Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf elektrische Sicherungseinrichtungen, wie beispielsweise sogenannte NH-Sicherungsleisten, sowie auf ein Verfahren zum Montieren bzw. Herstellen von elektrischen Sicherungseinrichtungen.The invention relates to electrical safety devices, such as so-called NH fuse strips, as well as to a method for mounting or producing electrical safety devices.

Aus der deutschen Offenlegungsschrift DE 100 02 800 A1 ist ein Verfahren zum Montieren einer elektrischen Sicherungseinrichtung in Form einer NH-Sicherungsleiste mit eingebautem Stromwandler bekannt. Ein Gehäuse der Sicherungseinrichtung wird durch ein U-förmiges Profil gebildet, das zwei Seitenwände sowie eine die beiden Seitenwände verbindende Querwand aufweist. Die Querwand des U-förmigen Profils bzw. des Gehäuses bildet eine Handhabungsseite der Sicherungseinrichtung, auf der Kontaktelemente der Sicherungseinrichtung derart angebracht werden, dass sie sich von der Handhabungsseite senkrecht nach außen weg erstrecken und zum Anschluss von Überstromsicherungseinheiten von außen zugänglich sind. Als Überstromsicherungseinheiten können beispielsweise Schmelzsicherungen oder andere Sicherungseinrichtungen, beispielsweise in Form von Überstromschutzschaltern oder dergleichen, an die Kontaktelemente angeschlossen werden. Um einen Anschluss der Kontaktelemente, die sich auf der Handhabungsseite befinden, auf der der Handhabungsseite gegenüberliegende Montageseite des Gehäuses bzw. des U-förmigen Profils zu ermöglichen, werden in dem Gehäuse bzw. in dem U-förmigen Profil Z-förmige Verbindungsschienen montiert. Ein erster Schienenendabschnitt einer jeden Verbindungsschiene wird mit einem der Kontaktelemente auf der Handhabungsseite jeweils mittelbar oder unmittelbar elektrisch verbunden. Der andere bzw. zweite Schienenendabschnitt der Z-förmigen Verbindungsschiene ragt auf der der Handhabungsseite gegenüberliegenden Montageseite aus dem U-förmigen Profil heraus und ermöglicht einen elektrischen Anschluss an eine externe Stromschiene einer externen elektrischen Anlage auf der Montageseite. Die Montageseite des Gehäuses wird bei der NH-Sicherungsleiste der Druckschrift DE 100 02 800 A1 durch das offene Ende des U-förmigen Profils gebildet, das der Querwand des U-förmigen Profils gegenüberliegt.From the German patent application DE 100 02 800 A1 a method for mounting an electrical safety device in the form of a NH fuse strip with built-in current transformer is known. A housing of the securing device is formed by a U-shaped profile having two side walls and a transverse wall connecting the two side walls. The transverse wall of the U-shaped profile or the housing forms a handling side of the securing device, are mounted on the contact elements of the securing device such that they extend away from the handling side vertically outwardly and are accessible for connection of overcurrent protection units from the outside. As overcurrent protection units, for example, fuses or other safety devices, for example in the form of overcurrent protection switches or the like, can be connected to the contact elements. In order to allow a connection of the contact elements, which are located on the handling side on the handling side opposite mounting side of the housing or the U-shaped profile, Z-shaped connecting rails are mounted in the housing or in the U-shaped profile. A first rail end portion of each connecting rail is connected to one of the contact elements on the handling side each directly or indirectly electrically. The other or second rail end portion of the Z-shaped connecting rail projects out of the U-shaped profile on the mounting side opposite the handling side and allows an electrical connection to an external busbar of an external electrical system on the mounting side. The mounting side of the housing is at the NH fuse block of the document DE 100 02 800 A1 formed by the open end of the U-shaped profile, which is opposite to the transverse wall of the U-shaped profile.

