従来の回路遮断器では、負荷側端子の近傍に、極間を貫通する可動子ホルダーに可動自在に保持された可動接触子や、過電流引外し装置が設けられている。そのため、電源側と負荷側とを逆の状態で接続して使用し、遮断動作をした場合、負荷側端子、可動接触子、および過電流引外し装置は、交流電路の電圧が印加され続ける状態となる。そうすると、遮断により発生したアークやススで、回路遮断器極間の絶縁抵抗が低下する可能性があり、その状態で電圧が印加され続けると絶縁破壊を起こし回路遮断器が故障する場合がある。
このため、回路遮断器の種類によっては、逆接続での使用時に、使用電圧を正接続より低い電圧に抑制する制限、または、逆接続での使用を禁止する制限を設ける必要があるという問題があった。 In the conventional circuit breaker, a movable contactor movably held by a mover holder penetrating between the electrodes and an overcurrent trip device are provided in the vicinity of the load side terminal. Therefore, when the power supply side and the load side are connected and used in the reverse state, and the shut-off operation is performed, the load side terminal, the movable contact, and the overcurrent trip device are in a state where the voltage of the AC circuit is continuously applied. It becomes. If so, there is a possibility that the insulation resistance between the circuit breaker poles is reduced by the arc or soot generated by the interruption, and if the voltage is continuously applied in this state, the insulation breakage may occur and the circuit breaker may break down.
For this reason, depending on the type of circuit breaker, there is a problem that it is necessary to provide a restriction that suppresses the use voltage to a voltage lower than the positive connection or a restriction that prohibits use in the reverse connection when used in the reverse connection. there were.

過電流引外し回路５は、図２に示すように、変流器３の電流出力信号をアナログ電圧信号に変換する電流検出回路５ａと、変圧器４の電圧検出信号をアナログ電圧信号に変換する電圧変換回路５ｂと、電流検出回路５ａおよび電圧変換回路５ｂからの出力信号であるアナログ電圧信号をデジタル信号に変換するＡ／Ｄ変換回路５ｃと、過電流引外し特性及び定格電流を設定する特性設定部５ｄと、Ａ／Ｄ変換回路５ｃからのデジタル信号に基づいて交流電路１の各相に流れる電流値を演算しこの電流値と特性設定部５ｄで設定された過電流引外し特性とに基づき引外し信号を出力するマイクロコンピュータ（ＣＰＵ）を含んだ制御装置５ｅと、制御装置５ｅの引外し信号により駆動され引外しコイル６ａを励磁するスイッチング素子５ｆと、を備えている。   As shown in FIG. 2, the overcurrent trip circuit 5 converts a current output signal from the current transformer 3 into an analog voltage signal, and converts a voltage detection signal from the transformer 4 into an analog voltage signal. Voltage conversion circuit 5b, A / D conversion circuit 5c for converting an analog voltage signal, which is an output signal from current detection circuit 5a and voltage conversion circuit 5b, to a digital signal, and characteristics for setting an overcurrent trip characteristic and a rated current Based on the digital signal from the setting unit 5d and the A / D conversion circuit 5c, the current value flowing in each phase of the AC circuit 1 is calculated, and the current value and the overcurrent trip characteristic set by the characteristic setting unit 5d are obtained. A control device 5e including a microcomputer (CPU) that outputs a trip signal based on the switching device 5f, and a switching element 5f that is driven by the trip signal of the control device 5e to excite the trip coil 6a; It is provided.

次に回路遮断器１００の動作について説明する。
過電流引外し回路５の制御装置５ｅは、変流器３の出力信号を電流検出回路５ａによりそれぞれアナログ電圧信号に変換し、さらに、Ａ／Ｄ変換回路５ｃでそれぞれデジタル信号に変換する。Ａ／Ｄ変換回路５ｃによりデジタル信号に変換された各信号は、制御装置５ｅで実効値もしくはピーク値が算出され、交流電路１を流れる電流値を監視する。 Next, the operation of the circuit breaker 100 will be described.
The control device 5e of the overcurrent trip circuit 5 converts the output signal of the current transformer 3 into an analog voltage signal by the current detection circuit 5a, and further converts it into a digital signal by the A / D conversion circuit 5c. The effective value or peak value of each signal converted into a digital signal by the A / D conversion circuit 5c is calculated by the control device 5e, and the current value flowing through the AC circuit 1 is monitored.

