Description

本発明は、外部引外し式の漏電遮断器に適用され、回路遮断器に外付けされる漏電検出引外しユニットに関する。   The present invention relates to a leakage detection trip unit applied to an external trip type earth leakage breaker and attached to a circuit breaker.

従来、漏電を検出すると電路を遮断する漏電遮断器が提案されている(例えば、特許文献1を参照)。漏電遮断器には、回路遮断器の内部に漏電検出機能を追加したものと、回路遮断器に外付けする機器に漏電検出機能を内蔵させて当該機器を回路遮断器と接続したものとがある。後者のものは外部引外し式の漏電遮断器と呼ばれ、回路遮断器に外付けされる機器は漏電検出引外しユニットと呼ばれている。   Conventionally, an earth leakage circuit breaker that interrupts an electric circuit when an earth leakage is detected has been proposed (see, for example, Patent Document 1). There are two types of earth leakage circuit breakers: one with a leakage detection function added to the inside of the circuit breaker, and one with a built-in leakage detection function in a device externally connected to the circuit breaker, which is connected to the circuit breaker. . The latter is called an external trip type earth leakage breaker, and the device externally attached to the circuit breaker is called an earth leakage detection trip unit.

一般に回路遮断器は、一端側に電源端子部が、他端側に負荷端子部がそれぞれ備えられ、両端子部間に、接点部と、引外し機構部と、接点部のオン・オフを行うハンドル機構部とを備える。また、接点部が引外し機構部により引外された際に発生するアークを消弧するグリッド部を具備したものがある。一方、漏電検出引外しユニットは、一端側に接続端子部が、他端側に負荷端子部がそれぞれ備えられ、両端子部間に、漏電検出回路と、電路となる主回路バーと、漏電検出信号により回路遮断器の引外し機構部に作用を加える引外し駆動部とを備える。外部引外し式の漏電遮断器では、回路遮断器の負荷端子部(以下、回路遮断器の接続端子部)に、漏電検出引外しユニットの接続端子部が接続される。   In general, a circuit breaker is provided with a power terminal portion on one end side and a load terminal portion on the other end side, and the contact portion, the trip mechanism portion, and the contact portion are turned on and off between both terminal portions. A handle mechanism. In addition, there is one having a grid portion that extinguishes an arc generated when the contact portion is tripped by the trip mechanism. On the other hand, the leakage detection trip unit is provided with a connection terminal part on one end side and a load terminal part on the other end side. Between the two terminal parts, a leakage detection circuit, a main circuit bar serving as an electric circuit, and leakage detection A tripping drive unit that acts on the tripping mechanism unit of the circuit breaker by a signal. In the external trip type earth leakage breaker, the connection terminal portion of the leakage detection trip unit is connected to the load terminal portion of the circuit breaker (hereinafter referred to as the connection terminal portion of the circuit breaker).

漏電検出引外しユニットによる漏電の検出には零層変流器(Zero phase Current Transformer)が使用され、このZCTに主回路バーが通される。例えば3相4線の場合、ZCTに4本の主回路バーが通される。通電時には、ZCTを通過する往路と復路の電流の差分が検出される。漏電が生じていない場合、上記差分はゼロであるが、漏電が生じた場合、往路と復路の電流に差分が生じ当該差分を増幅して電路を遮断する。主回路バーが電線の代替となって、当該主回路バーの一端側が回路遮断器の接続端子部に端子ねじで固定されるとともに、他端側が端子板を介して漏電検出引外しユニットの負荷端子部に端子ねじで固定される。   A zero phase current transformer is used to detect a leakage by the leakage detection trip unit, and a main circuit bar is passed through the ZCT. For example, in the case of three-phase four-wire, four main circuit bars are passed through the ZCT. At the time of energization, the difference between the current in the forward path and the return path passing through the ZCT is detected. When there is no leakage, the difference is zero, but when a leakage occurs, a difference occurs in the current between the forward path and the return path, and the difference is amplified to block the circuit. The main circuit bar replaces the wires, and one end of the main circuit bar is fixed to the connection terminal of the circuit breaker with a terminal screw, and the other end is connected to the load terminal of the leakage detection trip unit via the terminal plate The terminal is fixed with terminal screws.

