Definitions

  • the invention relates to an electrical switching device, in particular in the form of a DIN rail mounted device.
  • An electrical switching device such as a circuit breaker, a mechanical, electronic or mechatronic switch or a relay, usually has a feed connection via which a mains-side and thus current-carrying power line can be connected, and a load connection, via which a load side outgoing power line can be connected ,
  • the patent EP-A-1220257 discloses an example of an electrical switching device in the form of a DIN rail mounted device in which the bus bars of the bus bar are inserted directly into the associated terminals.
  • a power distribution system is hereinafter generally referred to an electrical installation with several electrical load (current) circles, which is supplied from a common main power line current, and which are connected to a common current return.
  • switching devices are usually provided in particular at the branches where the load circuits branch off from the main power line.
  • the switching device serves to electrically isolate the associated load circuit in case of need from the main current supply line.
  • the feed terminal for switching devices which are designed as DIN rail devices, sometimes a coupling connection, which can be contacted with a multiple switching devices cross-current busbar.
  • the current feedback from the load circuits is usually carried out separately from the switching devices by means of separate circuit elements in such an installation.
  • switching devices are often provided with additional signal connections to which information about the switching state of the switching device can be tapped. However, these signal connections are regularly designed for low-power electrical currents and are neither intended nor suitable for current feedback from the load circuits.
  • the invention has for its object to provide an electrical switching device that allows a rational and simple construction of an electrical system, in particular a power distribution system.
  • the switching device comprises in a common housing a switching device, a feed terminal, a load terminal and a return port.
  • the switching device is optionally designed as a mechanical, electronic or mechatronic switch, but preferably as a circuit breaker and generally serves to interrupt an electrically conductive connection between the feed terminal and the load terminal.
  • the feed terminal serves to supply a current to the switching device.
  • the feed terminal is used to connect the switchgear to the main power supply line.
  • it comprises a first coupling contact, which is designed to make contact with a first current-carrying busbar.
  • the load terminal is intended to be connected to the supply line of an electrical load circuit.
  • the inventively additionally provided return connection is used to derive the load current from the load circuit to the current-carrying main power line. It comprises, on the one hand, a connection terminal to which the (load current-carrying) return line of the load circuit can be connected.
  • the return connection further comprises a second coupling contact, which is designed for contacting a second (current-carrying) current busbar.
  • the connection terminal and the coupling contact of the return connection are short-circuited inside the housing.
  • the return connection is preferably electrically insulated from all other electrical functional parts and conductors of the switching device.
  • the return connection preferably also serves as a ground connection for the electronic functional parts of the switching device.
  • the integration of the return connection in the switching device makes it possible in a particularly simple manner to build a power distribution system of a number of juxtaposed switching devices, in principle, only the corresponding with the coupling contacts current busbars are needed to implement the power distribution system except the switching devices themselves, in this case as strom réellede or stromabracede main power line act.
  • An electrical system, in particular a power distribution system can be realized in this way with very few circuit components, and thus on the one hand efficiently and on the other hand with low installation and space requirements.
  • the individual switching device can also be used in the context of a conventional single wiring. The switching device is thus extremely flexible in the context of an electrical system.
  • the switching device is designed in particular as a so-called DIN rail mounted device.
  • the housing has insofar on a rear side a profiled recording (Avemrastnut) for placing the switching device on a mounting rail.
  • the opposite side of this back side is referred to as (housing) front side and is facing an operator in the intended installation position of the switching device.
  • the profile direction of the receptacle (and the support rail corresponding to it) defines a row direction along which a plurality of switching devices in the assembled state can be lined up as intended.
  • the vertical to this row direction housing sides are referred to as (housing) end faces.
  • the other two sides of the housing are designated according to the intended installation position of the switching device as (housing) top side or (housing) underside.
  • At least one of the coupling contacts but preferably each coupling contact, arranged in a respective associated housing slot, which completely passes through the housing in the row direction. If several switching devices are strung together, the or each housing slot is aligned with the associated housing slots of the other switching devices. This allows the use of a power bus designed as a profile busbar, which is pressed into the aligned housing slots and thus shielded by the housing safe to touch.
  • each coupling contact and optionally the corresponding housing slot, is arranged on the housing front side, a particularly simple mounting of the busbars is possible, which is particularly easy to make even in confined spaces in a cabinet.
  • the power busbars are still visible through the arrangement of the coupling contacts on the front side of the housing even when the switching device is installed in a cabinet, which promotes the clarity of a stocked with the switching devices electrical system.
  • the load connection and the return connection to a common housing side, in particular the housing bottom are arranged so that both lines of the switching device associated load circuit are contacted on the same side of the housing with the switching device .
  • the feed connection is arranged in an advantageous development of this idea on a housing side opposite the housing side, in particular on the housing upper side. In this way, the current-supplying main power line and the load circuit are particularly clearly separated spatially.
  • the feed connection comprises, in addition to the coupling contact, a connection terminal connected in parallel for connecting a conductor.
  • a conductor here - in contrast to the rigid busbar - a flexible wire or stranded conductor designated.
  • the or each housing slot is expediently dimensioned such that it receives the associated coupling contact finger-safe. This makes it possible in particular to use the switching device in single wiring, ie without the use of a power bus, without having to cover the housing slot for security reasons.
  • the finger-safe design of the housing slot is particularly advantageous if the housing slot is arranged on the housing in the easily accessible housing front side.
  • the switching device additionally comprises at least one signal terminal, on which a switching signal can be tapped, which is characteristic of the switching state of the switching device, based on which therefore the switching state of the switching device can be determined.
  • a switching signal an (active) current or voltage signal can be output, e.g. is fed from the current flowing through the switching device current.
  • the switching signal is predetermined by the (passive) switching state of a signal switch, which is coupled to the switching state of the switching device. In this case, two signal connections connected to the signal switch are expediently provided.
  • the signal terminal or at least one of the signal terminals in appropriate embodiment of the switching device in turn comprises a coupling contact for connecting a signal busbar, said coupling contact is in turn preferably arranged in an associated housing slot, which completely penetrates the housing in the row direction.
  • this housing slot is preferably formed finger-safe, in particular in order to exclude a risk of injury to users in the event of a faulty current flashover on the signal circuit.
  • the or each coupling contact of the signal terminal, and optionally the associated housing slot are arranged on the housing front side.
  • the signal terminals unlike the feed terminal, the load terminal and the return terminal, are preferably designed for low power electrical currents that are harmless to the human body.
  • the housing preferably has a stepped profile that includes a comparatively narrow housing head and a housing base that is elongated (and thus overhanging the housing head).
