Definitions
- the invention relates to a circuit breaker with at least one single-pole circuit breaker module, wherein the or each circuit breaker module, a housing, a moving contact-carrying switching arm which is pivotable between a closed position and an open position against a fixed contact, a manual actuation mechanism for manual adjustment of the contact lever between the closed position and the opening position, and a trigger mechanism for automatically resetting the contact lever in the open position upon the occurrence of a trigger condition.
- Such a circuit breaker is known for example from FR 2 661 776 A1.
- the trigger mechanism of the known circuit breaker comprises an electromagnetic release and a bimetallic release.
- the electromagnetic release detects a short circuit
- the bimetallic release detects an overload condition.
- the corresponding trigger acts on a triggering arm, which in turn unlatches the switching arm and thus triggers the return of the switching arm into the open position.
- a circuit breaker of the abovementioned type is generally intended to bring about the fastest possible separation of the electrical connection formed between the moving contact and the fixed contact when the tripping condition occurs in order to effectively protect a circuit connected downstream of the circuit breaker against a short circuit and / or overload damage.
- a switching arc as it inevitably arises in the switching operation between the moving contact and the fixed contact, should be deleted as quickly as possible in order to bring the current flow to a standstill and avoid burning off the contact material as far as possible.
- the rapid extinction of the switching arc is of particular importance in short-circuit and overload conditions, especially since in these cases the switching arc develops a particularly strong destructive effect as a result of the high current flow.
- a circuit breaker should be as simple as possible and inexpensive to manufacture but at the same time for manufacturing reasons. Circuit breakers of the above type are made in both single-pole and multi-pole versions. In terms of a cost-saving production, it is common practice to realize multi-pole circuit breakers modular in each case from single-pole circuit breaker modules, wherein the circuit breaker modules for realizing a multi-pole circuit breaker are lined up frontally. Such a modular circuit breaker is known, for example, from EP 0 538 149 A1.
- the object of the invention is to provide a circuit breaker which is particularly suitable against the background described above, in particular with regard to rational manufacturability.
- a coupling piece for this purpose, which serves both the mechanical fixation of the circuit breaker modules together, as well as a coupling of the manual actuation mechanism and the trigger mechanism of the adjacent circuit breaker modules causes.
- This coupling piece is in one piece in a particularly simple embodiment, in particular as a low-priced plastic injection molded part formed.
- the switching arm is spring-loaded in the direction of the open position and can be latched with a driver of the manual operating mechanism such that the switching arm is movable against the spring pressure in the closed position by means of the manual actuation mechanism and is held there as a result of the latch.
- the release mechanism has expediently a trigger slide, which is displaceable by means of a trigger from a standby position in the direction of a release position, ie, a position which assumes the release slide in the released state.
- the trigger slide is preferably designed such that it disengages the shift arm to one of the driver while feeding, so that the switching arm is automatically moved in the direction of the open position due to the spring pressure, but that the trigger slide on the other hand, the switching arm is acted upon in the direction of the open position to accelerate the return of the switching arm in the open position.
- the release slide for unlatching of the switching arm preferably on a Entklinkungskontur, which leads away the driver from an attack position with the switching arm, so that the switching arm is released.
- the trigger slide preferably has a corresponding stop.
- the release slide is expediently designed such that it performs its successive feed as part of the triggering process, its two functions, namely the unlatching of the switching arm of the driver and the "pushing" of the switching arm, approximately simultaneously, wherein the switching arm expediently
- the circuit breaker is designed such that the tripping slide is accelerated in the course of the tripping process, before it strikes against the switching arm, and therefore encounters this at a non-zero initial speed in order to overcome the mechanical inertia of the switching arm as quickly as possible by utilizing the kinetic energy of the trigger slide.
- the switching arm is designed in two parts and comprises a contact lever, which carries the actual moving contact, and a latch lever which can be latched to the manual operating mechanism.
- the latch lever is pivotally mounted on the housing.
- the contact lever is articulated by means of a rotary joint on the latch lever.
- the contact lever is biased elastically relative to the latch lever in the direction of the closed position, so that the moving contact, when the switching arm is in its closed position, bears under pretension on the fixed contact. Due to the flexibility of the switching arm and the bias is achieved that even with increasing wear of the contact material to the moving contact and the fixed contact, as is inevitable in the life of the circuit breaker, always a secure contact of the contacts is guaranteed.
