Description
La présente invention concerne un disjoncteur multipolaire à basse tension.The present invention relates to a low voltage multipole circuit breaker.
On connaît des disjoncteurs multipolaires à basse tension, comportant un boîtier moulé divisé en compartiments intérieurs chacun associé à un pôle du disjoncteur et renfermant chacun des contacts électriques séparables, dont le déplacement est commandé par un mécanisme d'actionnement commun à tous les pôles et piloté par un déclencheur.Low voltage multipole circuit breakers are known, comprising a molded housing divided into internal compartments each associated with a pole of the circuit breaker and each containing separable electrical contacts, the displacement of which is controlled by an actuating mechanism common to all the poles and driven by a trigger.
Un exemple d'un tel disjoncteur est décrit dans
Ces disjoncteurs sont plus particulièrement destinés à être utilisés pour interrompre des courants de forte intensité, généralement comprise entre 630 A et 6300 A. La coupure du courant est réalisée dans l'air, par séparation des contacts électriques, avec l'aide d'une chambre de coupure d'arc électrique associée à chaque pôle.These circuit breakers are more particularly intended to be used to interrupt currents of high intensity, generally between 630 A and 6300 A. The power cut is achieved in the air, by separating the electrical contacts, with the help of a arc-breaking chamber associated with each pole.
Un problème connu de ces disjoncteurs vient du fait que des gaz chauds et ionisés, nommés gaz de coupure, sont générés lors de la coupure du courant. Ces gaz de coupure présentent une température élevée, typiquement supérieure à 2000°C ainsi qu'une pression élevée. Ils doivent être évacués hors du disjoncteur en ayant été préalablement dépollués et refroidis.A known problem of these circuit breakers comes from the fact that hot gases and ionized, called breaking gas, are generated during the power failure. These cutoff gases have a high temperature, typically greater than 2000 ° C and a high pressure. They must be evacuated out of the circuit breaker having been previously cleaned and cooled.
Pour y remédier, les disjoncteurs connus comportent des dispositifs de filtrage des gaz de coupure.To remedy this, known circuit breakers include devices for filtering cutoff gases.
Ces disjoncteurs ne donnent cependant pas entière satisfaction dans certains usages contemporains, notamment lorsque ces disjoncteurs sont destinés à fonctionner sous des tensions électriques plus élevées, par exemple pour des basses tensions supérieures ou égales à 500 V AC et pouvant aller jusqu'à 690 V AC pour chaque phase.These circuit breakers, however, are not entirely satisfactory in certain contemporary uses, especially when these circuit breakers are intended to operate at higher electrical voltages, for example for low voltages greater than or equal to 500 V AC and up to 690 V AC. for each phase.
En particulier, ces disjoncteurs présentent alors un risque plus important d'être endommagés suite à une surpression excessive de gaz de coupure à l'intérieur du boîtier du disjoncteur.In particular, these circuit breakers then have a greater risk of being damaged due to excessive excess pressure of cut-off gas inside the circuit-breaker housing.
C'est à ces inconvénients qu'entend plus particulièrement remédier l'invention en proposant un disjoncteur multipolaire à basse tension dans lequel l'évacuation des gaz de coupure est optimisée sans dégrader les performances du disjoncteur.It is these drawbacks that the invention intends to remedy more particularly by proposing a low-voltage multipole circuit breaker in which the evacuation of the cut-off gases is optimized without degrading the performance of the circuit-breaker.
