Embodiment 1 FIG.
A circuit breaker according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention will be described below. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a circuit breaker 1 according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention. In FIG. 1, the circuit breaker 1 includes an operation confirmation tripping device (hereinafter simply referred to as a tripping device) 2 mounted on an outer surface of a casing 100 including a base 101 and a cover 102. . The circuit breaker 1 shown here is a three-phase circuit breaker connected to a three-phase circuit, but may be other circuit breakers.

  Although not shown in the figure, the circuit breaker 1 includes an open / close contact comprising a fixed contact and a movable contact for opening / closing the electric circuit, an operation mechanism for opening / closing the open / close contact by operating the operation handle, and an electric circuit having a predetermined value or more. And an overcurrent tripping device that releases the open / close contact in the closed state when the overcurrent flows.

  The trip device 2 includes a circuit to be described later, and energizes the shunt coil of the circuit breaker 1 by closing a trip switch 8 provided at a remote location with respect to the circuit breaker 1, for example. The trip mechanism can be operated to open the circuit.

  The tripping device 2 includes three input terminals 3, 4, and 5, and an operation indicator lamp 6 composed of a light emitting diode. One end of an AC power source 7 as a control power source for operating the tripping device 2 is connected to the input terminal 5 of the tripping device 2 and the other end is connected to the input terminal 4 of the tripping device 2. The other end of the AC power source 7 is connected to the input terminal 3 of the trip device 2 via the trip switch 8 described above.

FIG. 2 is a circuit diagram of the tripping device in the circuit breaker according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention. In FIG. 2, the first power conversion circuit 201 formed of a converter has an input side terminal connected to the input terminals 4 and 5 of the trip device 2 via a resistor. Similarly, the second power conversion circuit 202 composed of a converter has an input side terminal connected to the input terminals 3 and 5 of the trip device 2 via a resistor. The first power conversion circuit 201 and the second power conversion circuit 202 each convert AC power from the AC power source 7 into DC power, and output the DC power from the output side terminals via the constant voltage elements 203 and 204, respectively.

  The operation indicator lamp 6 as the operation display unit is connected between the output terminals of the first power conversion circuit 201 via the first thyristor 55. The gate of the first thyristor 55 is connected to the collector of the first transistor 205 via a resistor. The emitter of the first transistor 205 is connected to the positive terminal of the first power conversion circuit 201 via the second transistor 206, and the collector is connected to the negative terminal of the first power conversion circuit 201 via a resistor. And grounded. The base of the first transistor 205 is connected to the output terminal of the photocoupler 51 via a resistor.

  The capacitor 207 is connected between the output terminals of the first power conversion circuit 201 via the second transistor 206, and is charged to a predetermined voltage by the output of the first power conversion circuit 201. The reset switch 43 is connected to the base of the second transistor 206 and closes to turn off the second transistor 206. The input terminal of the photocoupler 51 described above is connected between the output terminals of the second power conversion circuit 202 via the third transistor 208. The second thyristor 56 is connected in series to the shunt coil 103 that trips the circuit breaker 1.

  In the circuit breaker according to the present invention configured as described above, it is assumed that the circuit breaker 1 is in an ON state and its movable contact is in contact with the fixed contact to close the electric circuit to be protected. At this time, AC power from the AC power supply 7 is converted into DC power by the first power conversion circuit 201 and supplied to the capacitor 207 via the second transistor 206, and the capacitor 207 is charged to a predetermined voltage. It is in the state. The second transistor 206 is turned off when the capacitor 207 is charged to a predetermined voltage.

  On the other hand, the second power conversion circuit 202 is inoperative because the trip switch 8 connected to the trip device 2 is open, and no DC power is output between its output terminals. Therefore, the photocoupler 51 is inoperative, the second thyristor 56 is non-conductive because the photocoupler 51 is off and no gate signal is applied, and the shunt coil 103 of the circuit breaker 1 is in the de-energized state. It is in.

  Furthermore, since the photocoupler 51 is inoperative, the first transistor 205 is off, the first thyristor 55 is not supplied with a gate signal, and is in a non-conductive state, and is an operation indicator light composed of a light emitting diode. 6 is turned off. Therefore, it can be confirmed that the tripping device 2 is not in operation because the operation indicator lamp 6 is turned off. Moreover, it can be confirmed that the circuit breaker 1 is in the ON state by the operation handle being in the ON position.