(第1の実施の形態)
以下、漏電検出引外しユニットの第1の実施の形態について説明する。
図1に示すように、外部引外し式の漏電遮断器は、大きく分けて回路遮断器3と漏電検出引外しユニット4とで構成される。この漏電遮断器は、回路遮断器3の電源端子部3a及び漏電検出引外しユニット4の負荷端子部4aにおいて、電線1が端子ねじ2によって固定されている。複数の回路遮断器3は連接ハンドル5によって連接されている。この連接ハンドル5は、漏電検出引外しユニット4の連動ハンドル6に接続されており、漏電検出時に動作する連動ハンドル6によって連動されて、回路を遮断する。
(First embodiment)
Hereinafter, a first embodiment of the leakage detection trip unit will be described.
As shown in FIG. 1, the external trip type earth leakage breaker is roughly composed of a circuit breaker 3 and an earth leakage detection trip unit 4. In this earth leakage circuit breaker, the electric wire 1 is fixed by the terminal screw 2 in the power terminal part 3 a of the circuit breaker 3 and the load terminal part 4 a of the earth leakage detection trip unit 4. The plurality of circuit breakers 3 are connected by a connecting handle 5. This connection handle 5 is connected to the interlocking handle 6 of the leakage detection trip unit 4 and is interlocked by the interlocking handle 6 that operates when the leakage is detected, thereby interrupting the circuit.

図2に示すように、漏電検出引外しユニット4の内部には、電路となる主回路バー7が引き回され、当該主回路バー7の先端は端子板8に溶着されている。主回路バー7は4本ともZCT9を通過している。   As shown in FIG. 2, the main circuit bar 7 serving as an electric circuit is routed inside the leakage detection trip unit 4, and the tip of the main circuit bar 7 is welded to the terminal plate 8. All four main circuit bars 7 pass through the ZCT 9.

図3に示すように、主回路バー7は、一端側の接続端子部7aが回路遮断器3の接続端子部3b(図1参照)に端子ねじ2で固定され、他端側が端子板8を介して漏電検出引外しユニット4の負荷端子部4aに端子ねじ2で固定されている。接続端子部7aは、端子カバー10によって保護されている。接続端子部7aは、接触面形状が平面で形成されている。したがって、接続端子部7aが回路遮断器3の接続端子部3bに端子ねじ2で固定されるとき、接続端子部7aの平面部分が接続端子部3bの端子板によって挟み込まれ、これにより、接触面積が大きくなる。   As shown in FIG. 3, the main circuit bar 7 has a connection terminal portion 7 a on one end side fixed to a connection terminal portion 3 b (see FIG. 1) of the circuit breaker 3 with a terminal screw 2, and a terminal plate 8 on the other end side. The terminal screw 2 is fixed to the load terminal portion 4 a of the leakage detection trip unit 4. The connection terminal portion 7 a is protected by the terminal cover 10. The connection terminal portion 7a has a flat contact surface shape. Therefore, when the connection terminal portion 7a is fixed to the connection terminal portion 3b of the circuit breaker 3 with the terminal screw 2, the plane portion of the connection terminal portion 7a is sandwiched between the terminal plates of the connection terminal portion 3b, thereby the contact area. Becomes larger.

次に、漏電検出引外しユニット4の作用について説明する。
主回路バー7の接続端子部7aにおける接触面形状は平面であるため、接触面積が大きくなる。これにより、接触抵抗による発熱が抑えられ、主回路バー7による電路の発熱量が少なくなる。したがって、接続端子部7aの温度上昇値は低減される。以上のように、漏電検出引外しユニット4は、接続端子部7aの接触面積が大きいため、接続端子部7aの温度上昇値の低減が可能になる。
Next, the operation of the leakage detection trip unit 4 will be described.
Since the contact surface shape of the connection terminal portion 7a of the main circuit bar 7 is a flat surface, the contact area increases. Thereby, the heat generation by the contact resistance is suppressed, and the heat generation amount of the electric circuit by the main circuit bar 7 is reduced. Therefore, the temperature rise value of the connection terminal portion 7a is reduced. As described above, since the leakage detection trip unit 4 has a large contact area of the connection terminal portion 7a, the temperature rise value of the connection terminal portion 7a can be reduced.

以上説明したように、第1の実施の形態によれば、以下の効果を奏することができる。
(1)回路遮断器3の接続端子部3bに対する接続部位である主回路バー7の接続端子部7aは、当該接続端子部7a以外の電路よりも接触面積が大きい端子部形状を有している。これにより、接続端子部7aの接触面積が増加するので、接触抵抗による発熱が抑えられ、電路の発熱量が低減される。したがって、電路の温度上昇値は低減される。よって、回路遮断器3の接続端子部3b付近の温度上昇を抑制することができる。
As described above, according to the first embodiment, the following effects can be obtained.
(1) The connection terminal part 7a of the main circuit bar 7 which is a connection part with respect to the connection terminal part 3b of the circuit breaker 3 has a terminal part shape with a larger contact area than an electric circuit other than the connection terminal part 7a. . Thereby, since the contact area of the connection terminal part 7a increases, the heat_generation | fever by contact resistance is suppressed and the emitted-heat amount of an electric circuit is reduced. Therefore, the temperature rise value of the electric circuit is reduced. Therefore, the temperature rise near the connection terminal portion 3b of the circuit breaker 3 can be suppressed.