A cet effet, l'invention concerne un disjoncteur multipolaire à basse tension, comportant un boîtier moulé incluant un corps principal et un capot, le capot étant monté sur le corps principal et recouvrant une face principale du corps principal, le corps principal étant divisé en compartiments intérieurs chacun associé à un pôle du disjoncteur ;To this end, the invention relates to a low-voltage multipole circuit breaker, comprising a molded housing including a main body and a hood, the hood being mounted on the main body and covering a main face of the main body, the main body being divided into interior compartments each associated with a pole of the circuit breaker;

This spacing E2 is here measured in a direction perpendicular to the

Le disjoncteur 2 comporte également un mécanisme de commutation.The
Dans cet exemple, le disjoncteur 2 comporte aussi un déclencheur 8 et un levier de commande 10 manuelle, aptes à commander le mécanisme de commutation. Le déclencheur 8 et le levier de commande 10 sont disposés à l'avant du disjoncteur 2 de sorte à être accessibles par un utilisateur du disjoncteur 2.In this example, the
Le disjoncteur 2 comporte plusieurs pôles électriques, ici chacun associé à une phase électrique d'une installation électrique à laquelle le disjoncteur 2 est connecté.The
Selon des modes de réalisation, le disjoncteur 2 est un disjoncteur tripolaire destiné à fonctionner avec une installation électrique triphasée. Le disjoncteur 2 comporte à cet effet trois pôles électriques, chacun associé à une des trois phases électriques.According to embodiments, the
Dans des modes de réalisation alternatifs non illustrés, le disjoncteur 2 est un disjoncteur tétrapolaire, destiné à fonctionner avec une installation électrique triphasée munie d'une ligne de neutre. Le disjoncteur 2 comporte alors quatre pôles, respectivement associés aux phases électriques et à la ligne de neutre.In alternative embodiments not illustrated, the
Par « basse tension », on entend que le disjoncteur 2 est apte à fonctionner sous des tensions électriques allant jusqu'à 690 V AC pour chaque pôle.By "low voltage" is meant that the
Le disjoncteur 2 est apte à interrompre des courants nominaux d'intensité comprise entre 630 A et 6300 A.The
Le corps principal 4 du boîtier du disjoncteur 2 est divisé en compartiments intérieurs, chacun associé à un pôle du disjoncteur 2. Ces compartiments sont aussi nommés « compartiments polaires » dans ce qui suit.The
Dans ce qui suit, pour simplifier la description, les signes de référence 12, 14 et 16 servent indifféremment à désigner les pôles électriques du disjoncteur 2 ou bien les compartiments intérieurs correspondants.In the following, to simplify the description, the reference signs 12, 14 and 16 serve indifferently to designate the electrical poles of the
Par exemple, les compartiments 12, 14 et 16 sont alignés latéralement côte à côte selon un axe transverse du corps principal 4. Le compartiment 14 est en position centrale de cet alignement. Les compartiments 12 et 16 sont placés en position latérale de part et d'autre du compartiment central 14. Les compartiments 12, 14 et 16 sont séparés deux à deux par des cloisons internes.For example, the
La face principale 22 du corps principal 4 comporte en outre un orifice additionnel 18, 20 pour au moins deux des pôles. Le rôle de ces orifices additionnels 18, 20 est décrit plus en détail dans ce qui suit.The
Par exemple, chaque orifice additionnel 18, 20 présente une forme oblongue.For example, each
Selon des modes de mise en oeuvre, la superficie de chaque orifice additionnel 18, 20 est comprise entre 0,5cm2 et 2cm2 et, de préférence, égale à 1cm2.According to embodiments, the area of each
Selon des modes de réalisation, comme illustré sur la
Comme illustré à la
Le mécanisme de commande est commun à tous les pôles et est adapté pour ouvrir ou fermer le circuit électrique formé par ces contacts 34 et 36, notamment grâce à un arbre rotatif 39 configuré pour mettre en mouvement le contact mobile 36. Cela permet respectivement d'empêcher ou, en alternance, d'autoriser la circulation d'un courant électrique entre les terminaux 30 et 32 pour chaque pôle.The control mechanism is common to all the poles and is adapted to open or close the electrical circuit formed by these
L'arbre 39 est commun aux pôles du disjoncteur 2 et s'étend dans le corps principal 4 selon une direction transversale du disjoncteur 2. En particulier, les cloisons internes séparant les compartiments 12, 14 et 16 sont munies d'ouvertures autorisant le passage de l'arbre 39. Ces ouvertures ne permettent cependant pas une communication fluidique entre compartiments voisins.The
Le disjoncteur 2 comporte en outre, pour chaque pôle, une chambre de coupure 40. La chambre de coupure 40 comporte un empilement 42 de plaques de séparation d'arc, un pare-étincelle 44, une corne d'arc inférieure 46 et un orifice de sortie de gaz de coupure, dit orifice principal, muni d'un dispositif de filtration 48. L'orifice principal débouche en dehors du corps principal 4 et donc en dehors du disjoncteur 2.The
Le fonctionnement des chambres de coupure est bien connu et n'est pas expliqué plus en détail. Un exemple de chambre de coupure est décrit dans le brevet
L'axe géométrique X40 désigne une direction d'alignement des plaques de l'empilement 42. Le pare-étincelle 44 surmonte l'empilement 42, en étant aligné avec cet empilement selon l'axe X40. Par exemple, le pare-étincelle 44 présente une forme de plaque pleine recourbée, ici recourbée à angle droit de sorte que sa section transversale présente une forme en L.The geometric axis X40 designates a direction of alignment of the plates of the
L'orifice additionnel 18 est ménagé dans la face principale 22 à l'aplomb du pare-étincelle 44. En d'autres termes, le pare-étincelle 44 est intercalé entre l'orifice additionnel 18 et l'empilement 42. L'orifice additionnel 18 est ici aligné avec le pare étincelle 44 selon l'axe X40.The
Dans l'exemple illustré, la référence X48 désigne un axe géométrique passant par l'orifice principal de sortie de gaz de coupure. L'axe X48 est perpendiculaire à l'axe X40.In the example shown, the reference X48 designates a geometrical axis passing through the main outlet of cutoff gas. The X48 axis is perpendicular to the X40 axis.
