Definitions

  • the invention relates to a circuit breaker having a first switchgear area, in which a quenching chamber device and a contact slide device are arranged with movable contact pieces, which are positioned opposite to Festschalt Georgiaen, and a second switchgear area, in which a trip group of a short-circuit release and an overload release are arranged.
  • Circuit-breakers in particular low-voltage circuit breakers, are electromagnetic self-switches in the event of a short circuit. Their operation corresponds in principle to the operation of circuit breakers. They are usually equipped with a thermal and a magnetic release and thus have the same structural elements as circuit breakers. However, they are designed for larger rated currents, in addition, the triggers of circuit breakers, unlike the circuit breaker, sometimes separately adjustable. In the low voltage range, the switches are also used as motor protection switches.
  • the task of the circuit breaker is to protect downstream systems, in particular three-phase motors against damage due to overload or short circuit.
  • the circuit breaker should switch off these currents in conjunction with the network protection devices. If there is gas between the two poles, it will be ionized by the flashover with a correspondingly high voltage difference between the poles, forming a self-sustaining gas discharge, also known as an arc. This plasma not only continues to conduct power, but also reduces the life of the device, and at high currents it can even destroy the switch.
  • disconnectors are circuit breakers designed so that the arcing occurring when opening the switch contacts deleted quickly and without damaging the switch and thus the flow of current is interrupted.
  • a particular problem with circuit breakers with high switching capacity, in particular up to 100 kA at rated currents up to 80 A is that with such large short circuits, the load on the chamber walls, that is, especially on the lower part of the circuit breaker due to the large pressure development very high is.
  • the housing walls may bend outwards in such tripping operations or lead to a tear in the upper part of the circuit breaker. In the worst case, parts of the shell are broken off.
  • the EP 0 903 762 A2 describes a circuit breaker with a first switchgear area, in which a quenching chamber device and a contact slide device with movable contact pieces are arranged, which are positioned opposite to Festschalt Georgian and a second switchgear area, in which a trigger assembly of a short-circuit release and an overload release are arranged, the Festschalt thoroughlye on at least one stabilizing element are attached.
  • this electrical circuit breaker is provided to glue the preassembled contact and connection parts of the trip unit in the housing or a housing part, so that the attachment of these preassembled contact and connection parts in the housing takes place without additional connection.
  • These are adhesive pockets on the housing present, which are filled with adhesive material. In this adhesive pockets protrude pins of the trip unit, which are glued in the adhesive pockets.
  • the permanent adhesive connection keeps the bimetallic position stable. Thermal and mechanical stresses are significantly reduced by the use of the adhesive and by bonding, while the heat and dimensional stability is ensured.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a circuit breaker, which has stable housing walls even at high switching performance and thereby offers easy installation handling.
  • this object is achieved by a circuit breaker having a first switching device area, in which a quenching chamber device and a contact slide device are arranged with movable contact pieces, which are positioned opposite to Festschalt Georgiaen, and a second switching device area in which a trip group of a short-circuit release and an overload release are arranged ,
  • the invention is characterized in that the fixed contact pieces are mounted on at least one of the housing stabilization in the event of triggering serving stabilization element.
  • the housing walls of the switching chambers of the circuit breaker are kept at a distance by the stabilizing element according to the invention.
  • the stabilizing element is designed as a bolt and is screwed in the last assembly step to the first switching device area.
  • opposite outer walls of the circuit breaker support each other in the event of a short circuit.
  • the stabilizing element according to the invention is designed such that it is fitted into the intermediate walls of the first and second switchgear area in order to ensure the required clearances and creepage distances. As a result, the intermediate walls are stabilized at the same time.
  • the stabilization elements, the bolts are plugged or clipped onto the fixed contact pieces and the release assembly. Thereafter, the assembly takes place in the second switching device area. Corresponding counter contours ensure a secure hold. The second switching device area is then placed on the first switching device area.
  • the stabilizing elements put here in corresponding fixation structures. At the same time, these fixing structures serve to maintain air and creepage distances. Finally, the stabilizing elements, the bolts, are fixed from the outside on both sides with a screw to the first switching device area.
  • the stabilizing element according to the invention is preferably made of plastic, in particular of PA66.
  • the stabilizing element has three juxtaposed partial regions. Each subregion comprises two mutually parallel aligned guide surfaces, on each of which two oppositely arranged lugs are located.
  • fixing structures are provided in each case between the subregions of the stabilizing element according to the invention.
  • the fixing structures are U-shaped with two parallel legs and a leg connecting the transition region. These fixation structures engage in housing structures of the circuit breaker and ensure that the housing walls are fixed in position stable in the event of tripping.
  • the stabilizing element according to the invention in particular for a circuit breaker, is supported on the intermediate and outer walls of the lower part.
  • the wall deflection of the lower part and thus also of the upper part is thereby reduced.
  • it is provided to fix the switching pieces on the stabilizing element, which is then in turn fitted in the upper and lower part.
  • the assembly is unambiguous and assemblies oriented. It is also advantageous that the convective cooling channel is made possible for cooling the flow path. Although the order of assembly must be changed, however, the walls of the lower part are advantageously aligned with one another by the impressions of the stabilizing element.
  • the height dimension of the fixed switching pieces is adjusted by the clamping acting stabilizing element with great accuracy.
  • the two legs of the Festschalt capitat.
  • the stabilizing element according to the invention is preferably made of plastic, in particular PA66.
  • the assembly envisages clipping on the stabilizing elements, the Festschalt publishede and the trigger assembly. Then the assembly takes place in the upper part. Corresponding counter contours ensure a secure hold. The entire upper part is then placed on the lower part.
  • the two stabilizing elements lie here in corresponding counter contours of the housing. These serve at the same time to maintain the clearances and creepage distances.
  • the stabilizing elements are then fixed from the outside on both sides, preferably with a screw to the lower part.