- a spring in particular a tension spring, is provided which biases both the contact lever in the direction of the closed position, as well as the switching arm in the direction of the open position. This double function of the spring is achieved by the point of application of the spring, seen from the moving contact, behind the pivot, on the contact lever is arranged.
- the trigger slide and the switching arm are designed such that the trigger slide, when it abuts against the switching arm, simultaneously rotationally fixed the contact lever in its position to the housing. This avoids that the switching arm at the beginning of the reset phase first (under relative rotation of the contact lever to the latch lever) relaxes. As a result, the moving contact would first be held on the fixed contact and the switching process is delayed.
- the movement contact is lifted directly from the fixed contact with the abutment of the release slide on the switching arm as a result of the rotational fixation.
- the so-called proper time of the circuit breaker in the short-circuit release ie the time between the onset of the short-circuit current and the lifting of the contacts, can be significantly reduced.
- a proper time of up to about 0.5 msec can be achieved.
- the short-circuit current is thereby effectively limited already in the rise phase.
- the trigger slide is preferably arranged to the switching arm, that it abuts against the located in its closed position switching arm in the region of the rotary joint.
- This embodiment is on the one hand advantageous in that when striking the trigger slide no torque (relative to the pawl lever) is exerted on the contact lever, so that the kinetic energy of the trigger slider is fully used in the acceleration of the switching arm as a whole.
- this embodiment is based on the finding that the position of the rotary joint, in contrast to the orientation of the contact lever in the closed position, is independent of the wear of the contact material.
- the hinge is chosen as a starting point for the trip slider, thus over the life of the circuit breaker constant switching behavior is achieved.
- the trigger slide is advanced by the trigger only during an initial phase of the triggering operation. In a subsequent triggering phase, however, the trigger slide is taken along by the switching arm returning to its open position until the triggering position is reached.
- This design takes into account that only a comparatively small stroke can be generated by conventional triggers.
- the feed distance of the release slide between the standby position and the release position is extended.
- the larger feed distance of the trip slider is particularly advantageous to give the trigger slide a switching pulse for the coupled triggering adjacent circuit breaker modules.
- the trip slider also serves to realize a free release of the circuit breaker.
- release trip is understood to mean a mechanical forcible decoupling of the shift arm from the manual actuation mechanism, which causes the shift arm to be triggered even when the manual actuation mechanism is held in a position corresponding to the closed position of the shift arm and the shift arm can be locked by means of the manual actuation mechanism. nik can not be adjusted to the closed position, if and as long as the trigger condition exists.
- the release slide is provided as part of the Entklinkungskontur with a (2004)cetschräge on which the driver of the manual operation mechanism is guided, and on which the driver is unlatched by the switching arm when the feed of the trigger lever is blocked in the direction of the ready position.
- the Aufgleitschräge is advantageously still used as a force deflector to advance the release slide in the manual adjustment of the switching arm in its closed position from the release position in the direction of the ready position.
- the manual actuation mechanism comprises in an expedient embodiment, a pivot lever on which a coupling rod is mounted eccentrically.
- the coupling rod contributes to a free end of the driver.
- the pivoting lever is expediently, in particular biased by a torsion spring, in the direction of a first pivot position corresponding to the open position of the switching arm, so that the pivoting lever always returns to its first pivoting position by itself in the unloaded state.
- the pivot lever In a closed position of the switching arm corresponding second pivot position, however, the pivot lever is preferably locked by the latching of the driver with the switch arm located in the closed position.
- the switching arm and the manual control device are coordinated such that upon return of the switching arm in the open position and the pivot lever in the first pivot position of the driver automatically latched to the switching arm, so that the switching arm by means of the manual operation without further action is immediately adjustable again.
- the coupling rod is expediently pressed in the first pivot position by a spring against the switching arm.
- this spring is formed in particular by a molded integrally on the pivot lever spring tab.
- the circuit breaker comprises a short-circuit release, which is designed to actuate the release slide in the event of a short circuit as a trigger condition.
- the short-circuit release comprises a magnetic coil, a magnetic yoke as well a magnet armature which is connected to a provided for advancing the trigger slide plunger.
- the magnet coil is designed with a substantially rectangular coil cross-section.
- a magnetic core of the coil is expediently formed from two adjoining core disks of ferromagnetic material.
- Each of these core disks is in this case provided with a longitudinal groove, wherein the longitudinal grooves of the adjacent core disks complement one another for receiving the plunger sufficiently large passage opening.