(2)回路遮断器3の接続端子部3bと接する部分が平面であることから、接触面積が大きくなり、接触抵抗による発熱量を下げられる。
(3)回路遮断器3の接続端子部3b付近の温度上昇が抑制されることに伴い、接続端子部3bを覆う蓋を別途取り付ける必要がない。つまり、当該蓋により表面温度を下げる必要がない。
(2) Since the portion in contact with the connection terminal portion 3b of the circuit breaker 3 is a flat surface, the contact area is increased and the amount of heat generated by the contact resistance can be reduced.
(3) Along with the suppression of the temperature rise in the vicinity of the connection terminal portion 3b of the circuit breaker 3, it is not necessary to separately attach a cover that covers the connection terminal portion 3b. That is, it is not necessary to lower the surface temperature with the lid.

(第2の実施の形態)
次に、漏電検出引外しユニットの第2の実施の形態について説明する。本実施の形態における漏電検出引外しユニット4は、主回路バー7の接続端子部7aを除いては上記第1の実施の形態と同様であるから、共通する構成要素には同一の符号を付して、その説明は省略する。
(Second Embodiment)
Next, a second embodiment of the leakage detection trip unit will be described. The leakage detection trip unit 4 in the present embodiment is the same as that of the first embodiment except for the connection terminal portion 7a of the main circuit bar 7, and therefore, common constituent elements are denoted by the same reference numerals. Therefore, the description is omitted.

図4に示すように、接続端子部7aは略Uの字型に形成されている。したがって、この接続端子部7aが回路遮断器3の接続端子部3bに端子ねじ2で固定されるとき、接続端子部7aのU字部分が接続端子部3bの端子板によって挟み込まれ、これにより、接触面積が大きくなる。なお、U字部分の接触面形状を平面で形成してもよい。   As shown in FIG. 4, the connection terminal portion 7 a is formed in a substantially U shape. Therefore, when the connection terminal portion 7a is fixed to the connection terminal portion 3b of the circuit breaker 3 with the terminal screw 2, the U-shaped portion of the connection terminal portion 7a is sandwiched between the terminal plates of the connection terminal portion 3b. The contact area increases. In addition, you may form the contact surface shape of a U-shaped part with a plane.

次に、漏電検出引外しユニット4の作用について説明する。
主回路バー7の接続端子部7aはUの字型であるため、直状との比較において接触面積が大きくなる。これにより、接触抵抗による発熱が抑えられ、主回路バー7による電路の発熱量が少なくなる。したがって、接続端子部7aの温度上昇値は低減される。また、少ない曲げ回数で済むので、加工コストの低減も可能である。以上のように、漏電検出引外しユニット4は、接続端子部7aの接触面積が大きくなっているため、接触抵抗による発熱は抑制される。したがって、接続端子部7aの温度上昇値の低減が可能になる。
Next, the operation of the leakage detection trip unit 4 will be described.
Since the connection terminal portion 7a of the main circuit bar 7 is U-shaped, the contact area is increased in comparison with the straight shape. Thereby, the heat generation by the contact resistance is suppressed, and the heat generation amount of the electric circuit by the main circuit bar 7 is reduced. Therefore, the temperature rise value of the connection terminal portion 7a is reduced. In addition, since the number of bending times is small, the processing cost can be reduced. As described above, since the leakage detection trip unit 4 has a large contact area of the connection terminal portion 7a, heat generation due to contact resistance is suppressed. Therefore, the temperature rise value of the connection terminal portion 7a can be reduced.

以上説明したように、第2の実施の形態によれば、上記第1の実施の形態による(1)、(3)の効果と同様の効果に加え、以下の効果を奏することができる。
(4)主回路バー7の接続端子部7aの電路は、Uの字状からなる。このため、少ない曲げ回数で接触面積を増やすことができ、温度低減ができる。
As described above, according to the second embodiment, in addition to the same effects as the effects (1) and (3) according to the first embodiment, the following effects can be achieved.
(4) The electric circuit of the connection terminal portion 7a of the main circuit bar 7 has a U shape. For this reason, the contact area can be increased with a small number of bendings, and the temperature can be reduced.

