Abstract
Description
- Magnetothermal circuit breakers use kinematic systems which allow the moving contact to open and close both by actuating an external crossbar which can be accessed by the user and by virtue of the automatic intervention of the protection devices provided internally.
- The two constant problems in the design of these circuit breakers are the complexity of the mechanisms and their dimensions.
- The need is constantly felt to simplify the kinematic systems from the constructive point of view in order to allow low-cost production, and in this regard it is also very important to achieve simple and automatable assembly.
- Another basic problem is to improve the performance of circuit breakers while maintaining compact dimensions which should in any case be within the standards.
- The aim of the present invention is to provide a magnetothermal circuit breaker with improved electrical characteristics.
- An object of the invention is to provide a circuit breaker which can be manufactured more cheaply than conventional ones and at the same time has an improved performance.
- Another object is to provide a circuit breaker which is more reliable in use.
- This aim, these objects and others which will become apparent hereinafter are achieved by a magnetothermal circuit breaker as claimed in the appended claims.
- Further characteristics and advantages will become apparent from the description of a preferred but not exclusive embodiment of the invention, illustrated only by way of non-limitative example in the accompanying drawings, wherein:
- FIG. 1 is a side elevation view of the circuit breaker with a wall of the casing removed;
- FIG. 2 is a side elevation view of the kinematic system of the moving contact in the open position;

- FIG. 10 is a side elevation view, taken from the opposite side with respect to the preceding views, of the kinematic system of the indicator in the position for normal operation.
-
- With reference to the above figures, the magnetothermal circuit breaker according to the invention, generally designated by the
reference numeral 100, comprises acasing 103, which has a standard shape, and, at therear face 105, forms a coupling means 107 for coupling to an omega-shaped rail (not shown) according to DIN standards. - At the front face, the
casing 103 has aprotrusion 109 in which the actuation member or actuation crossbar 11 is arranged. - The
casing 103 contains anelectrical protection device 110 which is associated with a magnetic trip-offkinematic system 114, a kinematic system for actuating the movingcontact 111, anarc chute 112, a thermal trip-offkinematic system 113, andterminals 115 for the external electrical connections. - In FIG. 1, the
circuit breaker 100 is shown in the closed-contact position, in which the movingcontact 50 rests on the fixedcontact 51. - The operation for closing the circuit breaker occurs as follows.
- From the open position, shown in FIG. 2, the crossbar 11 is actuated and the link rod of the crossbar descends, sliding on the
engagement lever 3, which is kept in a fixed position being rigidly coupled both to itsfulcrum 41 and to theactuation lever 4. In this manner, thespring holder 2 is lowered and loads thedriving spring 8 and thecontact spring 6. - The moving
contact 50 begins to rotate until its rear part strikes the trip-offlever 1, which stops the contact so that the pad remains at a distance of approximately 1 mm from the fixed contact, as shown more clearly in FIG. 3. As the rotation of the crossbar 11 continues, thecoupling point 31 between thelink rod 12 of the crossbar and the crossbar 11 makes contact with the right end of the trip-offlever 1, turning it and thus releasing the contact which, under the pressure of thecontact spring 6, can close with a constant force which is independent of the force applied to the crossbar during the closure maneuver (independent closure). The motion of the trip-off lever 1 also loads thecatch spring 7, which returns the trip-offlever 1 to the initial position once it has disengaged from the crossbar. - The maneuver for opening the circuit breaker is performed in the following manner.
- From the closed position, shown in FIG. 4, the crossbar 11. is actuated by the
crossbar link rod 12 and thespring holder 2 is returned to the initial open position, as shown in FIG. 2. By rotating, thespring holder 2 abuts against the moving contact at thepoint 32, bringing it to the open position, as clearly shown in FIG. 2. During the motion of thespring holder 2, thecontact spring 6 and thedriving spring 8 are partially released. - The emergency thermal tripping occurs as follows.
- From the closed position, shown in FIG. 5, reference should be made to the motion of the
bimetallic member 15 toward the thermal trip-offlinkage 13. When thebimetallic member 15 makes contact with the thermal trip-offlinkage 13, which by moving pushes theactuation lever 4, acting on aninclined plane 33, and theactuation lever 4 turns clockwise, releasing theengagement lever 3. In this manner theengagement lever 3 moves into the position shown in FIG. 6. Thespring holder 2 rotates under the action of thedriving spring 8 and theactuation lever 4 turns clockwise. Theengagement lever 3 is in fact coupled to theactuation lever 4 at its lower end on theplane 44. - The
actuation lever 4 is provided with a slot which can be engaged by a pivot for the functional connection of a separate electric module, allowing the cascade tripping of the module or modules associated with the circuit breaker. A second wing of thecatch spring 7 is also loaded, returning theengagement lever 3 to the initial configuration once the crossbar is in the tripped position, by virtue of a spring (not shown) located inside the crossbar. The actuation spring 9 is also loaded, returning the actuation lever to the initial position (reset). - The initial position of the thermal trip-
off linkage 13 can be adjusted by means of the thermal trip-offadjustment screw 14, which by acting on the thermal trip-offlinkage support 10, contrasted by thedriving spring 8, can raise or lower the thermal trip-offlinkage 13, which moves toward or away from thebimetallic member 15. It is thus possible to achieve an effective pre-positioning of the thermal trip-offlinkage 13. - Emergency magnetic tripping occurs as follows.
- From the closed position, shown in FIG. 7, in case of magnetic tripping the
pusher 116 moves to the position shown in FIG. 8, pushing upward the magnetic trip-offhook 5 which, by rotating counterclockwise and being coupled to theactuation lever 4 at thepoint 35, causes the rotation of the lever, thus activating the release sequence as already described in the preceding paragraph. During the rotation, the magnetic trip-off hook 5 strikes, with its right end, against the lower part of the movingcontact 50, making it open faster. The repositioning of the magnetic trip-off pusher 116 also is achieved by means of the magnetic trip-offhook 5, which is contrasted by the magnetic trip-offspring 17, which is released during the intervention. The magnetic trip-off spring can be adjusted by virtue of the magnetic trip-off adjustment screw 18, allowing to vary the intervention threshold. - The circuit breaker according to the invention also includes a device for indicating the position of the moving contact, shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, which includes an
indicator 60 which is connected to the movingcontact 50 by means of alinkage 61, so that the indicator, provided with colored parts in a per se known manner, indicates the position of the moving contact 50 (open, as in FIG. 9, or closed, as in FIG. 10) regardless of the position of the actuation crossbar 11. Advantageously, theindicator 60 and the linkage are monolithically made of plastics. - The advantage of this solution is that it provides an exact indication of the state of the circuit breaker even when the crossbar is in the open position but the contact is instead closed, for example because the moving contact has stuck to the fixed contact.
- An important advantage of the present invention is the possibility of mechanically adjusting the position of the thermal trip-off
linkage 13 of the circuit breaker by means of thescrew 14. This allows much faster and more reliable adjustment, reducing the production costs of the circuit breaker. - It is also noted that the
arc chute 112 can be made of 14 elements and still maintain compact dimensions for the circuit breaker. - In practice it has been found that the invention achieves the intended aim and objects.
- The circuit breaker according to the invention is susceptible of numerous modifications and variations, all of which are within the scope of the inventive concept; all the details may furthermore be replaced with technically equivalent elements.
- The materials used, as well as the dimensions, may of course be any according to the requirements and the state of the art.
