Description
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of miniature circuit breaker that is used for overcurrent protection and short-circuit protection.
Background technology
In each unit of miniature circuit breaker, contact system, arc quenching system, operating mechanism and free tripping mechanism, over-current protection system, short circuit protection system, insulation crust, operating grip etc. have been comprised.The moving contact that operating mechanism is driven in the contact system by operating grip moves, and miniature circuit breaker is connected and disjunction, realizes the control to electric wiring; By sensing, electric wiring is transshipped, implements during fault such as short circuit protection to the thermal effect and the magnetic effect of electric current.
When dynamic/static contact contact and when enough contact pressures are arranged, miniature circuit breaker is connected electric loop, and the variation of the local temperature by bimetallic element sensing miniature circuit breaker is judged and the size of current of circuit system realized excess current protective function.When loop current remains on load current value that miniature circuit breaker sets and when following, it is very little that the thermal effect that this electric current produces makes bimetallic element produce thermal deformation, can not promote free tripping mechanism and trip; When the electric current in loop surpassed the rated current of setting, the bimetallic element temperature of miniature circuit breaker raise, and can produce enough thermal deformations; the promotion free tripping mechanism is triped; moving contact is opened under the effect of spring fast, cuts off current circuit, realizes excess current protective function.
Short circuit protection system is by the variation of solenoid electromagnet sensing loop electric current, when loop current is in normal value or when the short-circuit protection value of setting is following, the electromagnetic attraction that solenoid electromagnet produces can not overcome the active force of reaction spring, and moving iron core remains on initial position under the active force of reaction spring; When current circuit is short-circuited fault; electric current sharply increases; the electromagnetic attraction that solenoid electromagnet produces overcomes the active force of reaction spring; moving iron core promotes push rod; and act on free tripping mechanism, and free tripping mechanism is triped, moving contact is opened under the effect of spring fast; cut off current circuit, realize short-circuit protection function.
The effect of free tripping mechanism is when there is the signal of overcurrent fault or other No switching on order in the loop, even the handle of operation miniature circuit breaker desires to make it to close a floodgate, the moving contact of miniature circuit breaker still remains on open position; When the loop exists overcurrent or short trouble and when sending the disjunction instruction, miniature circuit breaker threaded off, cut off current circuit.
The effect of operating mechanism is the active force that transmits operating grip, drives the moving contact motion in the contact system, realizes connecting and disjunction; To reach between dynamic/static contact and keep enough contact pressures in order to make, moving contact will have enough excess of stroke; In dynamic/static contact disconnection process,, require moving contact that enough opening speeds will be arranged in order to realize metering function; In order to make miniature circuit breaker enough dielectric strengths be arranged when the off-state, must make to have enough electric clearances between dynamic/static contact.
The effect of arc quenching system be when miniature circuit breaker when disconnecting excessive short circuit current, by effect, realize that the restriction electric current continues the trend that increases, i.e. metering function, and arc extinction the most at last to electric arc.When electric arc enters arc control device, be separated into many sections by the metal gate sheet in the arc control device, every section electric arc all produces a proximal pole voltage near the metal gate sheet, the pressure drop of whole electric arc is improved rapidly, and electric arc is extinguished rapidly.
A plurality of one pole miniature circuit breakers constitute the multipole small-size circuit breaker by operating grip, free tripping mechanism etc. is connected as one.The multipole small-size circuit breaker is realized multipole simultaneous operation by the operating grip that connects as one; When disconnecting, realize that by the reciprocal interlocking free tripping mechanism multipole small-size circuit breaker disconnects synchronously when producing fault at least one minimal type circuit breaker.
In traditional miniature circuit breaker, even operating mechanism and free tripping mechanism mechanically still connect together behind trip free, when short circuit breaking, time has only tens microseconds, the mechanism that connects together may influence the break-time of mechanism, even have only the influence of several microseconds, also be very large to effect of arc, this influence is should be not uncared-for.
In addition, in the arc quenching system of traditional miniature circuit breaker, when the disjunction short circuit current, electric arc is before entering arc control device, finish from shifting between guide arc plate and the arc leading angle between dynamic/static contact, and through leading the arc road between arc plate and the arc leading angle, just can enter arc control device, in this process, the arc root of electric arc is transferred to the moment of leading the arc plate from moving contact, and sudden change has taken place in the loop that produces the magnetic blow-out effect, and the magnetic blow-out effect in loop to the electric power of electric arc a sudden change can take place also, the electric power of magnetic blow-out effect has weakened, and electric arc enters arc control device and becomes more difficult through leading arc road between arc plate and the arc leading angle.
Molded insulation crust is still installed the support of various parts except the basic insulation that miniature circuit breaker is provided, therefore, molded insulation crust must have enough electrical strengths and mechanical strength, could satisfy the performance requirement of miniature circuit breaker.