(5)接続端子部7aをUの字状に形成して表面積を増やすことで、電路まわりの放熱量も増加する。したがって、電路の温度上昇値を低減することができる。
(6)U字部分の接触面形状を平面で形成する場合、より接触面積が大きくなり、接触抵抗による発熱量を下げられる。
(5) By forming the connection terminal portion 7a in a U shape and increasing the surface area, the amount of heat dissipated around the electric circuit is also increased. Therefore, the temperature rise value of the electric circuit can be reduced.
(6) When the contact surface shape of the U-shaped portion is formed as a flat surface, the contact area becomes larger and the amount of heat generated by the contact resistance can be reduced.

(第3の実施の形態)
次に、漏電検出引外しユニットの第3の実施の形態について説明する。本実施の形態における漏電検出引外しユニット4は、主回路バー7の接続端子部7aを除いては上記第1の実施の形態と同様であるから、共通する構成要素には同一の符号を付して、その説明は省略する。
(Third embodiment)
Next, a third embodiment of the leakage detection trip unit will be described. The leakage detection trip unit 4 in the present embodiment is the same as that of the first embodiment except for the connection terminal portion 7a of the main circuit bar 7, and therefore, common constituent elements are denoted by the same reference numerals. Therefore, the description is omitted.

図5に示すように、接続端子部7aは電路の経路に沿って複数本の溝を有している。したがって、図6に示すように、電路が経路沿いに屈折していても、図7に示すように、端子ねじ2によって接続端子部3bの端子板に固定したとき、締め付け力によって電路は溝を中心に変形する。これによって、接続端子部7aと接続端子部3bとの接触面積が大きくなる。   As shown in FIG. 5, the connecting terminal portion 7a has a plurality of grooves along the path of the electric circuit. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 6, even if the electric circuit is refracted along the path, as shown in FIG. 7, when the terminal screw 2 is fixed to the terminal plate of the connection terminal portion 3b, the electric circuit causes the groove to be sunk by the tightening force. Deforms to the center. This increases the contact area between the connection terminal portion 7a and the connection terminal portion 3b.

次に、漏電検出引外しユニット4の作用について説明する。
接続端子部7aに溝が形成されているため、固定時の締め付け力による変形が許容される。この変形を伴いつつ接続端子部7aが接続端子部3bの端子板によって挟み込まれる。これによって、接触面積が大きくなり、接触抵抗値が低下し、発熱量が低減する。以上のように、漏電検出引外しユニット4は、接続端子部7aの接触面積が大きくなっているため、接触抵抗による発熱は抑制される。したがって、接続端子部7aの温度上昇値の低減が可能になる。
Next, the operation of the leakage detection trip unit 4 will be described.
Since the groove is formed in the connection terminal portion 7a, deformation due to the tightening force at the time of fixation is allowed. With this deformation, the connection terminal portion 7a is sandwiched between the terminal plates of the connection terminal portion 3b. As a result, the contact area increases, the contact resistance value decreases, and the heat generation amount decreases. As described above, since the leakage detection trip unit 4 has a large contact area of the connection terminal portion 7a, heat generation due to contact resistance is suppressed. Therefore, the temperature rise value of the connection terminal portion 7a can be reduced.

以上説明したように、第3の実施の形態によれば、上記第1の実施の形態による(1)、(3)の効果と同様の効果に加え、以下の効果を奏することができる。
(7)接続端子部7aは電路の経路に沿って溝を有する。このため、接続端子部7aが仮に経路沿いに屈折していても、端子ねじ2による締め付け力が作用したときに溝を中心として電路が変形するので、接触面積が増えて接触抵抗値が低下し、発熱量が低減する。
As described above, according to the third embodiment, in addition to the same effects as the effects (1) and (3) according to the first embodiment, the following effects can be achieved.
(7) The connection terminal portion 7a has a groove along the path of the electric circuit. For this reason, even if the connection terminal portion 7a is refracted along the path, the electric path is deformed around the groove when the tightening force by the terminal screw 2 is applied, so that the contact area increases and the contact resistance value decreases. The calorific value is reduced.

(8)接続端子部7aに溝を形成して表面積を増やすことで、電路まわりの放熱量も増加する。したがって、電路の温度上昇値を低減することができる。
(第4の実施の形態)
次に、漏電検出引外しユニットの第4の実施の形態について説明する。
(8) By increasing the surface area by forming a groove in the connection terminal portion 7a, the amount of heat dissipated around the electric circuit also increases. Therefore, the temperature rise value of the electric circuit can be reduced.
(Fourth embodiment)
Next, a fourth embodiment of the leakage detection trip unit will be described.