過電流引外し回路５は、算出した交流電路１を流れる電流値が定格電流を超過し、かつ、その超過した電流値と、定格電流の超過が継続した継続時間が特性設定部５ｄで設定された過電流引外し特性を超えると、引外し信号を出力してスイッチング素子５ｆをオンさせる。スイッチング素子５ｆがオンすると引外しコイル６ａに電流が流れ引外しコイル６ａが励磁される。引外しコイル６ａが励磁されると引外し機構６ｂが駆動され、開閉接点２が開路される。また、開閉接点２の開路に連動して補助接点７も開路される。   The overcurrent tripping circuit 5 is set by the characteristic setting unit 5d so that the calculated current value flowing through the AC circuit 1 exceeds the rated current, and the current value that has exceeded and the duration during which the rated current has been exceeded continues. If the overcurrent trip characteristic is exceeded, a trip signal is output to turn on the switching element 5f. When the switching element 5f is turned on, a current flows through the tripping coil 6a and the tripping coil 6a is excited. When the tripping coil 6a is excited, the tripping mechanism 6b is driven and the switching contact 2 is opened. In addition, the auxiliary contact 7 is opened in conjunction with the opening of the switching contact 2.

次に、回路遮断器１００が電源側と負荷側とを逆に接続された逆接続の状態で使用された場合の動作について説明する。
図３に示すように、過電流引外し回路５は、変圧器４ａおよび変圧器４ｂの各出力信号を電圧変換回路５ｂによりそれぞれアナログ電圧信号に変換し、さらに、Ａ／Ｄ変換回路５ｃでそれぞれデジタル信号に変換する。Ａ／Ｄ変換回路５ｃによりデジタル信号に変換された各信号は、制御装置５ｅで実効値もしくはピーク値を算出される。（Ｓ１０１）。ここで、変圧器４ａの信号を電圧信号Ｖ１２とし、変圧器４ｂの信号を電圧信号Ｖ２３とする。 Next, an operation when the circuit breaker 100 is used in a reverse connection state in which the power supply side and the load side are connected in reverse will be described.
As shown in FIG. 3, the overcurrent trip circuit 5 converts the output signals of the transformer 4a and the transformer 4b into analog voltage signals by the voltage conversion circuit 5b, respectively, and further by the A / D conversion circuit 5c. Convert to digital signal. Each signal converted into a digital signal by the A / D conversion circuit 5c has an effective value or peak value calculated by the control device 5e. (S101). Here, the signal of the transformer 4a is a voltage signal V12, and the signal of the transformer 4b is a voltage signal V23.

次に、ステップＳ１０２では、補助接点７の信号を読み込み、補助接点７が開のときには、フラグＦに１をセットし、補助接点７が閉のときには、フラグＦに０をセットし、ステップと１０３に進む。ステップＳ１０３では、Ｆ＝１、すなわち補助接点７が開の場合、ステップＳ１０４に進み、Ｆ＝０、すなわち補助接点７が閉の場合、処理を終了する。ステップＳ１０４では、電圧信号Ｖ１２が所定値（例えば、ＡＣ５０Ｖ）より大きいかどうか判定する。電圧信号Ｖ１２が所定値より大きい場合にはステップＳ１０６に進み、電圧信号Ｖ１２が所定値以下の場合にはステップＳ１０５に進む。   Next, in step S102, the signal of the auxiliary contact 7 is read. When the auxiliary contact 7 is open, the flag F is set to 1. When the auxiliary contact 7 is closed, the flag F is set to 0. Proceed to In step S103, if F = 1, that is, if the auxiliary contact 7 is open, the process proceeds to step S104. If F = 0, that is, if the auxiliary contact 7 is closed, the process ends. In step S104, it is determined whether the voltage signal V12 is greater than a predetermined value (for example, AC50V). If the voltage signal V12 is greater than the predetermined value, the process proceeds to step S106, and if the voltage signal V12 is less than the predetermined value, the process proceeds to step S105.

