  • the two moving contacts 19 and 23 extend on opposed sides of the diaphragm 3 into two respective arcing chambers 33 and 34 formed in the body 8 between the core member 2 and the cheek pieces 5 and 6, respectively.
  • the arcing chambers 33 and 34 are formed with respective venting slits 33a and 34a which open outwards and are formed in part in the cheek pieces and in part in the framing member 4 of the core member 2, on opposed sides with respect to the central diaphragm 3.
  • the moving contacts 19 and 23 are movable through equal paths T toward and away from their respective fixed contacts 19 and 22 facing said chambers 33 and 34, respectively.
  • a throughgoing socket 35 having an L-shaped cross-section.
  • a metal crosspiece made preferably of copper-plated iron, which has an L-shaped cross-section mating with the L-shaped cross-section of the throughgoing socket 35.
  • the crosspiece penetrates, with a middle portion 37 thereof, the throughgoing socket 35, in a substantially force fit relationship, and has opposed end portions 38 and 39 overhanging into said chambers 33 and 34.
  • the socket 35, and hence the crosspiece 36, is positioned relatively to the moving and fixed contacts such that the crosspiece locates itself at a preset distance from the path T, preferably at 2-3 mm, and such that the back of the "L" is facing the path T.
  • the key 25 of the circuit breaker 1 is adapted to receive by snap action a key capping 40 as appropriate for the MAGIC civil range.
  • a key capping 40 as appropriate for the MAGIC civil range.
  • the cheek pieces 5 and 6 are provided with respective seats 5b and 6b mating with the key 25.
  • Indicated at 41 is a yoke which extends all around the key 25 and the capping 40 and is provided with means of mechanical connection interacting between the attachment means 5a and 6a and the carrier frame from the MAGIC civil range.
  • the key 25 is adapted to receive by snap action and in an interchangeable manner with the capping 40, a key capping 42 appropriate for the LIVING civil range and a key capping 43 appropriate for the TEKNE civil range, also in an interchangeable manner with the capping 40.
  • the cheek pieces 10 and 11, as well as the cheek pieces 12 and 13, are provided with respective seats 10b,11b, and 12b,13b mating with the key 25.
  • the circuit breaker 1 further includes, within the body 8, an amperometer coil 44 of a large cross-section area wire which is accommodated on the core member 2, on the cheek piece 5 side, at the protected pole 14.
  • the amperometer coil 44 has a respective pusher 45 adapted to engage with the lug 29 of the hooking lever 28 to release the moving contact holder assembly 26 on the occurrence of shorting currents, thereby causing the circuit breaker to break.
  • the circuit breaker 1 also comprises a bimetal strip thermal relay 62 housed in the proximities of the amperometer coil 44 between the core member 2 and the cheek piece 5. It is active on the lever 28 to release the moving contact holder assembly 26.
  • the circuit breaker 1 of this invention comprises, moreover, a thin wire voltmeter coil 46 which is housed in the body 8 on the core member 2, on the same side as the cheek piece 6, at the neutral pole 15.
  • the voltmeter coil 46 has a respective pusher 47 adapted to engage with the lug 30 on the hooking lever to release the moving contact holder assembly 26 on the occurrence of a remote control command or by differential operation, thereby the circuit breaker is caused to break.
  • the circuit breaker 1 is either manually operated, as by acting on the key capping, or automatically operated by energization of the amperometer and voltmeter coils and the thermal relay.
  • attachment means 32 for spring mounting the moving contact 19 to the contact carrier body 31 will be next described.
  • These attachment means 32 include a pin 48 jutting out of the contact carrier body 31 toward the cheek piece 5.
  • the pin 48 engages in a hole 49 formed in a central portion 50 of the moving contact 19.
  • the attachment means 32 further include a forked spring 51 having a base 52 and two prongs 53 and 54, with free ends 55 and 56.
  • the forked spring 51 has a base 52 straddling the moving contact 19 at a forward active portion 57 thereof, its prongs 53 and 54 extending from opposed sides of the central portion 50 and wound into a spiral, with turns in opposite directions around the pin 48, and the free ends (( and 56 of the prongs 53 and 54 in engagement with a lug 58 formed on the contact carrier body 31.
  • the spring 51 with its base 52, constantly urges the moving contact 19 to rotate around the pin 48 toward the fixed contact 18.
  • a rearward tail portion 59 of the moving contact 19 engages with the lug 58 to stop rotation.
  • Retainer means 60 are provided to retain the moving contact 19 axially on the pin 48. These retainer means 60 are comprised of an elevation 61 formed on the lug 58 of the contact carrier body 31, against which the free end 56 of the prong 54 of the spring 51 engages laterally.
  • the attachment means 32 for spring mounting the moving contact 23 on the contact carrier body 31 are symmetrical of those described above for mounting the contact 19 relatively to the diaphragm 3, and accordingly, not described herein in detail.
  • circuit breaker 1 Operation of the circuit breaker 1 will be described herein below with reference to a starting condition, shown in Figure 3, wherein the circuit breaker is in its make setting.
  • the arc roots standing on the moving contacts will separate from the moving contacts and stand on their respective portions 38 and 39 of the crosspiece which overhang into the chambers 33 and 34 at the back of the "L".
  • the arcs come to a final position, indicated at a2, which extends from the fixed contacts to the crosspiece.
  • the moving contacts On the arcs moving into their final positions a2, the moving contacts become released by the action of the electric arc, and accordingly unaffected by further cratering actions. These will in fact appear, at least before the arc is extinguished on the current half-wave going through zero on the crosspiece, on which they bear no harmful influence.
  • the circuit breaker 1 according to the invention has been provided with an electric arc change-over device effective to switch the arc from the moving contacts to an inert inoperative member, the crosspiece, with consequent increased life of the moving contacts.
  • circuit breaker disclosed hereinabove may be in many ways altered and modified by a skilled person in order to meet specific contingent requirements within the protection scope of the invention as set forth in the appended claims.