- the circuit breaker preferably comprises an overload release.
- the overload release is essentially formed by a bimetallic strip, which heats up as a result of the flow of current through the circuit breaker and thereby deformed such that it actuates the trigger slide in case of overload.
- a projection on the release slide is provided in a preferred embodiment of the invention.
- This attack is in particular formed by a relative to the trigger slide rotatable eccentric.
- This eccentric is used to adjust or adjustment of a Kochlastauslettesschwelle for the overload release by by rotation of the eccentric relative to the trigger slide the distance which is formed (in particular in the ready position of the trigger slide) between the attack or eccentric and the bimetallic strip is varied.
- the eccentric can be locked in particular on the release slide in several defined rotational positions.
- the trigger slider is here provided in a structurally simple and expedient embodiment, in particular with a holder for mounting the eccentric having a trained in the manner of a ring gear catch, in turn, a projection (or latching tooth) of the eccentric engages.
- the above-described adjustment option for the overload release can be advantageously used not only in the case of the above-described circuit breaker, but also generally in the case of a circuit breaker with a bimetallic release.
- the circuit breaker according to the invention is further preferably equipped with a quenching device for particularly rapid deletion of a switching arc.
- the extinguishing device comprises an extinguishing chamber, which has an inlet and an outlet for the arc and approximately vertical side walls.
- the extinguishing device further comprises two rails, which serve to guide the switching arc of the contacts in the quenching chamber.
- a first track connects the fixed contact with a first side wall of the quenching chamber.
- the second running rail connects a stop surface on which the moving contact rests in the open position of the switching arm, with the second side wall of the quenching chamber.
- the second running rail is contacted with a power supply, via which the second running rail is short-circuited to the moving contact, so that the moving contact and the second running rail are always at the same electrical potential.
- the second track is advantageously contacted with the power supply, that the contact point between the rail and power supply - seen from the moving contact in the direction of the contact lever - behind the abutment surface of the switching arm, or that in other words, the stop surface of the switching arm on the second track between the contact point of this track with the power supply and the quenching chamber is located.
- an induction effect caused by the current path remains, due to which the arc due to the electrodynamic interaction in the direction of the quenching chamber is received in the commutation process according to the sign, so that the arc run is not slowed down during commutation.
- the second track and the power supply from the same sheet metal strip are formed, the track rail in the manner of a tab cut centrally from this sheet metal strip and bent out.
- the extinguishing device is optimized in a preferred embodiment in that a switching arc is quickly and effectively "sucked" into the quenching chamber without passing through the quenching chamber and backfiring at the outlet or raking off at the quenching chamber and backfiring at its inlet achieved balanced dam of the outlet of the quenching chamber with respect to the inlet, which is suitably selected in a range of about 35% to 50%, preferably about 40% to 45% and in particular about 42%
- a suitable dam is achieved, in particular, by forming a separating web at the outlet of the extinguishing chamber, which essentially extends from the side wall to the side wall of the extinguishing chamber, thereby dividing the outlet of the extinguishing chamber into two approximately equal partial surfaces
- the divider is doing sth a aligned perpendicular to the quenching plates of a quenching sheet packet of the quenching chamber and extends beyond the outlet of the quenching chamber.
- the separating web divides the gas stream leaving
- At least one guide plate is preferably arranged at the outlet of the extinguishing chamber through which the gas flow leaving the extinguishing chamber is divided and deflected in the direction of a housing opening.
- the baffle or the baffles significantly improve the pressure and flow conditions at the exit of the quenching chamber and thus the risk of a flashback of the arc before the outlet or inlet of the Reduce the extinguishing chamber further.
- a plurality of baffles are provided over the regions of the outlet (ie from side wall to side wall) and optionally on both sides of the separating web.
- the or each baffle is made in particular of plastic and is formed in a production-technically advantageous variant of the invention to the inside of the housing.
- an arc run-up space formed between the rails is delimited by a cover plate at least towards a housing end face.
- the or each cover plate is in turn arranged at a distance from the housing, so that between the cover plate and the housing, a channel is formed, which is guided approximately parallel to the arc run space.
- This embodiment of the invention is based on the finding that, as it travels along the rails, the arc pushes a pressure wave ahead of it by sudden air heating, which can hinder the inlet of the arc into the quenching chamber, while on the other hand a negative pressure develops in the area of the contacts. under certain circumstances, the arc can suck back undesirably in the contact area. This problem is avoided by the channel running beyond the or each cover plate, especially as this channel can be used to balance the pressure during the arc run.
