Definitions

  • the invention relates to a series of multi-pole circuit breaker different sizes different nominal current capacity with an undervoltage or shunt trip, hereinafter referred to as a U / A trigger.
  • circuit breakers can be equipped with a U / A release, in addition to thermomagnetic releases, for example according to document EP 619590 B1 ,
  • An undervoltage release is an electromagnet which actuates the tripping mechanism of the circuit breaker when the power is interrupted. In the current-carrying state, the system is in rest position. The control takes place with a normally closed contact. Undervoltage release trigger in case of power failure, the switch to z. B. to prevent the automatic restart of engines.
  • a shunt release is an electromagnet that actuates the tripping mechanism of the circuit breaker when a voltage is applied. When de-energized, the system is at rest. The activation takes place with a closing contact. Shunt releases are used for remote release when z. B. a voltage interruption should not lead to automatic shutdown.
  • the circuit breaker can not be switched on.
  • the U / A release prematurely releases before touching the main contacts of the circuit breaker.
  • the disadvantage is that for circuit breaker different nominal current capacity because of the increasing size with increasing size of the required tripping energy differently designed U / A triggers must be used.
  • the required number of types of U / A triggers requires a lot of effort for the large number of individual parts and their logistical integration into the manufacturing process of the U / A triggers.
  • U / A trigger in which an energy storage is integrated.
  • the energy storage consists of a latch lever, a release lever and a tension spring.
  • thermal release for power switching devices known.
  • the thermal release contains in the main flow paths bimetallic strip, which bend in overcurrent and act on a trip bridge, adjusting means for setting the trigger conditions and a force storage, which consists of a latch lever and a clamping lever, which can be mutually braced by means of a tension spring.
  • the tripping bridge is displaced and pivots the ratchet lever out of the engagement area with the clamping lever, causing it to move under the influence of the tension spring, which triggers the switchgear of the power switchgear, which results in opening of the main contacts of the power switchgear ,
  • the power switching device When resetting the power switching device from the tripped state acts connected to the switching mechanism clamping element against the force of the tension spring on the clamping lever and transferred the energy storage again in the clamped state.
  • the invention has for its object to reduce the design and manufacturing effort in terms of the use of U / A triggers in a circuit breaker series.
  • the series is at least one size higher nominal current capacity equipped with a force storage consisting of a release lever, a pawl lever and a tensioned tension spring between the two, its release lever to latch with the ratchet lever from the latch when reset from the tripped condition is acted upon against the force of the tension spring, that at least one equipped with energy storage size on the one hand, both the thermal release, the magnetic release and the U / A trigger with the latch lever Relax the energy accumulator in operative connection and on the other hand, the release lever with the switching mechanism triggering operatively connected and that in the at least one equipped with energy storage size instead of the effective in the other sizes first release element egg n associated with the switching lock second release element is provided with the U / A trigger for releasing the same, wherein the effective before closing the main contacts release position of the second release element with respect to the release position of the first release element is leading to a greater extent, all circuit breakers of the series
  • This U / A trip unit is designed so that its tripping energy is sufficient to transfer the non-powered circuit-breaker of the series to the tripped state.
  • the tripping energy of this U / A trigger in conjunction with the energy accumulator is in turn sufficient for triggering this circuit breaker.
  • the inventive series multi-pole circuit breaker is the cost of manufacturing, storage and assembly the parts of the integrated U / A release significantly reduced. The effort for the energy storage is irrelevant, since such is usually provided in the sizes higher rated current capacity for the thermal tripping.
  • Fig. 1 shows a series of three-pole circuit breakers consisting of three sizes 1, 2 and 3 of different nominal current capacity. Of the three sizes 1, 2 and 3, the small size 1 has the lowest nominal current capacity, the medium size 2 the medium and the large size 3 the highest rated current capacity. Each size 1, 2 and 3 is surrounded by a switch housing 4, 5 and 6 of insulating molding material from the frontally a control knob 7, 8 and 9 protrudes, with which the main contacts of the circuit breaker can be closed and opened via a switching mechanism , At the respective switch housing 4, 5 and 6, connections for three main conductors are accessible from above and from below. In contrast to the FIGS. 3 to 8 are the sizes 1, 2 and 3 in Fig. 1 represented in a natural scale ratio.
  • Each of the three sizes 1, 2 and 3 is optionally equipped with a U / A release 10 of the same design, which can be designed as an undervoltage release or as a shunt release.
  • the U / A trigger 10 is inserted into a receiving space 11 accessible from the front side of the switch housing 4, 5 or 6 and connected to control lines 12 routed to the outside.
  • the U / A trigger 10 of the same type is in Fig. 2 shown on an enlarged scale.
  • the U / A trigger 10 is surrounded by a trigger housing 14 made of insulating molding material. From the trigger housing 14 reaches firstly the outer end of a connected to the armature of the U / A trigger 10 release plunger 16 and on the other hand, the actuating surface 19 of a release lever. If, upon the occurrence of a trip condition, the U / A trigger transitions from its idle state to the trip state, the movement of the trigger plunger 16 causes the latch to transition to the tripped state. The main contacts of the circuit breaker are forced open. Before switching the circuit breaker back on, the switch lock must be reset using the control buttons 7, 8 or 9.
  • the release lever holds the Trigger plunger 16 and thus the armature while in the rest position until the circuit breaker releases the armature of the U / A trigger 10 via the release lever in the course of switching on the circuit breaker, so that in the event of a trigger condition (undervoltage or working current), the release plunger 16 can move from the rest position.