図8に示すように、本実施の形態における漏電検出引外しユニット4は、接続端子部7aに先端キャップ11がかぶせられている。なお、先端キャップ11が備わっている点を除いては上記第1の実施の形態と同様であるから、共通する構成要素には同一の符号を付して、その説明は省略する。   As shown in FIG. 8, the leakage detection trip unit 4 in the present embodiment has a tip cap 11 covering the connection terminal portion 7a. In addition, since it is the same as that of the said 1st Embodiment except the point provided with the front-end | tip cap 11, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected to a common component and the description is abbreviate | omitted.

図9に示すように、接続端子部7aは金属で構成され、電路の接触部形状が平面である先端キャップ11が接続端子部7aにかぶせるような形で備えられている。この先端キャップ11も金属等の導電性材料によって構成されている。したがって、回路遮断器3の接続端子部3bに固定されるとき、先端キャップ11の平面部分が接続端子部3bの端子板によって挟み込まれ、これにより、接触面積が大きくなる。つまり、接続端子部7aが細くても、先端キャップ11によって接触面積が大きくなる。   As shown in FIG. 9, the connection terminal portion 7a is made of metal, and is provided in such a shape that a tip cap 11 having a flat contact portion shape of the electric circuit covers the connection terminal portion 7a. The tip cap 11 is also made of a conductive material such as metal. Therefore, when it fixes to the connection terminal part 3b of the circuit breaker 3, the plane part of the front-end | tip cap 11 is inserted | pinched by the terminal board of the connection terminal part 3b, and, thereby, a contact area becomes large. That is, even if the connection terminal portion 7 a is thin, the contact area is increased by the tip cap 11.

次に、漏電検出引外しユニット4の作用について説明する。
接続端子部7aにかぶせられる先端キャップ11の接触部形状は平面であるため、接続端子部7aが細くても、接触面積が大きくなる。これにより、接触抵抗による発熱量が少なく、接続端子部7aの温度上昇値は低減される。以上のように、漏電検出引外しユニット4は、先端キャップ11によって間接的に接続端子部7aの接触面積が大きいので、接続端子部7aの温度上昇値の低減が可能になる。
Next, the operation of the leakage detection trip unit 4 will be described.
Since the shape of the contact portion of the tip cap 11 that covers the connection terminal portion 7a is a flat surface, the contact area increases even if the connection terminal portion 7a is thin. Thereby, there is little calorific value by contact resistance, and the temperature rise value of the connecting terminal part 7a is reduced. As described above, since the leakage detection trip unit 4 has a large contact area of the connection terminal portion 7a indirectly by the tip cap 11, the temperature rise value of the connection terminal portion 7a can be reduced.

以上説明したように、第4の実施の形態によれば、上記第1の実施の形態による(1)〜(3)の効果と同様の効果に加え、以下の効果を奏することができる。
(9)先端キャップ11により、回路遮断器3の接続端子部3bとの接触面積が増加するので、接触抵抗による発熱量が低減される。
As described above, according to the fourth embodiment, in addition to the same effects as the effects (1) to (3) according to the first embodiment, the following effects can be achieved.
(9) Since the contact area with the connection terminal portion 3b of the circuit breaker 3 is increased by the tip cap 11, the amount of heat generated by the contact resistance is reduced.

As described above, the leakage detection trip unit 4 has a large cross-sectional area in the section between the ZCT penetrating portion and the terminal plate 8, and the amount of heat generated by the main circuit bar 7 during energization is reduced. Therefore, the temperature rise value of the connection terminal portion 7a can be reduced.

(11)ZCT9と負荷端子部4a(端子板8が接続される箇所)との間にある電路の断面積を大きくできるため、電路全体の端子間抵抗が小さくなり、発熱量の低減が可能になる。
As described above, according to the fifth embodiment, in addition to the same effects as the effects (1) to (3) according to the first embodiment, the following effects can be achieved.
(11) Since the cross-sectional area of the electric circuit between the ZCT 9 and the load terminal portion 4a (where the terminal plate 8 is connected) can be increased, the inter-terminal resistance of the entire electric circuit is reduced, and the amount of heat generation can be reduced. Become.

(12)ZCT9のサイズを電路の断面積に応じて変更せずに接触抵抗による発熱を低減可能である。つまり、ZCT9の部品共通化が可能となる。
(13)電路の断面積を大きくして表面積を増やすことで、電路まわりの放熱量も増加する。したがって、電路の温度上昇値を低減することができる。
(12) Heat generation due to contact resistance can be reduced without changing the size of the ZCT 9 according to the cross-sectional area of the electric circuit. That is, ZCT9 parts can be shared.
(13) By increasing the cross-sectional area of the electric circuit and increasing the surface area, the amount of heat released around the electric circuit is also increased. Therefore, the temperature rise value of the electric circuit can be reduced.