- the or each cover plate is preferably designed such that the limited by this cover plate pressure equalization channel is open on the one hand to the inlet of the quenching chamber and on the other hand to the contacts facing the end of the arc run space.
- the first rail is preferably integral with the yoke of the short-circuit release, ie as part of the same or with this one piece mechanically coherent executed.
- the magnetic yoke is expediently interrupted in a region adjacent to the outlet of the quenching chamber by a gap.
- Another constructive simplification of the circuit breaker is preferably achieved in that the second rail or the power supply connected thereto is used as a carrier for the bimetallic strip of the overload release.
- extinguishing device described above individually or in any combination, are already regarded as inventive in their own right.
- the extinguishing device described above interacts synergistically with the switching mechanism described above in the sense of a particularly fast switching operation, but can also be used advantageously with at least partial protection of its advantages in other circuit breakers.
- this includes a signal relay which can be actuated by means of the trip slider to indicate its position, and thus the switching state of the circuit breaker.
- a blind cover is also optionally provided, which is modular in the manner of a modular system instead of the coupling piece on this outer housing front side placed.
- each circuit breaker module To connect an electrical conductor, the or each circuit breaker module to a feed terminal, which is electrically connected in the module interior with the fixed contact.
- the feed terminal of each circuit breaker module preferably has a coupling contact, by means of which a plurality of adjacent circuit breaker modules of a multi-pole circuit breaker arrangement can be connected in parallel by means of a busbar. In this way, eliminates the need to wire each circuit breaker module input side separately. Rather, all circuit breaker modules are supplied in the manner of a power distributor via a common power supply line.
- each circuit breaker module further comprises two signal terminals for connecting conductors that are electrically connected to the signal module module inside the module. Also this signal Conclusions, a coupling contact is expediently connected in parallel, via which the signal terminals of various circuit breaker modules are electrically connected.
- the or each coupling contact is arranged in a housing slot, which spans the entire housing width, so that for bridging the coupling contacts of adjacent circuit breaker modules designed as a profile component busbar in the housing slots can be inserted.
- the or each housing slot in terms of its dimensioning, i. its opening side and depth dimensioned such that the coupling contact is finger-safe received in the housing.
- the circuit breaker preferably further comprises a terminating strip of insulating material which can be inserted into the housing slot in alignment with each housing end face and, in the inserted state, the housing slot to this end face concludes.
- the or each housing slot on each housing front side on a guide web which preferably at least a portion of the front edge of the housing slot rotates, but at least protrudes from both slot walls in the space recessed by the housing slot space.
- This guide web serves, on the one hand, to fix it in the inserted state on the housing by positive engagement in a corresponding guide groove of the end strip.

- the functional parts of the circuit breaker module 2 are essentially divided into a switching mechanism 40 and an extinguishing device 41.
- the switching mechanism 40 can in turn be subdivided into three functional subgroups, namely a manual operating mechanism 42, a switching arm 43 and a triggering mechanism 44.
- the manual operation mechanism 42 is essentially formed by the pivoting lever 7 and a coupling rod 45, the free end of which is bent approximately at right angles to form a driver 46.

- the running rail 66 is formed together with a power supply 67 as einst ⁇ ckig contiguous sheet metal part, wherein the power supply 67 simultaneously forms a support for the bimetallic strip 54.
- the extinguishing device 41 further comprises two cover plates 68a and 68b and baffles 69, which are integrally formed on the inner wall of the housing 3.
- FIG. 7 also shows the feed terminal 24 designed as a screw terminal contact, which is connected in parallel via a rigid busbar 70 to the coupling contact 29 and the load terminal 26, likewise designed as a screw terminal connection.
- the circuit breaker module 2 further comprises a signal contact device, which is essentially formed by a signal relay 71 which is connected to the signal connections 28a and 28b and the respectively connected coupling contacts 31a and 31b.
- the housing 3 consists of two parts, namely a housing shell 73 and a housing cover 74 which can be placed thereon.
- the housing shell 73 and the housing cover 74 are fixed captive in the assembled state by rivets 75 or screw to each other.
- FIG. 8 is a front view of the functional parts, as would result in a view through the housing cover 74 through the inserted into the housing shell 73 functional parts
- Fig. 9 shows the functional parts in a rear view, as they would result in a view through the bottom of the housing shell 73 therethrough.