  • FIGS. 3 to 5 of the series according to the invention described the size 1 with low Nennstromtriess.
  • the switching mechanism 24 connected via its pivoting lever 22 to the control knob 7 causes the closing and opening of the main contacts, of which in Fig. 3 a fixed contact 26 and a movable contact 28 moving in a contact space 32 equipped with arc-quenching plates 30 can be seen from an outer switching pole.
  • Fig. 4 shows how in the idle state of the U / A trigger 10 of the trigger plunger 16 and the magnet armature 17 connected thereto is held on the release lever 20 in its rest position.
  • the release lever 20 mounted in the trigger housing 14 and designed as a two-sided lever is acted upon by a release tension spring 18 which is fixed on one side in the trigger housing 14 (in the illustration of FIG Fig. 3 clockwise and in the representation of Fig. 4 counterclockwise).
  • a first release member 34 is attached on the pivot lever 22 on the pivot lever 22, a first release member 34 is attached.
  • the pivot lever 22 is supported in the switch lock 24 in a pivot bearing 36 ( Fig. 5 ).
  • a pivot bearing 36 Fig. 5
  • the switch-on movement of the pivot lever 22 reaches a designated by the reference numeral 38 release angle and shortly thereafter its designated by the reference numeral 40 tilt angle at which the switching mechanism 24 can tip over to close the main contacts.
  • the first release element 34 Upon reaching the release angle 38 of the pivoting lever 22, the first release element 34 lays against the actuating surface 19 of the U / A trigger 10 and starts leading the release lever 20 against the spring force of the trigger tension spring 18 from the trigger plunger 16, before closing the main contacts.
  • the release lever 20 according to Fig. 3 counterclockwise and according to Fig. 4 is pivoted clockwise. As a result, the armature 17 is released, so that in the event of a trigger situation leading the closing of the main contacts
  • Magnetic armature 17 and trip rod 16 can move from its rest position (according to Fig. 3 to the right and according to Fig. 4 to the left). In the absence of a trigger situation, however, remain the armature 17 and the trigger plunger 16 in its rest position.
  • the release plunger 16 strikes a lock pawl 42 latchable with the latching mechanism 24. With its rotary movement, the latch pawl 42 releases from the latching mechanism 24, so that it switches over to the tripped state before the main contacts are closed.
  • a thermal release with a bimetallic strip 48 and a magnetic release with a hinged armature 50 are provided, which also act triggering in the event of an overload or a short circuit.
  • the size 2 average rated current capacity also has on the size of 1 described and cooperating functional elements and can be equipped with the U / A trigger 10 of the type described above. Therefore does not need to be discussed in detail on the size 2.
  • the size 3 has the following details: a mounted in the switch housing 6 switching mechanism 25 with a connected to the control knob 9 and mounted in a pivot bearing 37 pivot lever 23; Farther fixed contacts 27, movable contacts 29, arc extinguishing plates 31 in each case a contact space 33; furthermore, a lock pawl 43 latchable with the switch lock 25, and furthermore thermal releases with bimetallic strips 49 and magnetic releases with hinged anchors 51 Fig. 6 and Fig. 7 For reasons of better illustration, not all bimetallic strips 49 and hinged anchors 51 of all three poles can be seen or illustrated.
  • This energy accumulator 52 consists of a switch housing 6 with a latch lever 56 pivotally mounted with its pawl lever axis 54, also in the switch housing 6 with a tripping lever 60 pivotally mounted with its trigger lever axis 58 and a tension spring 62 in the form of a spiral compression spring, under the action of which pawl lever 56 and Release lever 60 are held in mutual tensioned state.

  • the release lever 60 releases from the tension with the pawl lever 56 and is under the action of the relaxing tension spring 62 in the illustration after Fig. 6 clockwise and after Fig. 7 pivoted counterclockwise.
  • the release lever 60 hits due to the relaxing tension spring 62 with sufficient force on the lock pawl 43 of the switching mechanism 25 and brings this to trigger.
  • an intermediate lever 67 is further mounted between the U / A trigger 10 and the latch lever 56.
  • the U / A trigger 10 responds to a trigger situation, its trigger plunger 16 strikes the free end of the intermediate lever 67 and pivots it in accordance with Fig. 7 in a clockwise direction, so that the intermediate lever 67 meets the pawl lever 56.
  • the energy accumulator 52 is relaxed and the switching mechanism 25 is triggered.
  • the switching mechanism 25 size 3 requires higher forces to trigger than the switching mechanism of sizes 1 and 2. These higher forces can be used by the Bimetallic strip 49 and hinged anchors 51 and provided for the entire series U / A trigger 10 are not applied by itself.
  • the interposition of the force accumulator 52 between the described trigger and the pawl 43 allows taking advantage of the stored force of the relaxing tension spring 62, sufficiently high forces to trigger the switching mechanism 25 of the series 3 available. It should be emphasized as a particular advantage that for all series 1, 2 and 3 of the U / A trigger 10 of the same type and size is used.
  • the second release member 35 Upon reaching the release angle 39 of the pivoting lever 23, the second release member 35 lays against the actuating surface 19 of the U / A trigger 10 and starts leading the closing lever 18 against the spring force of the trigger pull spring 18 from the trigger plunger 16, before the main contacts are closed.