Die NH-Sicherungsleiste der Druckschrift DE 100 02 800 A1 lässt sich mit Stromwandlern ausstatten, indem diese von der Montageseite des U-förmige Profils bzw. von der offenen Seite des U-förmigen Profils auf den zweiten Endabschnitt der Z-förmigen Verbindungsschiene aufgesteckt, über die Z-förmige Verbindungsschiene geschoben und unter einer 90°-Drehung in das Innere des U-förmigen Profils bzw. des Gehäuses der Verbindungseinrichtung hineingeklappt werden. Nach erfolgter Montage befinden sich die Stromwandler jeweils innerhalb des Gehäuses bzw. innerhalb des U-förmigen Profils.The NH fuse strip of the publication DE 100 02 800 A1 can be equipped with current transformers by these plugged from the mounting side of the U-shaped profile or from the open side of the U-shaped profile on the second end portion of the Z-shaped connecting rail, pushed over the Z-shaped connecting rail and at a 90 ° Rotation can be folded into the interior of the U-shaped profile or the housing of the connecting device. After installation, the current transformers are each within the housing or within the U-shaped profile.

Die Druckschrift EP 1 109 192 A2 offenbart eine elektrische Sicherungseinrichtung und das zugehörige Verfahren zum Montieren der Sicherungseinrichtung, gemäß dem Oberbegriff der Ansprüche 1 und 5.The publication EP 1 109 192 A2 discloses an electrical safety device and the associated method for mounting the safety device, according to the preamble of claims 1 and 5.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine elektrische Sicherungseinrichtung anzugeben, die sich besonders einfach montieren lässt.The invention has for its object to provide an electrical safety device that can be very easy to assemble.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch ein Verfahren mit den Merkmalen gemäß Patentanspruch 1 gelöst. Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens sind in Unteransprüchen angegeben.This object is achieved by a method having the features according to claim 1. Advantageous embodiments of the method according to the invention are specified in subclaims.

Danach ist erfindungsgemäß vorgesehen, dass die gebogene Verbindungsschiene bei der Montage im Gehäuse mit ihrem ersten Schienenendabschnitt quer zur Handhabungsseite ausgerichtet wird und ein Aufschieben eines Stromwandlers von der Handhabungsseite aus über das Kontaktelement hinüber in das Innere des Gehäuses hinein ermöglicht wird.Thereafter, the invention provides that the curved connecting rail is aligned during installation in the housing with its first rail end portion transversely to the handling side and sliding a current transformer from the handling side is made possible over the contact element into the interior of the housing inside.

Ein wesentlicher Vorteil des erfindungsgemäßen Montageverfahrens ist darin zu sehen, dass sich mit diesem eine elektrische Sicherungseinrichtung bilden lässt, die auch nachträglich, also nach bereits erfolgtem Anschluss an eine interne oder externe Stromschiene (z. B. eine externe Stromschiene einer externen elektrischen Anlage) eine Montage eines Stromwandlers ermöglicht. Da erfindungsgemäß die Verbindungsschiene der Sicherungseinrichtung derart montiert wird, dass deren erster Schienenendabschnitt quer zur Handhabungsseite ausgerichtet wird, bleibt ein Aufschieben eines Stromwandlers von der Handhabungsseite aus - beispielsweise durch eine Gehäuseöffnung auf der Handhabungsseite - möglich. Es ist somit möglich, einen Stromwandler zu montieren, auch wenn die Sicherungseinrichtung bereits mit der Montageseite auf einer beispielsweise externen Stromschiene montiert worden ist.An essential advantage of the assembly method according to the invention is the fact that an electrical safety device can be formed with the latter, which can also be retrofitted, that is to say already connected to an internal or external busbar (eg an external busbar of an external electrical system) Mounting a current transformer allows. Since according to the invention the connecting rail of the securing device is mounted in such a way that its first rail end section is aligned transversely to the handling side, it remains possible to slide a current transformer from the handling side, for example through a housing opening on the handling side. It is thus possible to mount a current transformer, even if the safety device has already been mounted with the mounting side on an example, external busbar.

Ein weiterer Vorteil des erfindungsgemäßen Montageverfahrens ist darin zu sehen, dass trotz der modifizierten Ausrichtung des ersten Schienenendabschnitts dennoch ein vollständiges Einführen von Stromwandlern ins Innere des Gehäuses der Sicherungseinrichtung möglich bleibt, so dass auch bei Montage von Stromwandlern keine Erhöhung der Bauhöhe der Sicherungseinrichtung auftreten muss.Another advantage of the assembly method according to the invention is the fact that despite the modified orientation of the first rail end still a complete insertion of current transformers inside the housing of the safety device remains possible, so that no increase in the height of the safety device must occur even when mounting current transformers.