- the housing shell 73 and the housing cover 74 are omitted in FIGS. 8 and 9 for reasons of clarity.
- the latch lever 49 of the switching arm 43 is pivotably mounted about a housing-fixed axis of rotation 80.
- the contact lever 48 is in turn articulated to a pivot 81 on the latch lever 49, so that the switching arm 43 has a certain flexibility in itself.
- the relative mobility of the contact lever 48 with respect of the pawl lever 49 is limited by a slot 82 at a rear end 83 of the contact lever 84, through which the rotation axis 80 passes.
- the free end of the contact lever 48 opposite the rear end 83 forms a moving contact 84, which interacts with a fixed contact 85 in order to switch a circuit.
- the fixed contact 85 is applied to an upper side of the magnetic yoke 59 at the base of the running rail 65 integrally connected thereto.
- FIGS. 8 and 9 show the circuit breaker module 2 in a closed state of the switching arm 43, in which the moving contact 84 forming end of the contact lever 48 abuts against the fixed contact 85.
- this closed state an electrically conductive connection is created between the feed terminal 24 or coupling contact 29 and the load terminal 26, via the busbar 70, the magnetic coil 57, the magnet yoke 59, the fixed contact 85, the contact lever 48 with the Bewegkon- tact 84, the bimetallic strip 54 and an adjoining busbar 86 leads.
- the (in Fig. 9 also only schematically indicated) tension spring 52 engages the contact lever 48 at a between the pivot 81 and the slot 82 (and thus also between the rotary joint 81 and the rotation axis 80) arranged on position.
- the opposite end of the tension spring 52 is re-mounted on the housing 3.
- the switching arm 43 is thus by the tension spring 52 in total in a rotational direction corresponding to a rotation of the switching arm 43 in the clockwise direction in the illustration of FIG. 8, in the illustration of FIG. 9, a rotation of the switching arm 43 in the counterclockwise direction in the direction of biased an open position.
- the contact lever 48 is biased relative to the latch lever 49 in the opposite direction of rotation, ie in the direction of the closed position.
- the switching arm 43 is held against the restoring force of the tension spring 52 by latching the pawl 51 with the driver 46 in the closed position.
- the position of the pawl arm 49 in this closed position is selected such that the switching arm 43 is "pushed through” to a certain extent during closing, that is, the contact lever 48 is clamped relative to the pawl lever 49.
- the pivoting lever 7 is pivotally mounted on the housing shell 73 between a first pivot position shown in FIG. 7 and a second pivot position shown in FIGS. 8 and 9 about a housing-fixed pivot axis 88, wherein - as Figs. 8 and 9 can be removed - second pivot position of the pivot lever 7 corresponds to the closed position of the switching arm 43.
- the coupling rod 45 is pivotable with a fixed end 89 and radially movable with respect to the pivot lever 7 in a radial guide 90 of the pivot lever 7.
- the fixed end 89 on the other hand guided in a slotted guide 91 which is integrally formed on the inner wall of the housing shell 73 and the housing cover 74 and in Figs. 8 and 9 only schematically indicated.
- the slotted guide 91 runs in the manner of a spiral segment on the pivot axis 88, wherein for each position of the pivot lever 7 between the first and the second pivot position, a crossing point of the linear guide 90 and the slide guide 91 exists, a position corresponding to this position of the pivot lever 7 position the fixed end 89 of the coupling rod 45 defined.
- the coupling rod 45 is guided mainly linearly by the interaction of the radial guide 90 with the slide guide 91 at a pivoting of the pivot lever 7.
- the pivoting lever 7 is biased by the torsion spring 47 in the direction of the first pivoting position, so that in the second pivoting position it is counter to the spring position. pressure of the torsion spring 47 is deflected.
- the slide guide 91 is designed such that in the second pivot position mediated via the coupling rod 45 operative connection between the driver 46 and the fixed end 89 above (ie on the handle 6 facing side) of the pivot axis 88, so that the pivot lever 7 through the latching of the driver 46 is held with the pawl 51 of the latching arm 43 against the restoring force of the torsion spring 47 in the second pivot position.
- the manual actuating mechanism 42 and the switching arm 43 are thus coupled to one another via the latching of the driver 46 with the pawl 51 in such a way that they stabilize against the respective restoring force of the tension spring 52 and the torsion spring 47 in the closed position or the second pivotal position.