ステップＳ１０５では、電圧信号Ｖ２３が所定値（例えば、ＡＣ５０Ｖ）より大きいかどうか判定する。電圧信号Ｖ２３が所定値より大きい場合にはステップＳ１０６に進み、電圧信号Ｖ２３が所定値以下の場合には処理を終了する。
ステップＳ１０６では、本ステップに処理が進む場合、回路遮断器１００の電源側と負荷側とが逆に接続された状態と判断されるので、引外し信号を出力する。 In step S105, it is determined whether the voltage signal V23 is greater than a predetermined value (for example, AC50V). If the voltage signal V23 is greater than the predetermined value, the process proceeds to step S106, and if the voltage signal V23 is less than the predetermined value, the process is terminated.
In step S106, when the process proceeds to this step, since it is determined that the power supply side and the load side of the circuit breaker 100 are connected in reverse, a trip signal is output.

引外し信号が出力されると、スイッチング素子５ｆがオンし、引外しコイル６ａに電流が流れ引外しコイル６ａが励磁される。引外しコイル６ａが励磁されると引外し機構６ｂがトリップする。つまり、開閉接点２および補助接点７が開であるオフ状態において、引外し機構６ｂがトリップするオフトリップの状態となる。
また、警報出力回路８は、過電流引外し回路５より引外し信号に連動して駆動され、外部へ警報を出力する。 When the trip signal is output, the switching element 5f is turned on, a current flows through the trip coil 6a, and the trip coil 6a is excited. When the trip coil 6a is excited, the trip mechanism 6b trips. That is, in the off state in which the switching contact 2 and the auxiliary contact 7 are open, the trip mechanism 6b is in an off-trip state.
The alarm output circuit 8 is driven in conjunction with the trip signal from the overcurrent trip circuit 5 and outputs an alarm to the outside.

本実施の形態によれば、過電流引外し回路５は、補助接点７が開で、変圧器４が検出する交流電路１の線間電圧が所定値を超える値のとき、遮断信号を引外し装置６に出力するので、回路遮断器１００が逆接続されていることを検知することができ、逆接続での使用による故障を防止することができる。
なお、本実施の形態では、電路は、交流電路として説明したが、直流電路の場合にも同様に適用可能である。
また、過電流引外し回路５の所定のしきい値および所定の時間は、接続する負荷への配線を保護できる特性を有しているものとする。 According to the present embodiment, the overcurrent trip circuit 5 trips the interruption signal when the auxiliary contact 7 is open and the line voltage of the AC circuit 1 detected by the transformer 4 exceeds a predetermined value. Since it outputs to the apparatus 6, it can detect that the circuit breaker 100 is reversely connected, and the failure by the use by reverse connection can be prevented.
In the present embodiment, the electric circuit is described as an AC electric circuit, but the present invention can be similarly applied to a DC electric circuit.
Further, it is assumed that the predetermined threshold value and the predetermined time of the overcurrent trip circuit 5 have characteristics capable of protecting the wiring to the connected load.

また、本実施の形態では、過電流引外し回路５は、引外し信号を引外し装置６に出力するとともに、引外し信号に連動し警報出力回路８を駆動して外部へ警報こととしたが、引外し装置６だけの駆動、または、警報出力回路８だけを駆動してもよい。過電流引外し回路５が警報出力回路８だけを駆動する場合、この警報出力により回路遮断器１００より交流電路１の電源側に設けられている別の回路遮断器を遮断させて、回路遮断器１００を保護することができる。   In the present embodiment, the overcurrent trip circuit 5 outputs a trip signal to the trip device 6 and drives the alarm output circuit 8 in conjunction with the trip signal to alarm the outside. Alternatively, only the tripping device 6 may be driven, or only the alarm output circuit 8 may be driven. When the overcurrent trip circuit 5 drives only the alarm output circuit 8, this alarm output causes the circuit breaker 100 to shut off another circuit breaker provided on the power supply side of the AC circuit 1. 100 can be protected.

実施の形態２．
図４はこの発明の実施の形態２における回路遮断器２００の構成を示すブロック図である。

FIG. 4 is a block diagram showing a configuration of a circuit breaker 200 according to Embodiment 2 of the present invention.
In the first embodiment, the transformer 4 is used as the voltage detector. However, in this embodiment, the voltage detector is replaced by the voltage dividing resistor 41 instead of the transformer 4.
More specifically, the voltage dividing resistor 41 has one end connected to one phase of the AC circuit 1, one end connected to the two phases of the AC circuit 1, and the other end connected to the other end of the resistor 41a.

Have.