Bezüglich der Ausstattung der Sicherungseinrichtung mit einem oder mehreren Stromwandlern wird es als vorteilhaft angesehen, wenn der oder die Stromwandler von der Handhabungsseite aus über das Kontaktelement und den ersten Schienenendabschnitt in das Innere des Gehäuses hineingeschoben wird bzw. werden.Regarding the equipment of the safety device with one or more current transformers, it is considered advantageous if the or the current transformer is pushed from the handling side of the contact element and the first rail end portion in the interior of the housing or be.

Mit Blick auf die Montage der Sicherungseinrichtung an einer oder mehreren internen oder externen Stromschienen wird es als vorteilhaft angesehen, wenn der zweite Schienenendabschnitt der Verbindungsschiene an eine Stromschiene angeschlossen wird und der Stromwandler von der Handhabungsseite aus über das Kontaktelement und den ersten Schienenendabschnitt in das Innere des Gehäuses hineingeschoben wird, nachdem der Anschluss der Verbindungsschiene an die Stromschiene bereits erfolgt ist.With regard to the mounting of the safety device on one or more internal or external busbars, it is considered advantageous if the second rail end portion of the connecting rail is connected to a busbar and the current transformer from the handling side via the contact element and the first rail end portion in the interior of the Housing is pushed into after the connection of the connecting rail to the busbar has already been made.

Vorzugsweise wird der erste Schienenendabschnitt senkrecht zur Montageseite ausgerichtet, und es erfolgt ein Aufschieben eines Stromwandlers bevorzugt von außen senkrecht zur Ebene der Handhabungsseite.Preferably, the first rail end portion is aligned perpendicular to the mounting side, and there is a postponement a current transformer preferably from the outside perpendicular to the plane of the handling side.

Die Erfindung bezieht sich darüber hinaus auf eine elektrische Sicherungseinrichtung mit einem Gehäuse mit einer Montageseite zum Anschluss an mindestens eine Stromschiene (zum Beispiel eine externe Stromschiene einer externen elektrischen Anlage), und einer der Montageseite gegenüberliegenden Handhabungsseite, auf der beabstandet zueinander Kontaktelemente der Sicherungseinrichtung angeordnet und zum Anschluss von Überstromsicherungseinheiten geeignet und zugänglich sind, und mit zumindest einer gebogenen Verbindungsschiene, die mit einem der Kontaktelemente auf der Handhabungsseite elektrisch in Verbindung steht und auf der Montageseite einen Anschluss an die mindestens eine Stromschiene ermöglicht.The invention further relates to an electrical safety device having a housing with a mounting side for connection to at least one busbar (for example, an external busbar of an external electrical system), and a handling side opposite the mounting side, arranged on the spaced contact elements of the securing device and suitable for connection of overcurrent protection units and accessible, and with at least one curved connecting rail, which is electrically connected to one of the contact elements on the handling side and on the mounting side allows a connection to the at least one busbar.

Bezüglich einer solchen Sicherungseinrichtung liegt erfindungsgemäß die Aufgabe zugrunde, diese derart auszugestalten, dass eine einfache Montage von Stromwandlern auch dann noch möglich ist, wenn die Sicherungseinrichtung bereits auf einer oder mehreren externen Stromschienen montiert worden ist.With regard to such a safety device, it is an object of the present invention to design these in such a way that simple mounting of current transformers is still possible even when the safety device has already been mounted on one or more external busbars.

Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe ist erfindungsgemäß vorgesehen, dass die gebogene Verbindungsschiene mit ihrem der Handhabungsseite zugewandten ersten Schienenendabschnitt quer zur Handhabungsseite ausgerichtet ist und ein Aufschieben eines Stromwandlers von der Handhabungsseite aus über das Kontaktelement hinüber in das Innere des Gehäuses hinein ermöglicht.To achieve this object, the invention provides that the curved connecting rail with its handling side facing the first rail end portion is aligned transversely to the handling side and allows pushing a current transformer from the handling side of the contact element over into the interior of the housing.

Bezüglich der Vorteile der erfindungsgemäßen Sicherungseinrichtung sei auf die obigen Ausführungen im Zusammenhang mit dem erfindungsgemäßen Verfahren verwiesen, da die Vorteile des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens denen der erfindungsgemäßen elektrischen Sicherungseinrichtung im Wesentlichen entsprechen.With regard to the advantages of the securing device according to the invention, reference is made to the above statements in connection with the method according to the invention, since the advantages of the method according to the invention essentially correspond to those of the electrical securing device according to the invention.

