Definitions

  • the invention relates to an insulation device for covering a conductive contact element of an electro-mechanical protection switching device, in particular a circuit breaker, a residual current circuit breaker or a circuit breaker. Furthermore, the invention relates to an electromechanical protective switching device, which is designed in particular as a circuit breaker, as a residual current circuit breaker or as a circuit breaker and having at least one such isolation device.
  • Circuit breakers are used in particular as switching and safety elements in electrical energy supply networks.
  • Circuit breakers are specially designed for high currents.
  • a circuit breaker is an overcurrent protection device in the electrical installation and is used in particular in the field of low-voltage networks.
  • Circuit breakers and miniature circuit breakers guarantee a safe shutdown in the event of a short circuit and protect consumers and systems from overload. They also protect cables from damage due to excessive heating as a result of excessive electrical current.
  • a residual current circuit breaker is a protective device to ensure protection against a dangerous fault current in an electrical system.
  • a fault current which is also referred to as differential current, occurs when a live line part has an electrical contact with earth. This is for example the case when a person touches a live part of an electrical system: in this case, the current flows as a fault current through the body of the person concerned against the ground.
  • the electrical system quickly and safely disconnect all poles from the mains.
  • the terms residual current circuit breaker (RCD) or RCD (Residual Current Protective Device) are also used equivalently.
  • Circuit-breakers such as circuit breakers, miniature circuit breakers or residual current circuit breakers are designed to switch off the circuit automatically in the event of a short circuit, overload or fault current, thus disconnecting it from the mains.
  • they have a switching contact pair with a stationary switching contact and a switching contact which can be moved relative thereto, which is opened when necessary in order to interrupt the flow of current.
  • these devices For electrical contacting with one or more external connection conductors, these devices have one or a plurality of connection terminals into which the connection conductor can be inserted. By pressing a corresponding clamping screw, the connection conductor can be securely clamped, so that the protective switching device is securely connected to the electrical connection conductor.
  • the EP 1 069 578 A1 discloses a protective switching device with an insulation device, which is adaptable by separating transverse webs to different conductor cross-sections.
  • the insulation device according to the invention is provided to cover a conductive contact element of an electro-mechanical protection device, in particular a circuit breaker, a residual current circuit breaker or a circuit breaker, wherein the conductive contact element is arranged behind a housing opening of the protective device.
  • the insulation device has a main body, which can be fastened to a housing of the protective switching device and has an opening for passing at least one electrical connection line in order to contact the latter with the contact element of the protective switching device.
  • the insulation device furthermore has an insulation element which is firmly but detachably connected to the base body in the region of the opening.
  • the opening in turn, has an opening cross-section which can be adapted to a line cross-section of the electrical connection line with the aid of the insulation element in such a way that manual contact of the contact element is excluded in the installed state of the insulation device on the protection switching device.
  • the insulation device if national safety requirements - for example, with regard to the creepage distances and creepage distances to be complied with - require this, be attached to a protective switching device in the region of the electrical connection terminal.
  • the term "contact element" encompasses all electrically conductive components in the connection region of the protective switching device, for example, the clamping frame or the pressure piece of the terminal, but also the contact itself.
  • the adaptation of the opening cross section to the cross section of the connecting line by means of the insulating element is achieved in that the insulating element partially covers the opening cross section.
  • the adjustment of the opening cross-section can be done both by an assembly and by disassembly of the insulation element: In the case of mounting the insulation element on the main body of the insulation device, the opening cross-section is reduced, whereby an adaptation to a connecting line with a small cross-section can be realized. In the case of dismantling, ie removal of the insulating element from the base body of the opening cross-section is increased accordingly, whereby an adaptation to a connecting cable is achieved with a large cross-section.
  • a simple and cost-effective protection against contact of the degree of protection IP20 can also be realized for different cable cross-sections.
  • differently dimensioned insulation elements can be combined with the base body, whereby the opening cross-section is adaptable to different cable cross sections.

  • the insulation element is integrally but detachably connected to the base body. Due to the one-piece embodiment, a time-consuming installation of the insulating element on the main body is unnecessary, which is why the isolation device is relatively inexpensive to produce.
  • the isolation device is designed plugged or pushed onto the protective switching device.
  • a plugging or pushing the isolation device on the circuit breaker allows easy to perform mounting the insulation device, especially when retrofitting existing electrical installations. The assembly effort is significantly reduced.
  • the main body is substantially U-shaped, wherein a first leg of the U-shaped main body of a first partition and a second leg of the U-shaped base body formed by a second partition are.
  • the first and the second leg serve to electrically isolate the protective switching device in the region of its electrical terminal against a neighboring arranged protective switching device, for example in a distribution box.
  • the electrical connections of adjacent protection devices can be close to each other, so that the prescribed clearances and creepage distances can not be met without additional insulation of the connections.
  • the first and the second partition wall which are arranged between the electrical terminals adjacent to each other arranged protective switching devices, represents such insulation.
  • the insulation device to the protection device can be fastened.
  • the outer distance of the first partition to the second partition substantially corresponds to a width of the protective switching device.
  • the insulation device is substantially flush with the broad sides, which define the width of the protective device, from.
  • the isolation device can be produced by plastic injection molding.
  • plastic injection molding represents an extremely cost-effective production method.
  • the insulating element it is also possible for the insulating element to be injection-molded onto the main body of the insulation device via one or more sprue webs. The insulation element then already covers part of the opening cross-section. To adapt to a connecting cable with a large cable cross section, the insulating element is separated by separating the sprue webs, whereby the opening cross-section is increased accordingly.
