Definitions
- the present invention relates to an earth leakage breaker and an arc detection device, and more particularly, to an earth leakage breaker and an arc detection device detachable thereto.
- an earth leakage breaker is a device installed in a distribution panel and used to prevent electric shock accidents caused by a short circuit or various safety accidents caused by fire and overcurrent. That is, the earth leakage breaker detects an electric leakage occurring on the line and sends a trip signal to the trip coil to trip the breaker when the electric leakage amount exceeds the set value.
- the arc current generated on a line with a load is usually within the rated current.
- the arc current is divided into a series arc and a parallel arc, since a series arc generated by a load break or a poor contact flows through the load current, the magnitude of the arc current is usually within the rated current range, and when a short circuit current (parallel arc) occurs due to a short circuit. Even though there is usually a certain amount of impedance at the short circuit, a low short-circuit current of less than 1kA usually flows. However, even such small arc currents can lead to fire if flammable materials are present in the vicinity.

- the main body 120 determines that leakage current flows, and according to the command of the first control unit 28, current flows through the trip coil 26 to magnetize, and the circuit breaker 25 operates to cut off the circuit. .
- FIGS. 8 and 9 illustrate a perspective view and an internal circuit block diagram of an earth leakage breaker main body 240 and an arc detection module 240 according to another embodiment of the present invention.
- the basic configuration of the main body 220 and the arc detection module 240 will be omitted in the case of the same as the first embodiment.
- the earth leakage breaker main body 220 includes a power supply terminal 23, a first load side terminal 21, a breaker 25, a first power supply 27, a first control unit 28, a switch element 29, and an earth leakage detector ( 30) and the like.
- a switch terminal hole 225 is formed in a part of the enclosure 39 of the main body 220.
- the switch terminal hole 225 may be formed above the first load side terminal hole 22.
- Switch terminals 226 and 227 are disposed in the switch terminal hole 225, respectively.
- the switch terminals 226 and 227 are terminals respectively connected to both ends of the switch element 29. Since the switch terminals 226 and 227 are connected to the switch element 29, when an input (current) is generated in the switch terminals 226 and 227, the switch element 29 of the main body 20 is operated.
- the terminal hole 246 is formed in the enclosure 49 of the arc detection module 240.
- the terminal hole 246 may be formed on the connection terminal hole 42.
- Output terminals 257 and 258 are disposed in the terminal hole 246, respectively.
- the terminal holes 246 and the output terminals 257 and 258 of the arc detection module 240 correspond to the switch terminal holes 225 and the switch terminals 226 and 227 of the main body 220, respectively.
- the output terminals 257, 258 are automatically connected to the switch terminals 226, 227.
- the arc detection module 240 includes a connection terminal 41, a second load-side terminal 43, a second power supply unit 45, a second control unit 50, an output unit 55, an arc detection unit 60, and a second test.
- the unit 65, the display unit 70, and the like are configured. Each detailed component will be omitted if it is the same as the previous embodiment.
- the output part 55 is provided.
- the anode and the cathode of the output unit 55 are connected to the anode and the cathode of the switch element 29, respectively. That is, the negative output terminal 257 of the output unit 55 is connected to the negative switch terminal 226 of the main body 220, and the positive output terminal 258 of the output unit 55 is the positive switch of the main body 220. Is connected to a terminal 227. Therefore, when an output signal is generated in the output unit 55, the same effect as turning on the switch element 29 of the main body 120 is achieved. As a result, the trip coil 26 is operated in the main body 20.
- the arc detection module 240 detects an arc and the output unit 55 outputs an output signal
- the second power supply unit 45, the output unit 55, and the switch element 29 are closed so that the current I3 flows. Accordingly, in the main body 220, a current flows through the trip coil 26 to magnetize, and the breaker 25 operates to cut off the circuit.
- the leakage current determination process is omitted and the switch element is directly operated.
- the earth leakage breaker is detachable and the module having the arc detection function is independently provided so that it can be selectively applied to the earth leakage breaker.
- Such an arc detection module can be applied through a minimal change such as not changing a current leakage circuit breaker or configuring a terminal connection part.