Mit Blick auf eine besonders einfache Montage von Stromwandlern wird es als vorteilhaft angesehen, wenn der erste Schienenendabschnitt im Inneren des Gehäuses liegt und senkrecht zur Handhabungsseite ausgerichtet ist.With a view to a particularly simple installation of current transformers, it is considered advantageous if the first rail end section inside the housing and is aligned perpendicular to the handling side.

Nach einer Montage eines Stromwandlers weist der erste Schienenendabschnitt der Verbindungsschiene vorzugsweise in den Stromwandler hinein oder durchsetzt diesen vollständig.After mounting a current transformer, the first rail end portion of the connecting rail preferably extends into or passes through the current transformer.

Bezüglich der Ausgestaltung des zweiten Schienenendabschnitts der gebogenen Verbindungsschiene wird es außerdem als vorteilhaft angesehen, wenn diese außerhalb des Gehäuses parallel zur Montageseite liegt.With regard to the configuration of the second rail end portion of the curved connecting rail, it is also considered advantageous if it lies outside the housing parallel to the mounting side.

Vorzugsweise sind die beiden Schienenendabschnitte der Verbindungsschiene senkrecht zueinander angeordnet.Preferably, the two rail end portions of the connecting rail are arranged perpendicular to each other.

Als besonders vorteilhaft wird es angesehen, wenn zwischen den beiden Schienenendabschnitten noch ein Mittelabschnitt angeordnet ist. Vorzugsweise erstreckt sich der Mittelabschnitt senkrecht zum ersten Schienenendabschnitt und parallel zum zweiten Schienenendabschnitt. Bevorzugt liegt das Mittelstück im Gehäuseinneren.It is regarded as particularly advantageous if between the two rail end sections still a central portion is arranged. Preferably, the central portion extends perpendicular to the first rail end portion and parallel to the second rail end portion. Preferably, the centerpiece is located inside the housing.

Darüber hinaus wird es als vorteilhaft angesehen, wenn der Abstand zwischen dem Mittelabschnitt und dem zweiten außerhalb des Gehäuses befindlichen Schienenendabschnitt - in Richtung senkrecht zur Ebene der Montageseite - mindestens so groß oder genauso groß ist wie die Dicke der Gehäusewand auf der Montageseite.Moreover, it is considered advantageous if the distance between the central portion and the second rail end portion located outside the housing - in the direction perpendicular to the plane of the mounting side - is at least as large or equal to the thickness of the housing wall on the mounting side.

Die Figur 1 zeigt eine elektrische Sicherungseinrichtung 10, bei der es sich beispielsweise um eine NH-Sicherungsleiste oder dergleichen handeln kann. Die Sicherungseinrichtung 10 weist ein Gehäuse 20 auf, auf dessen Handhabungsseite 30 Kontaktelemente 40 und 45 beabstandet zueinander angeordnet sind. Es lässt sich erkennen, dass die Kontaktelemente 40 und 45 senkrecht zur Handhabungsseite 30 angeordnet sind und sich von der Handhabungsseite 30 senkrecht weg erstrecken.The FIG. 1 shows an electrical safety device 10, which may be, for example, a NH fuse block or the like.

Aufgrund der senkrechten Ausrichtung des ersten Schienenendabschnitts 51 ist es möglich, einen Stromwandler 70 von der Handhabungsseite 30 aus zu montieren, indem ein Stromdurchführungsloch 71 des Stromwandlers 70 von der Handhabungsseite 30 aus über das Kontaktelement 40 sowie den ersten Schienenendabschnitt 51 geschoben wird. Auf der Handhabungsseite 30 ist zum Einführen des Stromwandlers 70 eine Gehäuseöffnung vorgesehen, durch die der Stromwandler 70 ins Gehäuseinnere 27 gelangen kann.Due to the vertical orientation of the first rail end portion 51, it is possible to mount a current transformer 70 from the handling side 30 by pushing a current feedthrough hole 71 of the current transformer 70 from the handling side 30 over the contact member 40 and the first rail end portion 51. On the handling side 30 is for insertion of the current transformer 70, a housing opening provided, through which the current transformer 70 can get into the housing interior 27.

