- the object of the present invention is to provide a breaking module having a better electromagnetic behavior through an operating kinematic allowing faster engagement and tripping speeds to reduce arcing and reduce their effects.
- Another object of the invention is to propose a so-called universal cut-off module, of a reduced cost price, that can be combined with other identical cut-off modules to cover several versions of electrical cut-off devices, but also to make different electrical devices, such as simple switches, simple or overlapping switches, etc.
- the invention relates to a cut-off module of the type indicated in the preamble, characterized in that the two pairs of movable contacts are rotatably mounted around the same axis of rotation and are coupled by a drive mechanism. in rotation arranged to reverse the direction of rotation of one pair relative to the other pair so that in the engaged position the current flows from the upstream fixed contact to the downstream fixed contact by describing a cross-loop.
- This simple kinematics makes it possible to obtain a higher cut-off speed thus limiting the formation of electric arcs.
- the inverse rotation of the moving contacts which generates a cross-loop current flow, has the effect of reversing and thus canceling the magnetic fields induced by the current in the two branches of the loop.
- the fixed contacts are arranged in pairs in two breaking chambers, superimposed in the housing and electrically insulated from each other, by at least one intermediate wall intended to be traversed by the control member. ordered.
- the fixed contacts of the same pair and the movable contacts of the same pair are advantageously diametrically opposed with respect to the axis of rotation.
- At least one pair of movable contacts is adapted to be coupled to the rotary controller, the other pair of movable contacts being rotated in opposite direction by said gear drive mechanism.
- This drive mechanism may comprise at least two identical and parallel toothed wheels, each toothed wheel being coupled to a pair of movable contacts, and at least one pinion or at least two diametrically opposite pinions meshing with the two toothed wheels.
- At least the mobile or fixed contacts comprise at least two electrically conductive blades forming a clamp for gripping the blade of the other fixed or movable contacts.
- at least the fixed or mobile contacts have beveled leading edges facilitating their interlocking in the engaged position with the other movable or fixed contacts.