La chambre de coupure 40 est agencée de telle sorte que la plus grande partie du gaz de coupure est évacué hors du compartiment 12 en traversant le dispositif de filtrage 48. Le flux de gaz de coupure est donc essentiellement orienté suivant l'axe X48 lorsqu'il est évacué hors du compartiment 12.The breaking
Ce n'est donc qu'en cas de surpression importante que les gaz de coupure passent par l'orifice additionnel 18 en plus de traverser le dispositif de filtration 48, car l'orifice additionnel 18 se trouve à l'écart de la trajectoire suivie par le flux principal de gaz de coupure.It is therefore only in the event of a significant overpressure that the cut-off gases pass through the
Cela est notamment dû au fait que les axes X40 et X48 sont désalignés, et plus particulièrement perpendiculaires. Cela est aussi dû au fait que le pare-étincelles 44 est intercalé entre l'empilement 42 et l'orifice additionnel 18, de sorte à former un écran empêchant le passage des gaz directement en ligne droite depuis la chambre de coupure 40.This is notably due to the fact that the X40 and X48 axes are misaligned, and more particularly perpendicular. This is also due to the fact that the
Les autres pôles du disjoncteur 2 présentent une conception similaire. En particulier, le pôle 16 est analogue au pôle 12, si ce n'est que l'orifice additionnel du pôle 16 porte la référence 20. Le pôle 14, situé entre les pôles 12 et 16, est similaire au pôle 12, mis à part qu'il ne comporte pas d'orifice additionnel 18 ou 20.The other poles of the
Les orifices additionnels 18 et 20, agissant conjointement avec l'ouverture périphérique entre le capot 6 et le corps principal 4, permettent ainsi une décompression de la chambre de coupure 40 des pôles 12 et 16 au moment du pic de pression qui survient lors de la coupure du courant, en formant une sortie additionnelle pour les gaz de coupure.The
L'agencement des orifices additionnels 18 et 20 permet de limiter la quantité de gaz de coupure qui est rejetée à l'occasion d'une telle décompression. En effet, il n'est pas souhaitable de rejeter trop de gaz de coupure non dépollué et non refroidi à l'extérieur du disjoncteur 2, car cela pourrait avoir des conséquences néfastes pour la sécurité des biens et des personnes.The arrangement of the
En particulier, le fait d'utiliser seulement deux orifices additionnels 18, 20 est ici avantageux. Dans le cas présent, il n'est pas nécessaire de mettre un orifice additionnel sur le compartiment central associé au pôle 14, car ce compartiment est connecté fluidiquement avec le volume intérieur délimité par le capot 6 par l'intermédiaire de l'ouverture dans laquelle est installée le mécanisme, de sorte que la surpression de gaz de coupure générée pour ce compartiment central 14 peut s'évacuer.In particular, the fact of using only two
La limitation du nombre d'orifices additionnels permet de limiter la quantité de gaz de coupure qui est rejetée à l'occasion d'une telle décompression.The limitation of the number of additional orifices makes it possible to limit the quantity of cut-off gas that is rejected during such decompression.