Bei dem Ausführungsbeispiel gemäß Figur 1 sind der erste Schienenendabschnitt 51 der Verbindungsschiene 50 und das Kontaktelement 40 derart dimensioniert und montiert, dass die mechanische Verbindung 60 zwischen Kontaktelement 40 und dem ersten Schienenendabschnitt 51 nach der Montage des Stromwandlers 70 im Bereich des Stromdurchführungslochs 71 liegt.In the embodiment according to FIG. 1 For example, the first rail end portion 51 of the connecting rail 50 and the contact member 40 are dimensioned and mounted such that the mechanical connection 60 between the contact member 40 and the first rail end portion 51 is in the area of the current feedthrough hole 71 after the current transformer 70 is mounted.

Die Figur 1 zeigt darüber hinaus, dass die Verbindungsschiene 50 mit dem Gehäuse 20 verbunden ist. Hierzu dient eine weitere mechanische Verbindung, die in der Figur 1 mit dem Bezugszeichen 80 markiert ist. Bei der mechanischen Verbindung 80 kann es sich beispielsweise um eine Schraubverbindung, eine Nietverbindung, eine Quetschverbindung, eine Schweißverbindung oder dergleichen handeln. Die Anbindung der Verbindungsschiene 50 an das Gehäuse 20 erfolgt bei dem Ausführungsbeispiel gemäß Figur 1 auf einer Montageseite 22 des Gehäuses 20. Die Montageseite 22 liegt der Handhabungsseite 30 des Gehäuses 20 gegenüber und liegt zu dieser parallel.The FIG. 1 moreover shows that the connecting rail 50 is connected to the housing 20. For this purpose, a further mechanical connection is used in the FIG. 1 is marked with the reference numeral 80. The mechanical connection 80 may be, for example, a screw connection, a rivet connection, a crimp connection, a welded connection or the like. The connection of the connecting rail 50 to the housing 20 takes place in the embodiment according to FIG. 1 on a mounting side 22 of the housing 20. The mounting side 22 is the handling side 30 of the housing 20 opposite and is parallel to this.

Die Figur 1 zeigt darüber hinaus die Position des zweiten Schienenendabschnitts 52 der Verbindungsschiene 50 näher im Detail. Man erkennt, dass der zweite Schienenendabschnitt 52 durch eine Öffnung 23 auf der Montageseite 22 des Gehäuses 20 hindurchgeführt ist und außerhalb des Gehäuses 20 liegt. Durch die Anordnung des zweiten Schienenendabschnitts 52 außerhalb des Gehäuses 20 ist es möglich, die Verbindungsschiene 50 mit einer externen Stromschiene 100 außerhalb des Gehäuses 20 mechanisch zu verbinden.The FIG. 1 moreover, shows the position of the second rail end portion 52 of the connecting rail 50 in more detail. It can be seen that the second rail end portion 52 is passed through an opening 23 on the mounting side 22 of the housing 20 and lies outside the housing 20. By arranging the second rail end portion 52 outside the housing 20, it is possible to mechanically connect the connecting rail 50 to an external bus bar 100 outside the housing 20.

Bei dem Ausführungsbeispiel gemäß Figur 1 sind der erste Schienenendabschnitt 51 und der zweite Schienenendabschnitt 52 der Verbindungsschiene 50 durch einen Mittelabschnitt 53 verbunden, in dessen Bereich auch die mechanische Verbindung 80 mit der Montageseite 22 des Gehäuses 20 liegt. Der Mittelabschnitt 53 erstreckt sich vorzugsweise senkrecht zum ersten Schienenendabschnitt 51 sowie vorzugsweise parallel zum zweiten Schienenendabschnitt 52. Der räumliche Abstand zwischen dem Mittelabschnitt 53 sowie dem zweiten Endabschnitt 52 ist senkrecht zur Ebene der Montageseite 22 gesehen vorzugsweise genauso groß oder mindestens so groß wie die Dicke d der Montagewand 24 auf der Montageseite 22 des Gehäuses 20. Bei einer solchen Abstandswahl ist sichergestellt, dass die Verbindungsschiene 50 durch die Öffnung 23 hindurchgeführt werden kann, ohne darin zu verklemmen.In the embodiment according to FIG. 1 For example, the first rail end portion 51 and the second rail end portion 52 of the connecting rail 50 are connected by a central portion 53, in the region of which the mechanical connection 80 is located with the mounting side 22 of the housing 20. The central portion 53 preferably extends perpendicular to the first Rail distance portion 51 and preferably parallel to the second rail end portion 52. The spatial distance between the central portion 53 and the second end portion 52 is perpendicular to the plane of the mounting side 22 preferably the same size or at least as large as the thickness d of the mounting wall 24 on the mounting side 22 of the housing 20. With such a distance selection is ensured that the connecting rail 50 can be passed through the opening 23 without jamming therein.

