- the permanent magnet 34 with attached cover 35 is inserted into the receiving chamber 38 from above, with only the cover 35 from the receiving chamber 38 projects upwards. Since all walls 12, 39, 40, 41 of the receiving chamber 38 are made of an electrically insulating material, skipping an arc on the permanent magnet 34 is effectively prevented.
- the permanent magnet 34 On a side facing away from the cover 35, the permanent magnet 34 has a coding projection 44, with which this dips into a KodierausEnglishung 43 of the receiving chamber 38. Since the coding projection 44 and the coding recess 43 are arranged laterally offset from an axis of symmetry, the permanent magnet 34 can be used only in one of its magnetic orientations. This avoids that a wrong magnetic field is built up.
- the cover 35 has upwardly facing stop projections 45.
- the coding projection 44 can not be immersed in the coding recess 43, so that the permanent magnet 34 protrudes farther from the receiving chamber 38 than when properly inserted.
- the fixed contact carrier 19 can not be mounted, since this abuts against the stop projections 45. A wrong assembly is thus safely avoided.

Die Aufgabe wird durch ein Schaltgerät nach Anspruch 1 gelöst. Somit ist es möglich, denjenigen Teil eines Permanentmagneten unmittelbar mit einer Abdeckung zu versehen, welcher aus einer Aufnahmekammer für den Permanentmagneten hervorsteht, so dass ein Überschlagen des Lichtbogens auf diesen vorstehenden Teil des Permanentmagneten verhindert wird. Im in der Aufnahmekammer aufgenommenen Zustand ist der Permanentmagnet somit vollständig elektrisch isoliert. Hierbei ist auch von Vorteil, dass der Permanentmagnet bereits vor Einschieben in die Aufnahmekammer mit der Abdeckung versehen werden kann und als vorgefertigte Baueinheit bereitgestellt werden kann. Hierbei kann die Abdeckung lösbar oder unlösbar, z. B. stoffschlüssig, mit dem Permanentmagneten verbunden sein.The object is achieved by a switching device according to claim 1. Thus, it is possible to provide that part of a permanent magnet directly with a cover which protrudes from a receiving chamber for the permanent magnet, so that a rollover of the arc is prevented on this protruding part of the permanent magnet. In the recorded in the receiving chamber state of the permanent magnet is thus completely electrically isolated. It is also advantageous that the permanent magnet can be provided with the cover before insertion into the receiving chamber and can be provided as a prefabricated unit. In this case, the cover detachable or insoluble, z. B. cohesively, be connected to the permanent magnet.
Die Lichtbogentreiberanordnung kann unterschiedlich gestaltet sein. Zum Beispiel kann vorgesehen sein, dass zwei Permanentmagnetanordnungen wie vorgehend erläutert, vorgesehen sind, zwischen denen die Schaltkontaktanordnung angeordnet ist. Es ist jedoch auch denkbar, dass nur eine Permanentmagnetanordnung vorgesehen ist, die mit zwei parallel verlaufenden Polplatten verbunden ist, wobei der Permanentmagnet oberhalb der Schaltkontaktanordnung angeordnet ist und die Polplatten die Schaltkontaktanordnung zwischen sich aufnehmen.The arc driver assembly may be designed differently. For example, it can be provided that two permanent magnet arrangements are provided, as explained above, between which the switch contact arrangement is arranged. However, it is also conceivable that only one permanent magnet arrangement is provided, which is connected to two parallel pole plates, wherein the permanent magnet is arranged above the switching contact arrangement and the pole plates receive the switching contact arrangement between them.
In Ausgestaltung kann die Permanentmagnetanordnung in einer Aufnahmekammer des Gehäuses des Schaltgeräts aufgenommen sein und ausschließlich mit der Abdeckung aus der Aufnahmekammer hervorstehen. Somit bildet das Gehäuse ein Teil der elektrischen Isolierung. Der aus der Aufnahmekammer herausstehende Teil des Permanentmagneten ist durch die Abdeckung elektrisch isoliert, so dass ein Überschlagen eines Lichtbogens auf den Permanentmagnet verhindert wird.In an embodiment, the permanent magnet arrangement can be accommodated in a receiving chamber of the housing of the switching device and protrude exclusively with the cover from the receiving chamber. Thus, the housing forms part of the electrical insulation. The protruding from the receiving chamber part of the permanent magnet is electrically insulated by the cover, so that an arc of an arc on the permanent magnet is prevented.