  The circuit breaker 1 can be switched from an on-state to an off-state or from an off-state to an on-state by an operation mechanism (not shown), and is shown when an overcurrent flows in the electric circuit. No trip mechanism can be used to turn off and protect the circuit. The normal switching operation of the circuit breaker 1 and the trip operation due to overcurrent are performed irrespective of the operation of the trip device 2, and the operation indicator lamp 6 indicating the operation of the trip device 2 remains off. is there. Therefore, if the operation handle of the circuit breaker 1 is in the off position or the trip position when the operation indicator lamp 6 is not lit, it is determined that the circuit breaker 1 is in the off state or the trip state due to its original function. Is possible.

  Next, for example, when the trip switch 8 is closed for the purpose of testing the function of the circuit breaker 1, the AC power supply 7 is connected to the second power conversion circuit 202. As a result, the second power conversion circuit 202 converts AC power from the AC power source 7 into DC power and outputs DC power between its output terminals. The third transistor 208 is turned on in response to DC power generated between the output terminals of the second power conversion circuit 202, and the photocoupler 51 is turned on. As a result, the second thyristor 56 is turned on when a gate signal is applied, the shunt coil 103 of the circuit breaker 1 is energized, and the circuit breaker 1 is turned off.

On the other hand, when the photocoupler 51 is turned on, the first transistor 205 is turned on, and the first thyristor 55 is supplied with a gate signal via the first transistor 205 and moves. As a result, the operation indicator lamp 6 is turned on. Accordingly, if the operation handle of the circuit breaker 1 is in the trip position when the operation indicator lamp 6 is lit, it is possible to determine that the circuit breaker 1 is tripped by the operation of the trip device 2. is there.

The trip switch 8 is constituted by a normally-off type self-returning switch, and is automatically turned off when the pressing force disappears after being turned on by being pressed by an operator. Therefore, the output generation period of the second power conversion circuit 202 is short, and the photocoupler 51 is turned on only in a short time. However, as soon as the photocoupler 51 is turned on, the gate is connected to the gate of the second thyristor 56. Given the signal, the second thyristor 56 conducts and the circuit breaker 1 trips.

Further, by the photocoupler 51 is turned on, the first thyristor 55 operation indicator 6 by conduction is turned as described above, the first transistor 205 is immediately turned off if the photocoupler 51 is turned off Thus, no gate signal is applied to the gate of the first thyristor 55. However, even if the first thyristor 55 is once turned on and no longer receives a gate signal, the first thyristor 55 is not turned off unless the current flowing through the first thyristor 55 becomes zero. In other words, after the first thyristor 55 is turned on once the gate signal is applied, the continuity of the first thyristor 55 is maintained and the operation indicator lamp 6 continues to be lit.

  To turn off the lit operation indicator lamp 6, the reset switch 43 is turned on. That is, when the reset switch 43 is turned on, the second transistor 206 is turned off, and the current flowing through the first thyristor 55 becomes zero. Therefore, the first thyristor 55 is turned off and the operation indicator lamp 6 is turned off. To do.

  As described above, according to the circuit breaker according to the first embodiment of the present invention, whether the circuit breaker is opened by the tripping device operated by the signal from the outside, or by the original circuit protection function of the circuit breaker. It is possible to easily determine whether the circuit has been opened.

The leakage test device 32 as an operation check trip device includes a circuit to be described later, and, for example, by closing a remote test switch 38 provided at a remote location with respect to the circuit breaker 31, as described later. A pseudo leakage current is allowed to flow through the circuit breaker 31 , the trip mechanism of the circuit breaker 31 is operated, and the electric circuit can be opened.

  The leakage test device 32 includes three input terminals 33, 34, and 35, and an operation indicator lamp 36 composed of a light emitting diode. An AC power source 37 as a control power source for operating the leakage test device 32 has one end connected to the input terminal 35 of the leakage test device 32 and the other end connected to the input terminal 34 of the leakage test device 32. The other end of the AC power source 37 is connected to the input terminal 33 of the leakage test device 32 via the remote test switch 38 described above.