Die Figur 1 zeigt darüber hinaus noch Abdeckkappen 110, die nach erfolgter Montage des oder der Stromwandler 70 auf die Kontaktelemente 40 und 45 aufgesteckt werden, um einen Berührungsschutz zu gewährleisten. Die Ausgestaltung der Abdeckkappen 110 ist vorzugsweise derart gewählt, dass ein nachträgliches Aufstecken von in der Figur 1 nicht gezeigten Sicherungselementen, bei denen es sich beispielsweise um Schmelzsicherungen oder Überstromschutzschalter oder dergleichen handeln kann, ermöglicht wird.The FIG. 1 also shows cover 110, which are fitted after the installation of the or the current transformer 70 to the contact elements 40 and 45 to ensure contact protection. The configuration of the caps 110 is preferably selected such that a subsequent plugging in in the FIG. 1 not shown fuse elements, which may be, for example, fuses or overcurrent circuit breakers or the like, is made possible.

Die Figur 2 zeigt beispielhaft, wie die Sicherungseinrichtung 10 gemäß Figur 1 montiert werden kann. Zunächst wird vorzugsweise die Verbindungsschiene 50 mit dem Kontaktelement 40 verbunden und innerhalb des Gehäuses 20 montiert. Zur Verbindung der Verbindungsschiene 50 mit dem Kontaktelement 40 wird vorzugsweise eine mechanische Verbindung 60 hergestellt. Zum Halten der Verbindungsschiene 50 innerhalb des Gehäuses 40 wird vorzugsweise eine mechanische Verbindung 80 hergestellt.The FIG. 2 shows by way of example how the securing device 10 according to FIG. 1 can be mounted. First, preferably, the connecting rail 50 is connected to the contact member 40 and mounted within the housing 20. For connecting the connecting rail 50 to the contact element 40, a mechanical connection 60 is preferably produced. For holding the connecting rail 50 within the housing 40, a mechanical connection 80 is preferably made.

Nachdem die Verbindungsschiene 50 und das Kontaktelement 40 in der beschriebenen Weise vormontiert worden sind, wird die Verbindungsschiene 50 auf einer externen Stromschiene 100 montiert. Nach dem Anbringen des Gehäuses 20 auf der Stromschiene 100 kann eine unmittelbare Fertigstellung der Sicherungseinrichtung 10 erfolgen, indem diese mit Abdeckkappen 110 (vgl. Figur 1) versehen wird und auf die Kontaktelemente 40 und 45 Sicherungseinheiten aufgesetzt werden; alternativ kann noch zusätzlich eine Bestückung mit Stromwandlern 70 erfolgen.After the connecting rail 50 and the contact element 40 have been pre-assembled in the manner described, the connecting rail 50 is mounted on an external busbar 100. After attaching the housing 20 on the busbar 100, an immediate completion of the safety device 10 can be done by this with cover caps 110 (see. FIG. 1 ) is provided and placed on the contact elements 40 and 45 fuse units; alternative can additionally be equipped with current transformers 70.

Eine nachträgliche Montage eines Stromwandlers 70 erfolgt vorzugsweise von der Handhabungsseite 30 aus, indem der Stromwandler 70 mit seinem Stromdurchführungsloch 71 über das Kontaktelement 40 sowie den ersten Schienenendabschnitt 51 der Verbindungsschiene 50 aufgeschoben und in das Gehäuseinnere 27 des Gehäuses 20 eingeführt wird. Nach dem Aufschieben des Stromwandlers 70 bzw. dem Hineinschieben des Stromwandlers 70 in das Gehäuseinnere 27 von der Handhabungsseite 30 aus sowie nach einem Aufbringen von Abdeckkappen 110 ergibt sich eine auf der Stromschiene 100 montierte Sicherungseinrichtung 10, wie sie in der Figur 1 dargestellt und erläutert worden ist.A subsequent installation of a current transformer 70 is preferably carried out from the handling side 30 by the current transformer 70 is pushed with its current passage hole 71 via the contact element 40 and the first rail end portion 51 of the connecting rail 50 and inserted into the housing interior 27 of the housing 20.