Dans le fonctionnement normal du disjoncteur 2, le capot 6 est monté sur le corps principal 4. De fait, le gaz de coupure sortant par les orifices additionnels 18 et 20 doit cheminer à l'intérieur du capot 6, dans le volume intérieur, avant de pouvoir sortir du disjoncteur 2. Cet agencement atténue l'onde de pression formée lors de l'éjection des gaz de coupure, et limite la perte d'étanchéité du disjoncteur 2 causée par la présence des orifices additionnels 18 et 20, notamment l'étanchéité à l'eau et à la poussière.In the normal operation of the
Enfin, les valeurs précédemment définies de l'écartement E2 permettent d'assurer une évacuation satisfaisante de la surpression, sans pour autant dégrader les propriétés d'étanchéité du disjoncteur, notamment l'étanchéité à l'eau et à la poussière.Finally, the previously defined values of the spacing E2 make it possible to ensure a satisfactory evacuation of the overpressure, without degrading the circuit breaker sealing properties, in particular the water and dust tightness.
Ainsi, l'invention permet de limiter le risque d'endommagement du disjoncteur 2 suite à une surpression, sans dégrader les performances du disjoncteur 2.Thus, the invention makes it possible to limit the risk of damage to the
Selon des modes de mise en oeuvre alternatifs, dans le cas d'un disjoncteur tétrapolaire, il est possible de n'utiliser que deux tels orifices additionnels 18, 20, ménagés pour les compartiments polaires adjacents au pôle situé au centre de l'alignement, c'est-à-dire situés sur les bords latéraux de part et d'autre du pôle central.According to alternative embodiments, in the case of a four-pole circuit breaker, it is possible to use only two such
Selon une variante, dans le cas d'un disjoncteur tétrapolaire pour une installation triphasée avec ligne de neutre, il n'est pas nécessaire de former un orifice additionnel pour le compartiment polaire associé à la ligne de neutre, car l'énergie mise en jeu lors de la coupure du courant pour cette ligne de neutre est moindre que celle pour la coupure sur une phase électrique, et donc le risque de surpression de gaz de coupure au niveau de ce compartiment polaire est bien moindre.According to one variant, in the case of a four-pole circuit breaker for a three-phase installation with a neutral line, it is not necessary to form an additional orifice for the polar compartment associated with the neutral line, because the energy involved when the power cut for this neutral line is less than that for the cut on an electrical phase, and therefore the risk of overpressure cut gas at this polar compartment is much lower.
Selon des modes de mise en oeuvre complémentaires, la chambre de coupure 40 comporte en outre des déflecteurs 50 verticaux en matériau comportant des fibres synthétiques, par exemple de type aramide. De préférence, les déflecteurs 50 sont réalisés dans le matériau connu sous la marque Nomex® et commercialisé par la société DU PONT DE NEMOURS.According to complementary embodiments, the breaking
Par exemple, les déflecteurs 50 sont installés verticalement de part et d'autre de l'entrée de la chambre de coupure 40, en s'étendant parallèlement à l'axe X40. Les déflecteurs 50 présentent une forme de bande allongée et sont fixés à des parois latérales de la chambre de coupure 40. Les déflecteurs 50 sont ici au nombre de deux.For example, the
Les déflecteurs 50 canalisent l'arc électrique dans la chambre de coupure 40 et minimisent les retours de gaz de coupure latéralement en périphérie de la chambre de coupure. Les déflecteurs 50 contribuent donc à optimiser encore plus l'évacuation et le traitement des gaz de coupure du disjoncteur 2.The

Ce capot 6 comporte une partie principale 60, ici en forme de pavé creux dont la base est un quadrilatère régulier. La partie principale 60 comporte une paroi frontale qui forme une face avant du disjoncteur 2 lorsque le capot 6 est monté sur le corps principal 4. Par exemple, la paroi frontale comporte des fenêtres traversantes 62 et 64 permettant respectivement le passage du déclencheur 8 et du levier de commande 10.This
La partie principale 60 délimite ainsi une cavité qui débouche à l'extérieur du capot 6 sur l'arrière du capot. La forme et les dimensions de la partie principale 60 sont choisies en fonction de la forme du corps principal 4.The