FIG. 6 is a circuit diagram of a circuit breaker and its leakage test apparatus according to Embodiment 4 of the present invention. In FIG. 6, the first power conversion circuit 311 formed of a converter has an input side terminal connected to input terminals 34 and 35 of the leakage test device 32 via a resistor. Similarly, the second power conversion circuit 312 formed of a converter has an input side terminal connected to the input terminals 33 and 35 of the leakage test device 32 via a resistor. The first power conversion circuit 311 and the second power conversion circuit 312 each convert AC power from the AC power source 37 into DC power, and output the DC power from the output side terminals via the constant voltage elements 313 and 314, respectively.

  The operation indicator lamp 36 as an operation display unit is connected between the output terminals of the first power conversion circuit 311 via the thyristor 45. The gate of the thyristor 45 is connected to the collector of the first transistor 315 via a resistor. The emitter of the first transistor 315 is connected to the positive terminal of the first power conversion circuit 311 via the second transistor 316, and the collector is connected to the negative terminal of the first power conversion circuit 311 via a resistor. Has been. The base of the first transistor 315 is connected to the negative terminal of the first power conversion circuit 311 via the resistor and the second photocoupler 42.

  The capacitor 318 is connected between the output terminals of the first power conversion circuit 311 via the second transistor 316, and is charged to a predetermined voltage by the output of the first power conversion circuit 311. The reset switch 43 is connected to the base of the second transistor 316 and closes to turn off the second transistor 316. The input terminal of the first photocoupler 41 is connected between the output terminals of the second power conversion circuit 312 via the third transistor 319. The output terminal of the first photocoupler 41 is connected to the input terminal of the second photocoupler 42.

  Next, a circuit breaker 31 configured as an earth leakage breaker includes a zero-phase current transformer 320 including a secondary winding 322 and a tertiary winding 323 that surround a main circuit conductor 321 as a primary conductor; , A leakage detection circuit 324 that detects leakage of the main circuit conductor 321 from the output of the secondary winding 322 of the zero-phase current transformer 320, a fourth transistor 325 that is turned on by the output of the leakage detection circuit 324, The release relay 326 connected in series to the fourth transistor 325, the fifth transistor 327 connected in series to the tertiary winding 323 of the zero-phase current transformer 320, and the base of the fifth transistor 327. A leakage test circuit 44 and a leakage test switch 328 connected to the leakage test circuit 44 are provided.

  The output terminal of the first photocoupler 41 and the input terminal of the second photocoupler 42 provided in the leakage test device 32 are connected in series and connected in parallel to the leakage test switch 328 of the circuit breaker 31. .

The circuit breaker 31 is provided with a power supply circuit 329 for converting AC power from the main circuit conductor 321 to DC power and outputting the DC power. From the power supply circuit 329, the above-described leakage detection circuit 324 and release relay 326 are provided. The DC power is supplied to the input terminals of the fifth transistor 327 and the second photocoupler 42.

  In the circuit breaker according to the fourth embodiment of the present invention configured as described above, the circuit breaker 31 is now in the ON state, and its movable contact contacts the fixed contact to close the electric circuit to be protected. And At this time, AC power from the AC power source 37 is converted into DC power by the first power conversion circuit 311 and supplied to the capacitor 318 via the second transistor 316, and the capacitor 318 is charged to a predetermined voltage. It is in the state. The second transistor 316 is turned off when the capacitor 318 is charged to a predetermined voltage.

  On the other hand, the second power conversion circuit 312 is inoperative because the remote test switch 38 connected to the leakage test device 32 is open, and DC power is not output between its output terminals. Accordingly, the first photocoupler 41 is inoperative and the second photocoupler 42 is off. Therefore, the first transistor 315 is off and the thyristor 45 is non-conductive.

  Further, since the thyristor 45 is non-conductive, the operation indicator lamp 36 constituted by a light emitting diode is turned off. Therefore, it is possible to confirm that the leakage test device 32 is inoperative by the operation indicator lamp 36 being turned off. Further, it can be confirmed that the circuit breaker 31 is in the ON state by the operation handle being in the ON position.