Die Aufnahmekammer kann hierbei in eine Wand des Gehäuses eingebracht sein.The receiving chamber may in this case be introduced into a wall of the housing.
Vorzugsweise ist die Wand aus einem elektrisch isolierenden und magnetisch permeablen Material, zum Beispiel aus einem duroplastischem oder temperaturfesten thermoplastischen Kunststoff oder Keramik, gefertigt. Aus demselben Material kann auch die Abdeckung gefertigt sein.Preferably, the wall is made of an electrically insulating and magnetically permeable material, for example of a thermoset or temperature-resistant thermoplastic or ceramic. From the same material and the cover can be made.
Die Permanentmagnetanordnung kann einen Kodiervorsprung aufweisen, der beispielsweise am Permanentmagnet vorgesehen ist, mit dem die Permanentmagnetanordnung in eine Kodierausnehmung der Aufnahmekammer eintaucht. Somit lässt sich gewährleisten, dass der Permanentmagnet grundsätzlich in der richtigen magnetischen Orientierung in die Aufnahmekammer eingesetzt wird, um sicher zu stellen, dass ein Lichtbogen in die richtige Richtung, d. h. in eine Löscheinrichtung, getrieben wird. Für den Fall, dass der Permanentmagnet bzw. die Permanentmagnetanordnung in verkehrter Richtung in die Aufnahmekammer eingesetzt wird, ist die Aufnahmekammer derart gestaltet, dass der Kodiervorsprung nicht in die Kodierausnehmung eintauchen kann und die Permanentmagnetanordnung weiter aus der Aufnahmekammer vorsteht, als dies der Fall ist, wenn die Permanentmagnetanordnung korrekt eingesetzt ist. Somit ist eine direkte visuelle Überprüfung des richtigen Sitzes der Permanentmagnetanordnung möglich. Ferner kann vorgesehen sein, dass z. B. ein Deckel oder weitere Bauteile des Schaltgeräts nicht montiert werden kann, wenn die Permanentmagnetanordnung falsch eingesetzt ist, indem die weiteren Bauteile gegen die Permanentmagnetanordnung stoßen und ein Montieren der weiteren Bauteile verhindert.The permanent magnet arrangement can have a coding projection, which is provided, for example, on the permanent magnet, with which the permanent magnet arrangement dips into a coding recess of the receiving chamber. Thus, it can be ensured that the permanent magnet is basically inserted in the correct magnetic orientation into the receiving chamber to ensure that an arc in the right direction, i. H. into a fire extinguishing device. In the event that the permanent magnet or the permanent magnet assembly is inserted in the wrong direction in the receiving chamber, the receiving chamber is designed such that the Kodiervorsprung can not dip into the Kodierausnehmung and the permanent magnet assembly further protrudes from the receiving chamber, as is the case, when the permanent magnet assembly is correctly inserted. Thus, a direct visual verification of the correct fit of the permanent magnet assembly is possible. Furthermore, it can be provided that z. B. a cover or other components of the switching device can not be mounted when the permanent magnet assembly is inserted incorrectly by the other components abut against the permanent magnet assembly and prevents mounting of the other components.

