Definitions

  • the invention relates to low-voltage circuit breakers with interchangeable contacts according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • the invention has for its object to provide low-voltage circuit breakers with on-site replaceable main contacts and flex bands.
  • the invention relates to the exchange of the main contacts of the movable contact arm.
  • the fixed main contacts can be easily released according to the known prior art.
  • the invention offers the advantage that the articulated arm can be designed in such a way that when the contact system closes, the auxiliary contacts lead and lag when opened. Furthermore, the part of the contact arm carrying the main and auxiliary contacts can advantageously be designed such that electrodynamically acting forces increase the contact pressure and that lamellar main contacts can be accommodated.
  • Fig. 1 shows a contact system of a low-voltage circuit breaker with a movable contact arm, which is designed as a two-part articulated arm with a contact carrier part 1, a main arm 2 and a releasable joint 3, 4, 13 connecting the contact carrier part 1 and the main arm 2
  • Contact carrier part 1 a main and an auxiliary contact 5, 6 are attached, to which corresponding stationary contacts 11, 12 are assigned on the fixed part 8 of the contact system.
  • the movable contact arm is pivotally attached with its main arm 2 via a bearing pin 7 to the fixed part of the contact system and the electrical connection between the fixed lower connecting lug and the contact carrier part 1 is made with a flexible band 9.
  • the releasable joint 3, 4, 13 between the contact carrier part 1 and main arm 2 consists of a hinge pin 3, which is fixed to the contact carrier part 1, a slot hole 4 open on one side in the main arm 2 and a pin holder 13, which is designed as a U-shaped leaf spring and, when the joint is assembled, the hinge pin 3 in the slot hole open on one side 4 holds and is easily removable.
  • An insulating cap 14 made of elastic material secures the seat of the pin holder 13 on the hinge pin 3 and influences the course of the arc in the switch. With a contact pressure spring 10, the required contact pressure on the main contacts 5, 11 is generated when the contact system is closed (see also FIG. 5).
  • the contact pressure spring 10 is held on the contact carrier part 1 and on the main arm 2 by spring receptacles 21, 22, respectively.
  • the effect of the contact pressure spring 10 is limited by a stop 23 which is located on the main arm 2.
  • the contact carrier part 1 shows an extension 24 below the main contact 5 with which the current flow is influenced in such a way that the electrodynamically acting forces increase the contact pressure on the main contacts 5, 11.
  • the contact carrier part 1 and the main arm 5 are U-shaped in cross section. In the OPEN position of the contact system, with the arc quenching chamber removed, the flexible band 9 can be detached from the fixed part of the contact system 8 via the flexible band fastening 15, which is easily accessible from above, and can be removed together with the contact carrier part 1 from the contact system.
  • Fig. 2 shows the disassembled movable contact arm with the contact arm support 1, the main arm 2 of the contact pressure spring 10, the pin holder 13 a flattened stop pin 16.
  • the contact support part 1 carries the fixed hinge pin 3, which is held in the slot hole 4 open on one side.
  • the pin holder 13, which is designed as a U-shaped leaf spring, lies after its placement with its back 17 on the flattened stop pin 16 of the recesses 20 in the main arm 2 relative to the one-sided one Slot holder 4 is stored.
  • bearing hole 4 sheet 13 - the side legs 18 of the U-shaped leaf spring can be bent slightly apart and thus release the hinge pin 3.
  • the movable main contact 5 initially rolls on the fixed contact 11 until the auxiliary contacts 6 and 12 touch each other.
  • the main contacts 5, 11 only open after the auxiliary contacts 6, 12 have touched.
  • the movable auxiliary contact 6 then lifts off the fixed auxiliary contact 12.