Le capot 6 comprend en outre des éléments de fixation 66 destinés à permettre la fixation du capot 6 sur le corps principal 4, de préférence une fixation sans degré de liberté. Le corps principal 4 comporte également des éléments complémentaires aux éléments de fixation 66, par exemple sous la forme d'évidements ou de creux adaptés pour recevoir les éléments de fixation. Les éléments de fixation 66 sont, par exemple, pourvus chacun d'un trou 68 pour recevoir une vis dont le vissage se fait ici dans le corps principal 4The
Le capot 6 comporte en outre une bride 72 ménagée à la base de la partie principale 60. Cette bride 72 présente une forme plate et s'étend sur tout le pourtour de la base de la partie principale 60.The
La bride 72 est pourvue d'éléments d'appui 70, ou espaceurs, qui sont dimensionnés pour maintenir l'écartement E2 de l'ouverture périphérique lorsque le capot 6 est monté sur le corps principal 4. Ces éléments d'appui 70 sont ainsi destinés à venir en contact avec une surface correspondante du corps principal 4 lorsque le capot 6 est monté sur le corps principal 4. Les éléments d'appui 70 sont ici des pattes formées d'un seul tenant avec le reste du capot 6.The
Les éléments de fixation 66 sont ici formés en saillie sur la bride 72. Ils viennent également en appui sur le corps central 4 lorsque le capot 6 est fixé, et forment donc des éléments d'appui qui agissent conjointement avec les éléments d'appui 70.The fixing

Le dispositif de filtrage 48 comporte un diffuseur de gaz 80, un filtre 82 métallique et un écran 84 isolant intercalé entre le diffuseur de gaz 80 et le filtre 82. Le diffuseur 80, le filtre 82 et l'écran 84 sont ici alignés le long de l'axe X48.The
Le diffuseur 80, le filtre 82 et l'écran 84 sont ici illustrés écartés les uns des autres. Toutefois, en pratique, lorsque le dispositif de filtrage 48 est dans une configuration assemblée, le diffuseur 80, le filtre 82 et l'écran 84 sont en contact deux à deux.The
Le diffuseur de gaz 80 forme une entrée du dispositif de filtrage 48 et a pour rôle de répartir spatialement le flux gaz de coupure, de manière à ce qu'en sortie du diffuseur 80, le gaz de coupure soit réparti de façon homogène sur toute la surface du filtre 82. Un exemple du diffuseur de gaz 80 est décrit dans
Le filtre 82 a pour rôle de refroidir et dépolluer le gaz de coupure. Il comporte un empilement de tissus métalliques de type « reps ». Un exemple du filtre 82 est décrit dans le brevet
L'écran 84 comporte une couche de matériau électriquement isolant en fibres synthétiques, par exemple de type aramide. De préférence, l'écran 84 est réalisé dans le matériau sous la marque Nomex® et commercialisé par la société DU PONT DE NEMOURS.The
Selon des modes de mise en oeuvre, l'écran 84 présente avantageusement un évidement central 86. Cet évidement central 86 s'étend jusqu'à une partie supérieure 88 et jusqu'à une partie inférieure 90 de l'écran 84.According to embodiments, the
De préférence, la partie supérieure 88 et la partie inférieure 90 sont pourvues de trous traversants 92 autorisant le passage du gaz de coupure. Les trous 92 sont par exemple formés par découpe.Preferably, the
En variante, l'évidement central 86 est omis et est remplacé par des trous traversants analogues aux trous 92.Alternatively, the central recess 86 is omitted and is replaced by through holes similar to the
Les parties supérieure 88 et inférieure 90 ainsi percées de trous 92 permettent le passage du gaz de coupure en fournissant une isolation électrique renforcée. Le risque de rebouclage du courant dans le gaz de coupure ionisé au niveau du filtre métallique 82 est ainsi réduit.The
L'évidement central 86 permet d'éviter de restreindre excessivement l'écoulement du gaz de coupure. L'absence de trous 92 dans la partie centrale de l'écran 84 n'est pas préjudiciable, car c'est principalement au niveau des parties inférieure 88 et supérieure 90 que le risque de rebouclage du courant est le plus élevé.The central recess 86 makes it possible to avoid excessively restricting the flow of the cutoff gas. The absence of
Ainsi, le rendement du dispositif de filtrage 48 est amélioré, sans pour autant augmenter le niveau d'ionisation à l'extérieur du disjoncteur 2, notamment vis-à-vis de conducteurs électriques sous tension se trouvant dans l'environnement immédiat du disjoncteur 2 pendant qu'il est en fonctionnement.Thus, the efficiency of the
En d'autres termes, le dispositif de filtrage 48 contribue à optimiser encore plus l'évacuation et le traitement des gaz de coupure du disjoncteur 2.In other words, the
Les modes de réalisation et les variantes envisagés ci-dessus peuvent être combinés entre eux pour générer de nouveaux modes de réalisation.The embodiments and alternatives contemplated above may be combined with one another to generate new embodiments.