そして、抵抗４１ａおよび抵抗４１ｂの接続点と、抵抗４１ｃおよび抵抗４１ｄの接続点とが過電流引外し回路５に設けられた差動のＡ／Ｄコンバーターに接続され、両接続点間の差電圧を差動のＡ／Ｄコンバーターにて検出している。
ここで、抵抗４１ａと４１ｄは、例えば、１ＭΩ、抵抗４１ｂと４１ｃは、例えば、５００Ωの抵抗値とする。
交流電路１の電圧をＡＣ２００Ｖとした場合、抵抗４１ａおよび抵抗４１ｂの接続点と、抵抗４１ｃおよび抵抗４１ｄの接続点との間の電圧は、０．１Ｖ程度となる。しかし、電圧がＡＣ３００Ｖの交流電路１に接続されたとすると、両接続点間の電圧は、０．１５Ｖ程度となり、検出することが可能である。
その他の構成については、実施の形態１と同様であるので、詳細説明は省略する。 The connection point between the resistor 41a and the resistor 41b and the connection point between the resistor 41c and the resistor 41d are connected to a differential A / D converter provided in the overcurrent trip circuit 5, and a difference voltage between the two connection points is obtained. Is detected by a differential A / D converter.

実施の形態３．
図５はこの発明の実施の形態３における回路遮断器３００の構成を示すブロック図である。
実施の形態１では、変圧器４を備え、交流電路１の１−２相間および２−３相間の線間電圧が所定値より大きく、かつ、補助接点７が開の場合に、過電流引外し回路５が引外し信号を出力する例で示した。一方、過電流引外し回路５を駆動する電源回路が、交流電路１の線間電圧から供給される場合には、過電流引外し回路５が動作することをもって、交流電路１の１−２相間または２−３相間の線間電圧が所定値より大きいと判断できる。 Embodiment 3 FIG.
FIG. 5 is a block diagram showing a configuration of a circuit breaker 300 according to Embodiment 3 of the present invention.
In the first embodiment, when the transformer 4 is provided, the line voltage between the 1-2 phase and the 2-3 phase of the AC circuit 1 is larger than a predetermined value, and the auxiliary contact 7 is open, the overcurrent tripping An example is shown in which the circuit 5 outputs a trip signal. On the other hand, when the power supply circuit for driving the overcurrent trip circuit 5 is supplied from the line voltage of the AC circuit 1, the overcurrent trip circuit 5 is operated to operate between the 1-2 phases of the AC circuit 1. Or it can be judged that the line voltage between 2-3 phases is larger than a predetermined value.

よって、本実施の形態では、交流電路１に設けられ、交流電路１の線間電圧が所定値（例えば、ＡＣ５０Ｖ）を超える値のとき動作し、過電流引外し回路５に電源の供給を開始する制御電源回路９を備え、過電流引外し回路５は、制御電源回路９から電源を供給されるものである。
そして、過電流引外し回路５は、補助接点７が開の状態を所定時間（例えば、１００ｍｓｅｃ以上）連続して検出した場合に、交流電路１の１−２相間または２−３相間の線間電圧が所定値より大きく、かつ、補助接点７が開の状態とみなし、引外し信号を出力するようにしたものである。この場合、変圧器４や分圧抵抗４１のような電圧検出器を回路遮断器３００に設ける必要はない。 Therefore, in the present embodiment, the AC circuit 1 is provided when the line voltage of the AC circuit 1 exceeds a predetermined value (for example, AC 50 V), and the supply of power to the overcurrent trip circuit 5 is started. The overcurrent trip circuit 5 is supplied with power from the control power circuit 9.
The overcurrent trip circuit 5 detects the open state of the auxiliary contact 7 continuously for a predetermined time (for example, 100 msec or more), between lines 1-2 or 2-3 of the AC circuit 1. It is assumed that the voltage is larger than a predetermined value and the auxiliary contact 7 is in an open state, and a trip signal is output. In this case, it is not necessary to provide a voltage detector such as the transformer 4 or the voltage dividing resistor 41 in the circuit breaker 300.

Since the overcurrent trip circuit 5 trips the trip signal and outputs it to the device 6, it can be detected that the circuit breaker 300 is reversely connected, and is used in reverse connection. Failure due to can be prevented.
In the present embodiment, the electric circuit is described as an AC electric circuit, but the present invention can be similarly applied to a DC electric circuit.
