Definitions
- the present disclosure refers to the technical field of electrical installations and, more particularly, regards a moulded case circuit breaker and a method for assembling the same.
- a moulded case circuit breaker as opposed to a circuit breaker of the so-called "open" type, has a housing made of insulating material that, in addition to providing protection against external agents, supports the internal circuits and mechanisms of the circuit breaker and terminals for connection to the external line and load circuits.
- moulded case circuit breakers are generally used as protective devices in the fields of electrical distribution, industrial automation and advanced service fields to interrupt currents having, for example, a value up to 3200 A.
- Some manufacturers in the industry provide the market different types of moulded case circuit breakers with different functions, since, for example, the market requires various types of moulded case circuit breakers, each of which can be equipped or not with an internal residual current protection device.
- One possible type of moulded case circuit breaker is, for example, an automatic circuit breaker with magnetothermic type trip system, which, in practice, comprises only electromechanical devices.
- Another possible type of moulded case circuit breaker is, for example, an automatic circuit breaker with electronic type trip system, wherein the trip system is interlocked with an electronic control. Therefore, a single manufacturer must have different production lines, which results in relatively high product production and management costs.
- the belong to the state of the prior art includes solutions that associate to a moulded case circuit breaker an external residual current protection module connectable to one of the two arrays of electric connection terminals of the moulded case circuit breaker, which makes the final assembly relatively bulky because, for example, there is a significant increase in the height of the final assembly compared to the height of only the moulded case circuit breaker.
- the solution described above is also relatively expensive as it requires the purchase of two separate units, each having their own case, which must be electrically interconnected.
- the document FR 2 681 725 A1 discloses a moulded case circuit breaker according to the preamble of claim 1. The purpose of this disclosure is to provide a moulded case circuit breaker such as to overcome the drawbacks mentioned above with reference to the moulded case circuit breakers of the prior art.
- moulded case circuit breaker as generally defined in claim 1.
- Preferred and advantageous embodiments of said moulded case circuit breaker are defined in the appended dependent claims.
- the moulded case circuit breaker 1 is a multipolar circuit breaker and, in particular, a tripolar circuit breaker. According to a variant embodiment, the moulded case circuit breaker 1 is a four-pole circuit breaker. However, the teachings of this description also extend to a moulded case circuit breaker 1 having a different number of poles, for example unipolar or bipolar.

- front face means the face of the first case 10 that, during normal use of the circuit breaker, is facing the operator and is opposite to an installation wall, for example the wall of an electrical switchboard.
- the rear face 5 of the first case 10 has a protruding portion 6 and a recessed portion 7 that define a step
- the second case 20 is arranged above said protruding portion 6 at the recessed portion 7 for levelling said step and imparting a general outer shape of rectangular parallelepiped to the assembly formed by the first case 10 and the second case 20.

- the first connection terminal T1 and the second connection terminal T2 comprise two portions of bar conductor axially aligned with each other along an axis of alignment Z-Z.
- said bar conductors bar are conductors with quadrangular and, preferably, rectangular section.
- bar conductor means a conductor with a cross-section such as to ensure a certain rigidity to the conductor as opposed to relatively flexible conductors such as wires, cables, or wire threads.
- the first support element S1 is an electrically conductive arm rotatably hinged, directly or indirectly, to the first case 10 to be rotated about an axis of rotation between two angularly spaced positions corresponding respectively to the rest position and the working position of the first contact element P1.
- these positions correspond respectively to the operating state of opening and to the operating state of closing of the moulded case circuit breaker 1.
- the first support element S1 is a conductive arm bound to the rotary actuating element 15 and the latter is rotatably hinged to the first case 10, is supported by it and is made of electrically insulating material.
- this bond between the conductive arm and the rotary actuating element 15 provides, in any case, and in a manner known per se, a possibility of residual movement of the rotary arm and, therefore, of the first support element S1 with respect to the rotary actuating element 15, for example to recover the wear of the contact elements P1, P2, or to compensate for any misalignment.
- each of these is equipped with a first support element S1 and all the first support elements S1 are preferably bound to the same rotary actuating element 15 and to the same actuating mechanism.
- the first contact branch C1 comprises a bar conductor 18 having an end portion, for example, provided with a through hole, which is the first connection terminal T1.

- the spaces available in the second case 20 are advantageously exploited for the expansion of the gases that develop upon the occurrence of an electric arc between the contact elements P1, P2, which implies an increase in the performance of the moulded case circuit breaker 1 in terms of breaking capacity and/or in terms of robustness over time to the wear phenomena related to electric arcs.
- the first case comprises an automatic protection system with a trip system adapted to bring said first contact element P1 in the rest position upon detecting a condition of short-circuit or overcurrent.
- the body of knowledge of an expert in the field includes the various types of trip systems, both of the fully electromechanical type (automatic magnetothermic circuit breakers) and interlocked with an electronic control (automatic electronic circuit breakers).
- the moulded case circuit breaker 1 includes a second housing 20 as shown in Figures 4 , 5 , 7 and 8 , the moulded case circuit breaker 1 is an automatic, magnetic or electronic circuit breaker without a residual current protection system.
- first case 10 is a single module that can be fitted with accessories in different ways and that, coupled to a second module that can be of different types and that is represented by second housing 20 and by what this supports, allows producing a wide range of types of moulded case circuit breakers.
- the measuring toroid 50 may be connected to the trip device, directly or by interposition of an electronic control module housed in the first case, by passing at least two conductors, each connected to a respective terminal of the measuring toroid 50, from the second case 20 to the first case 10.

- the third bar conductor 28''' is a rigid conductor bar having an end portion riveted, or otherwise attached and electrically connected, to the first conductor bar 28' and an opposite end portion, riveted, or otherwise attached and electrically connected, to the second conductor bar 28''.
- such insulating blocks 22 stiffen the second support element S2 and, possibly, keep in place the guidance elements of the electric arc 24, if these are provided, as in Figure 13 .
- such insulating blocks 22 do not perform the function of fixing the second support S2 to the second case 20, contrary to what has been described for the examples of Figures 7 and 8 .