- Core component of the release mechanism 42 is the trip slider 53 which is actuated by both the bit metal strip 54 of the overload release 55 and the plunger 61 of the short-circuit release 56, and the actuation of one of the triggers 55 or 56, the provision of the switching arm 43 from the closed position in the open position causes.
- the trip slider 53 influences this reset process in a twofold manner by first disengaging the switch arm 53 from the dog 46, thereby initiating the automatic reset process of the switch arm 43 under the action of the mainspring 52, and by causing the reset operation Switching arm 43 "pushes", so it puts a pulse pulse to overcome the inertia of the switching arm 43 during the recovery faster and thus to accelerate the switching process.
- FIGS. 10 to 13 For the case of short circuit, the tripping operation in FIGS. 10 to 13 is illustrated in the manner of snapshots.
- FIG. 10 shows an enlarged view of the switching arm 43 again in its closed position, in which the electrical connection between the feed connection 24 and the load connection 26 guided, inter alia, by the magnet coil 57 is closed.
- a short circuit in a circuit connected to the terminals 24 and 16 leads to a sudden increase of the current flowing through the magnetic coil 57 to a peak value, which in the case of the illustrated circuit breaker according to the mood can be up to about 6 kA.
- the strong increase in current causes a proportional increase in the magnetic field generated by the magnetic coil 57, as a result of which the armature 60 is attracted against the restoring force caused by the compression spring 62 against the core washers 58 arranged inside the magnet coil 57.
- Each of the core disks 58 is provided with a longitudinal groove.
- the core disks 58 are attached to each other in such a way that the longitudinal grooves complement each other to a passage in which the plunger 61 slidingly rests.
- the plunger 61 is connected to the magnet armature 60 and is advanced during its movement against the trigger slide 53. He strikes against a stop surface 92 of the trip slider 53 and raises the release slide 53 from the ready position shown in Fig. 9 with continued feed.
- the release slide 53 has a Entklinkungskontur 93.
- the Entklinkungskontur 93 is provided with a recess 94 into which the coupling rod 45 engages with the driver 46 so that the driver 46 is withdrawn from the pawl 51 of the blade lever 49 by the advance of the trigger slide 53.
- the trigger slide 53 is further provided with a projection which serves as a stop 95 for acting on the switching arm 43.
- This (first) stop 95 abuts against this at the same time or immediately after the unlatching of the switching arm 43 and accelerates the switching arm 43 in the direction of its opening position.
- the geometry of the trigger slide 53 is particularly dimensioned such that the stop 95 comes to rest on the switching arm 43 at a time when the switching arm 43 has not yet relaxed.
- the switching arm 43 is in turn designed such that the stop 95 abuts against the contact lever 48 (and not against the latch lever 49). Due to the friction of the contact lever 48 with the stop 95, the rotational mobility of the contact lever 48 is blocked.
- the trigger slide 53 is arranged in particular such that the stop 95 in the region of the rotary joint 81 strikes the switching arm 43, so that no torque is transmitted relative to the latch lever 49 by the stop 95 on the contact lever 48.
- the contact lever 48 projects beyond the latch lever 49 in the radial direction in the region of the rotary joint 81, so that it is ensured that the stop 95 strikes the contact lever 48.
- FIG. 13 shows the final state of the tripping operation, in which the moving contact 48 bears against a stop surface 97 which forms a projection of the second running rail 66 which is at a distance from the fixed contact 85 at a distance.
- the release slide 53 is lifted by the interaction of the second stop 96 with the switching arm 43 in a release position in which the Entklinkungskontur 93 of the trigger slide 53 flanking the pawl 51 of the switching arm 43 with a Aufgleitschräge 98.
- the driver 46 is unlatched with the pawl 51, and the pivot lever 7 is no longer held in the second pivot position and returns under the action of the torsion spring 47 in the first pivot position.
- There- in the driver 46 is pushed out of the recess 94 of the Entklinkungskontur 93 and slides the Aufgleitschräge 98 down until it locks behind the latch 51 again.
- the engagement of the driver 46 behind the pawl 51 is ensured by a spring tab 72 (Fig. 8), which is integrally molded on the pivot lever 7 and pushes the coupling rod 45 in the second pivot position of the pivot lever 7 against the Aufgleitschräge 93.
- the switching arm 43 is thereby again coupled to the manual operation mechanism 42 and can be reset by manual pivoting of the pivot lever 7 in the closed position shown in FIG.
- the release slide 53 is moved back to the ready position shown in FIG. 9, provided that the displacement of the trip slider 53 is no obstacle.
