Definitions
- the invention relates to a circuit breaker, in particular a motor protection switch, with an actuating mechanism for closing and opening main contacts, with current sensors for detecting the phase currents and with an evaluation unit which processes the recorded values of the phase currents, compares them with adjustable error criteria and when the error criteria are exceeded triggers the actuating mechanism via a trigger magnet by outputting a trigger signal
- Motor protection switches are designed with multiple poles according to document DE 35 45 930 A1 and have a corresponding number of main contacts.
- the main contacts are closed or opened by an actuating mechanism either by hand or by a motor drive.
- the bimetallic or magnetic triggers respond, which in turn release the latching device connected to the actuating mechanism and thus trigger the actuating mechanism, which leads to the opening of the main contacts.
- a low-voltage circuit breaker with an electronic evaluation unit evaluates the instantaneous values of the phase currents flowing via the main contacts, which are detected via electromagnetic current sensors. If the adjustable overload values are exceeded, a delayed and if a short circuit occurs, an essentially undelayed trigger signal is sent to a trigger magnet, the armature of which then triggers the actuating mechanism by releasing the latching device.
- the invention has for its object to improve protection for motorized systems.
- the evaluation of an electrical monitoring variable which is provided by a temperature-dependent resistor connected to the motor-operated system to be switched and protected, and by switching off the motor, which is brought about by exceeding a critical temperature within the motor-operated system, with the extended evaluation unit a protective function is provided which also exists in addition to the usual protective functions based on the evaluation of the motor current.
- the temperature-dependent resistor for example a thermistor, is attached either in the motor itself or within the driven system, for example at a temperature-critical bearing point.
- the circuit breaker according to the invention represents a convenient alternative to the known combination of a contactor and an electronic motor protection relay with a thermistor monitoring function.
- the invention enables an effective combination of the direct temperature monitoring function with the disconnector and main switch properties, such as the lockability of the handle of the circuit breaker ,
- auxiliary relay and / or a lighting element is connected to the evaluation unit.
- Auxiliary relay and, if appropriate, lighting element can advantageously be arranged in an additional module to be fitted to the circuit breaker.
- FIG. 1 in spatial representation an embodiment of the circuit breaker according to the invention
- FIG. 2 shows a basic illustration of the circuit breaker from FIG. 1.
- FIG. 1 shows a three-pole motor protection switch as a circuit breaker 2 with a switch housing 4, a rotatable handle 6 mounted on the front for switching on and off, main connections 8 on the input side for feed lines and main connections 10 on the output side for supply lines to a motor as a consumer.
- a setting regulator 12 is arranged on the front.
- An additional module 14 is snapped onto the switch housing 4 from the front.
- the additional module 14 has two measuring terminals 16 and two signaling terminals 18 and an LED lighting element 20.
- the switch housing 4 there is a separable connection for all three poles from the main connections 8 on the feed side, via main contacts 22, to the main connections 10 on the consumer side Work machine, connected.
- the main contacts 22 are opened and closed via an actuating mechanism 24 (also called a switch lock) either by means of the handle 6 or opened automatically when the phase currents flowing through the main contacts 22 exceed adjustable error criteria.
- the instantaneous values of the phase currents are measured by a current sensor 26, for example an electromagnetic current transformer, and are fed to an electronic evaluation unit 28.
- the evaluation unit 28 converts the measured current values into digital data and compares them with an adjustable error criterion, for example a limit value for the overload permissible for the motor 11.
- the relevant error criterion is set with the setting controller 12, for example by accessing an adjusting resistor of the evaluation unit 28.
- the evaluation unit 28 outputs a trigger signal to excite a trigger magnet 30, the armature of which then triggers the actuating mechanism 24, whereupon the main contacts 22 are opened and thus the motor 11 is automatically switched off.
- the additional module 14 connected to the switch housing 4 is electrically connected to the evaluation unit 28 via a plug connector 32.
- a temperature-dependent resistor in the form of a thermistor 34 is embedded in the stator of the motor 11 as a thermal sensor.
- the electrical monitoring variable (current, voltage or resistance) supplied by the thermistor 34 is led to the evaluation unit 28 via the measuring terminals 16.
- the monitoring variable for example the resistance value, is continuously detected via the evaluation unit 28. If the monitoring variable shows a significant change as a result of inadmissible heating of the motor 11, the evaluation unit 28 also emits a trigger signal which excites the trigger magnet 30 in this case. This triggers the actuation mechanism 24 and the subsequent opening of the main contacts 22 causes the thermally endangered motor 11 to be switched off.
- the circuit breaker 2 has the usual protection options against overload and possibly against short circuit and offers additional protection by evaluating the motor temperature detected directly by the thermistor 34.
- the lighting element 20 is activated via activated outputs 36 of the evaluation unit 28, so that the excess of the permissible temperature in the motor 11 is signaled optically at the circuit breaker 2.
- the relay coil 38 of an auxiliary relay 40 arranged in the additional module 14 is excited via the activated outputs 36, as a result of which the associated relay contact 42 is actuated.
- the motor 11 is switched off, signal lines connected to the relay Contact 42 connected signaling terminals 18 are connected, the exceeding of the permissible motor temperature can be reported remotely.
- the monitoring variable detected by the evaluation unit 28 can be taken from a temperature-dependent resistor, which is attached at a critical point within the machine or system operated by the motor 11, in particular at a bearing threatened by hot running.
- the present invention is also not limited to the embodiment described above.
- the measuring terminals 16, the signaling terminals 18, the lighting element 20 and the auxiliary relay 40 do not necessarily have to be part of an additional component, but can be connected individually, in combination or as a whole to the switch housing 4.
- the lighting element 20 or the auxiliary relay 40 and the signaling terminals 18 can be dispensed with.