  The circuit breaker 31 can be switched from an on-state to an off-state or from an off-state to an on-state by an operation mechanism (not shown), and when a leakage current flows in the electric circuit, the circuit breaker 31 is not shown. No trip mechanism can be used to turn off and protect the circuit. The normal switching operation of the circuit breaker 31 and the trip operation due to the leakage current are performed regardless of the operation of the leakage test apparatus 32, and the operation indicator lamp 36 indicating the operation of the leakage test apparatus 32 remains off. is there. Therefore, if the operation handle of the circuit breaker 31 is in the off position or the trip position when the operation indicator lamp 36 is not lit, it is determined that the circuit breaker 31 is in the off state or the trip state depending on its original function. Is possible.

  Next, assuming that the remote test switch 38 is closed for the purpose of testing the function of the circuit breaker 31, for example, the AC power source 37 is connected to the second power conversion circuit 312. As a result, the second power conversion circuit 312 converts AC power from the AC power source 37 into DC power, and outputs DC power between its output terminals. The third transistor 319 is turned on in response to the DC power generated between the output terminals of the second power conversion circuit 312, and the first photocoupler 41 is turned on. As a result, the second photocoupler 42 is turned on, the leakage test circuit 44 of the circuit breaker 1 is energized, and the fifth transistor 327 is turned on.

  When the fifth transistor 327 is turned on, a pseudo zero-phase current flows in the tertiary winding 323 of the zero-phase current transformer 320, and the secondary winding 322 and the leakage detection circuit 324 respond to this to output. Occurs and the fourth transistor 325 is turned on. As a result, the release relay 326 operates to cause the circuit breaker 31 to trip.

On the other hand, when the first photocoupler 41 is turned on, the second photocoupler 42 is turned on and the first transistor 315 is turned on. Accordingly, the thyristor 45 conducts given a gate signal through the first transistor. As a result, the operation indicator lamp 36 is turned on. Therefore, if the operation indicator lamp 36 is lit and the operation handle of the circuit breaker 1 is in the trip position, the circuit breaker 1 can be determined to be tripped due to the operation of the leakage test device 32. is there.

The remote test switch 38 is constituted by a self-returning switch that is always off, and after being turned on by being pressed by an operator, the remote test switch 38 is automatically turned off when the pressing force disappears. Therefore, the output generation period of the second power conversion circuit 312 is short, and the first photocoupler 41 is turned on only in a short period of time. However, as soon as the first photocoupler 41 is turned on, the second photocoupler 41 is turned on. photocoupler 42 is turned on, thereby the first transistor 315 is a thyristor 45 gate signal is supplied to the gate of the thyristor 45 turns on conducts and the circuit breaker 31 in the manner described above to trip.

When the first photocoupler 41 is turned on, the thyristor 45 is moved and the operation indicator lamp 36 is lit as described above. However, if the first photocoupler 41 is turned off, the second photocoupler is turned on. Therefore, the first transistor 315 is immediately turned off, and the gate signal is not applied to the gate of the thyristor 45 . However, even if the thyristor 45 is once turned on and no longer receives a gate signal, the thyristor 45 is not turned off unless the current flowing through the thyristor 45 becomes zero. That is, after the thyristor 45 is turned on once the gate signal is applied, the conduction is self-maintained and the operation indicator lamp 36 continues to be lit.

To turn off the lit operation indicator lamp 36, the reset switch 43 is turned on. That is, when the reset switch 43 is turned on, the second transistor 316 is turned off and the current flowing through the thyristor 45 becomes zero, so that the thyristor 45 becomes non-conductive and the operation indicator lamp 36 is turned off.

  As described above, according to the circuit breaker according to the fourth embodiment of the present invention, whether the circuit breaker has been opened by the leakage test device that operates in response to an external signal, or by the original circuit protection function of the circuit breaker. It is possible to easily determine whether the circuit has been opened.

  In the first, second, and fourth embodiments, the same effect can be obtained as a mechanical operation display device instead of the operation indicator lamp 6. In this case, a control power supply for self-holding the operation indicator lamp can be eliminated, and the wiring of the tripping device 22 can be simplified.