- the driver 46 slides on the Ausgleitschräge 98 upwards and is in turn lifted from the pawl 51.
- the shape of the metal strip, from which the power supply 67 and the running rail 66 are integrally formed, ensures that the induction effect of the current
- the running rail 66 is - as can be seen in particular from the combination of Figures 10 to 13 - cut from the power supply 67 such that the running rail 66 in the area of the stop surface 97 at the in his Opening position hereby applied contact lever 48 is guided along, and - viewed from the moving contact 84 along the contact lever 48 - passes only behind the moving contact 84 in the power supply 67.
- the magnetic yoke 59 into which the running rail 65 is integrated, is not closed in a circle around the magnetic coil 57. Rather, the magnet yoke 59 is interrupted on a bottom side facing the magnet armature 60 by a narrow air gap 99 (FIGS. 8 and 9).
- the air gap 99 is dimensioned such that it does not significantly affect the magnetic flux within the magnetic yoke 59, but effectively prevents current flow over the gap gap. Rather, within the magnetic yoke 59, a current path directed by an output 100 (FIG.
- the arc enters the quenching chamber 63 and is divided by the quenching plates 64 into a number of partial arcs.
- the quenching plates 64 favor the extinguishing of the arc in a conventional manner by multiplying the total voltage across the entire arc gap and the arc is cooled.
- the extinguishing device 41 is provided with an air compensation system whose function in Fig. 14 is schematically illustrated.
- FIG. 14 shows the extinguishing device 41 in a schematic section through the extinguishing chamber 63 and the arc running space 101 along a section line which coincides approximately with the running rail 66.
- the arc run space 101 is closed toward both end faces by the cover plates 68a and 68b.
- Each cover plate 68a, 68b is in turn arranged at a distance from the adjacent wall of the housing 3, so that between the cover plates 68a, 68b and the housing 3 on both sides of the arc run space 101 and parallel to this ever a pressure equalization channel 103a and 103b is formed.
- Each pressure equalization channel 103a, 103b corresponds via a first opening 104 to an area of the arc run area 101 adjacent to the inlet 102 and to a second opening 105, which is embedded in the respective cover plate 68a, 68b and having one Contacts 84,85 surrounding area of the arc run space 101.
- P pressure wave occurs in the pressure equalization channels 103 a, 103 b to a backflow R, reduced by the overpressure at the inlet of the quenching chamber 63 and the emergence of a Negative pressure in the region of the contacts 84 and 85 is avoided.
- the quenching chamber 63 has an outlet 106 (FIG. 14).
- the dam of this outlet 106 i. the ratio of the free cross-sectional area of the outlet 106 to the free cross-sectional area of the inlet 102 is about 42%.
- This cross-sectional constriction has proven to be particularly suitable for slowing down the propagation of the arc in the quenching chamber 63, in order to avoid that the arc simply passes through the quenching chamber 63 and reignites at the outlet 106, in order to keep the quenching chamber sufficiently permeable on the other hand that the arc quickly enters the quenching chamber 63.
- the dam is essentially effected by a separating web 107 of insulating material, which is integrally formed on the outlet 106 of the quenching chamber 63 and protrudes therefrom in the propagation direction P.
- This separating web 107 furthermore effects a separation of the gas stream leaving the quenching chamber 63 into two partial streams and thus further impedes a flashback of the electric arc.
- a further subdivision into (schematically indicated) substreams T1 to T8 is experienced by the gas flow through the baffles 69 formed on the housing 3, of which three in each case flank the separating web 107 on both sides.
- the baffles 69 also redirect the partial flows T1 to T8 in the direction of the side surface 22b (ie, approximately toward the viewer in the illustration of FIG. 14), thus avoiding pressure accumulation at the outlet 106 of the quenching chamber 63, which promotes the flashback of the arc would.
- the release slider 53 in this case is not the ram 61 of the short-circuit release 56, but of the bimetallic strip 54 of the overload release 55, which heats up due to the overload current and thereby deflects such that its free end 110 (FIG. 15) abuts against a projection of the release slider 53, which is referred to as attack 111 below.
- the attack 11 is formed in two parts and comprises an integrally formed on the trigger slide 53 bracket 112 (Fig. 15) on which an eccentric 113 (Fig. 16) is rotatably mounted.