Die erste Lichtbogentreiberanordnung 32 umfasst zwei erste Permanentmagnetanordnungen 25, die in der zweiten Schaltkammer 9 angeordnet sind und die erste Schaltkontaktanordnung 13 zwischen sich aufnehmen. Die ersten Permanentmagnetanordnungen 25 sind parallel zu den Zwischenwänden 11, 12 angeordnet. Die beiden ersten Permanentmagneten 25 sind bezüglich ihrer Magnetisierung gleichgerichtet angeordnet, so dass sich zwischen ihnen ein annähernd homogenes Magnetfeld mit Feldlinien quer zur Trennrichtung ausbildet. Somit verlaufen die Feldlinien des Magnetfeldes auch quer zu einem Lichtbogen, der sich zwischen dem ersten Kontakt 14 und dem zweiten Kontakt 15 der ersten Schaltkontaktanordnung 13 ausbildet. Hierdurch entsteht durch das Magnetfeld eine Lorenzkraft, die auf den Lichtbogen einwirkt und diesen in Richtung zur ersten Löscheinrichtung 27 treibt.In order to drive resulting arcs between the contact pairs in the
Die zweite Lichtbogentreiberanordnung 33 ist vergleichbar zur ersten Lichtbogentreiberanordnung 32 aufgebaut und umfasst zwei zweite Permanentmagnetanordnungen 26, die die zweite Schaltkontaktanordnung 16 zwischen sich aufnehmen. Das Magnetfeld kann in derselben Richtung wie das der ersten Permanentmagnetanordnungen 25 ausgerichtet sein. Ein Lichtbogen, der sich zwischen dem ersten Kontakt 17 und dem zweiten Kontakt 18 der zweiten Schaltkontaktanordnung 16 ausgebildet, weist eine Stromrichtung auf, die räumlich der Stromrichtung eines Lichtbogens zwischen den Kontakten 14, 15 der ersten Schaltkontaktanordnung 13 entgegengesetzt ist. Wenn ein Lichtbogen gemäß der Darstellung in
Die erste Strombahn 5 und die dritte Strombahn 7 sowie die erste Schaltkammer 8 und die dritte Schaltkammer 10 sind identisch zur zweiten Strombahn 6 und zur zweiten Schaltkammer 9 ausgebildet, jedoch mit dem Unterschied, dass in der ersten Schaltkammer 8 und der dritten Schaltkammer 10 keine Lichtbogentreiberanordnungen angeordnet sind. In der ersten Schaltkammer 8 und in der dritten Schaltkammer 10 sind somit keine Permanentmagnetanordnungen angeordnet. Die Lichtbogentreiberanordnungen 32, 33 der ersten Strombahn 6 strahlen auf die benachbarten Schaltkammern, nämlich die erste Schaltkammer 8 und die dritte Schaltkammer 10, aus um auch dort eine Lorenzkraft auf einen entstehenden Lichtbogen ausüben zu können. Grundsätzlich können jedoch auch die erste Schaltkammer 8 und/oder die dritte Schaltkammer 10 mit Lichtbogentreiberanordnungen versehen sein.The first flow path 5 and the third flow path 7 as well as the first switching chamber 8 and the

An einem der Abdeckung 35 abgewandten Seite weist der Permanentmagnet 34 einen Kodiervorsprung 44 auf, mit dem dieser in eine Kodierausnehmung 43 der Aufnahmekammer 38 eintaucht. Da der Kodiervorsprung 44 und die Kodierausnehmung 43 seitlich versetzt von einer Symmetrieachse angeordnet sind, kann der Permanentmagnet 34 nur in einer seiner magnetischen Ausrichtungen eingesetzt werden. Hierdurch wird vermieden, dass ein falsches Magnetfeld aufgebaut wird.On a side facing away from the
Ferner weist die Abdeckung 35 nach oben weisende Anschlagvorsprünge 45 auf. Wenn der Permanentmagnet 34 falsch herum in die Aufnahmekammer 38 eingesetzt wird, kann der Kodiervorsprung 44 nicht in die Kodierausnehmung 43 eintauchen, so dass der Permanentmagnet 34 weiter aus der Aufnahmekammer 38 vorsteht, als wenn er korrekt eingesetzt wird. In dieser nicht korrekt eingesetzten Stellung lassen sich der Festkontaktträger 19 nicht montieren, da dieser gegen die Anschlagvorsprünge 45 anstößt. Eine Fehlmontage wird somit sicher vermieden.Furthermore, the
