Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a control device for an automatic reset apparatus.
  • the protection device Upon detecting the presence of the fault current, the protection device releases the line, thus interrupting the power supply to the load or loads arranged downstream.
  • the protection device After intervention, and once the correct operating conditions for the system have been restored, the protection device must be reset.
  • Apparatuses have been developed that allow to automatically reset a protection device after its release, after checking the correct operation of the system.
  • EP-1569314 discloses a method for detecting ground isolation faults.
  • This measurement is performed only following the automatic opening due to a fault of the associated protection device.
  • the current is generated by the automatic reset device by means of an electronic control circuit, supplying power to the downstream circuit by means of a single-phase isolating transformer with an extremely low safety voltage.
  • the value of the circulating current depends of course on the value of the impedance of the downstream circuit.
  • EP1237172 discloses a selective tripping apparatus having an electromagnetic short circuit trigger per main current path with a spring loaded magnet armature in contact with a common setting element at rest and attracted by a magnet yoke for a short circuit, thereby acting on the latching device via a common mechanical transfer element to trip the actuating mechanism.
  • GB538109 discloses an improved solenoid adapted for electro-magnetic operation of motor protective switches, although being applicable also for use as relays and so on.
  • the aim of the present invention is to provide a control device which, applied to an automatic reset apparatus, overcomes the drawbacks of the cited prior art.
  • an object of the invention is to provide a device which, associated with a protection device of a system, is capable of detecting faults due to overcurrents without incurring the problems and drawbacks of systems of the prior art.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide a device that is reliable, cheap and easy to manufacture.
  • Another object is to provide a device that allows to considerably reduce the detection times of an overcurrent fault, in practice being activated simultaneously with the opening of the protection device.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide a device that allows to perform a fine adjustment of the fault current threshold that causes the actuation of the device, discriminating any overload current values from short-circuit current values.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide a device that can be associated with any type of protection device and allows to detect any combination of faults in the circuit.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a device which, by virtue of its particular constructive features, is capable of giving the greatest assurances of reliability and safety in use.
  • control device generally designated by the reference numeral 1, comprises a casing constituted by a base 2 that is closed by a cover 3 with the interposition of an intermediate base 7.
  • the base 2, the cover 3 and the intermediate base 7 form a plurality of seats 4 for respective electromechanical units 5, that are associated with respective terminals 6.
  • a microswitch 8 is actuated by an actuation lever 9, which has a plurality of engagement seats 10 for respective transmission linkages 11.
  • Each transmission linkage 11 is associated with the respective electromechanical unit 5 by a crossbar 12, which connects the moving core 13 of the electromechanical unit to the linkage.
  • Each electromechanical unit 5 has a jacket 14, which is constituted by a folded metal plate and contains the movable core 13, a fixed core 15, a coil 16 and a spool 17.
  • the axial movement of the moving core 13 is contrasted by a contrast spring 18.
  • the preloading of the contrast spring 18 is adjustable by means of an adjustment screw 19 in order to adjust the magnetic threshold, as described hereinafter.
  • Each adjustment screw 19 can be accessed from the outside by means of a respective opening 21 provided in the base 2 and equipped with a plug 22.
  • the electromechanical assembly is connected to the respective terminal 6 by means of a double L-shaped terminal body 20.
  • the microswitch 8 is connected to a card 23 that is wired for connection to the outside.
  • each electromechanical unit utilizes the electromechanical field generated by the fault current.
  • Each unit comprises two main components: a first component, constituted by the two electromagnetic members, the fixed core 15 and the moving core 13, that are affected by the electromagnetic field generated by the fault current, and an actuation mechanism, which includes the lever 9, the linkages 11 and the crossbars 12.
  • the force generated by the electromagnetic field causes the movement of the movable electromagnetic member 13, which acts on the lever system that acts directly on the microswitch 8, which is functionally connected to the electronic control device of the reset apparatus, not visible in the figures.
  • the electronic control device detects the signal that originates from the microswitch 8 and immediately inhibits the automatic reclosure of the protection device associated with the reset apparatus.
  • Such a device in addition to being reliable, cheap and easy to manufacture, allows to considerably reduce the overcurrent fault detection times, because it becomes active simultaneously with the opening of the protection device.
  • the magnetic adjustment screw 19 allows to perform a fine adjustment of the fault current threshold that causes the activation of the device, discriminating any overload current values from short-circuit current values.
  • the electromechanical fault detection units 5 are also mutually independent and do not interfere, and therefore do not hinder each other, on the internal actuation mechanism.
  • the device which can be associated with any type of protection device (1P, 1P+N, 2P, 3P, 3P+N, 4P).