- the holder 112 is in this case provided with a toothed rim 114 (FIG. 15) which, in cooperation with a corresponding latching tooth 115 (FIG. 16) of the eccentric 113, makes it possible to lock the eccentric 113 in a plurality of defined rotational positions relative to the holder 112.
- the distance which the attack 111 assumes in the ready position of the trigger slide 53 to the free end 110 of the bimetallic strip 54 can be varied (this effect is illustrated in FIG. 16 by two rotational positions, FIG. in which the eccentric 113 is shown by way of example by solid or dashed lines, illustrates).
- the trigger slide 53 further comprises a shaper 116 (FIG. 9).
- the boom 116 is configured to actuate the signal relay 71 when the trip slider 53 is in the standby position. As can be seen from the combination of Figures 10 to 13, the boom 116 releases the signal relay 71 in its movement into the release position. On the switching state of the signal relay 71 can thus be queried the position of the trip slider 53, and consequently the state of the trigger mechanism 44.
- FIGS 17 and 18 show two circuit breaker modules 2 of the type described above, which are assembled to form a two-pole design of the circuit breaker front 1.
- a coupling piece 120 is inserted between the two circuit breaker modules 2.
- the coupling piece 120 comprises a body 121, each with two fixing projections 122.
- the fixing projections 122 are in corresponding receptacles 17 on the adjacent end faces 14a and 14b of the respective adjacent Circuit breaker module 2 snap-in, so that over the coupling piece 120 and the juxtaposed circuit breaker modules 2 are mechanically fixed together.
- a handle coupling 123 and on the other hand a triggering coupling 124 is formed on this body 121 on the one hand.
- the handle coupling 123 is molded via a film hinge 125 pivotally mounted on the body 121 and engages in an illustrated in Fig. 18 mounting state on both sides in the handles 6 of the adjacent circuit breaker modules 2, so that the pivot lever 7 of this circuit breaker modules 2 in always aligned pivot position with each other are coupled.
- the release coupling 124 is flexibly molded onto the body 121 via a spring arm 126 bent in a meandering manner and engages on both sides through the engagement opening 18 of the respectively adjacent housing wall on a coupling projection 127 (FIGS. 8 to 10) of the release slider 53 of the respective circuit breaker module 2 to.
- the trip slider 53 of both circuit breaker modules 2 are coupled such that by triggering a circuit breaker module 2, the respective other circuit breaker module 2 is triggered.
- the coupling piece 120 thus achieves both a mechanical fixation of the circuit breaker modules 2 and a dynamic coupling of both the manual actuation mechanism 42 and the actuation mechanism 44 of both circuit breaker modules 2 by means of an integral component
- circuit breaker modules 2 are additionally connected to one another by brackets 128 on the side surfaces 22a, 22b and the back 8.
- the respective outer end faces 14a, 14b of the circuit breaker modules 2 are each covered by a blind cover 15a (or 15b). Further front covers 129 close off the area of the front side 4 between the circuit breaker modules 2 arranged around the pivot lever 7.
- Figures 19 to 21 show a five-pole design of the circuit breaker 1, in which this is connected in the manner of a power distributor.
- a power distributor is usually example provided a common power supply, are branched off from the branch lines to supply a pole number corresponding number of load circuits via a respective separate circuit breaker module 2.
- a dynamic coupling of the individual circuit breaker modules 2 is not desirable in a power distribution in the rule.
- the circuit breaker modules 2 are therefore shown in FIG. 19 (in contrast to the embodiment of the circuit breaker 1 described above) without interposed coupling pieces 120 juxtaposed.
- a busbar 130 which extends as a profile part substantially over the entire width of the juxtaposed circuit breaker modules 2, inserted into the aligned housing slots 30 so that the coupling contacts 29 of the circuit breaker modules 2 are short-circuited via the busbar 130.
- the connection of the circuit breaker modules 2 to an external supply line is carried out as intended via the feed terminal 24 of a circuit breaker module 2.
- the bus bar 130 is provided with a back cover 131 of insulating material. In the inserted state, only this back cover 131 protrudes on the side surface 22a and closes the housing slot 30 to this side surface 22a in a contact-proof manner (FIGS. 20, 21). To the outer end faces 14a, 14b of
- Circuit breaker modules 2 the busbar 130 is covered by end strips 132
- Each end strip 132 is provided with a peripheral circumferential guide groove 133. With this guide groove 133 of the end strip 132 is pushed onto a guide web 134 which rotates the edge of the housing slot 30 at each end face 14a, 14b.
