Definitions

  • Such contactors and such load branches are well known. Often, in the contactor main actuators, by means of which the main terminals are actuated, accessible from the edge regions. Furthermore, additional operating elements by means of which the additional terminals can be actuated are often accessible from the central area.
  • cables are clamped in the additional terminals of both additional connection areas. At least those additional lines, which are clamped in an additional terminal facing the accessory, must therefore be performed either over the central region and the side facing away from the attachment edge region or on the attachment.
  • This approach is disadvantageous because it affects access to the contactor or the attachment and the view of the contactor or the attachment. Furthermore, this embodiment is unaesthetic.
  • a low-voltage circuit breaker having a front and a rear wall having housing, the front wall of the rear wall opposite and is formed as an operating side.
  • the housing further comprises two side and a bottom and a top surface, which connect the front and the rear wall.
  • the side surfaces are on the one hand opposite each other and the bottom and the top surface are on the other hand opposite each other.
  • a cable channel is integrated, which extends substantially over the entire width of the low-voltage circuit breaker and in the direction of the housing front wall has one or more passages for passing connecting lines between current transformers and a front electronic trip unit.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a way to avoid the disadvantages mentioned above.
  • the object is achieved in a contactor of the type mentioned above in that in the central region a duct is introduced, which extends from the one of the edge regions to the other of the edge regions.
  • the object for the load branch described above is achieved in that the contactor is designed as described last and the at least one additional line is guided through the duct.
  • the duct runs parallel to the side surfaces. It can be arranged centrally in relation to the side surfaces. Preferably, however, the duct is located closer to one side surface than to the other side surface.
  • the duct has one of the side wall facing a channel wall and the other side surface facing channel wall.
  • the channel wall facing the other side surface is arranged closer to the one side surface than to the other side surface.
  • the contactor has a plunger.
  • the plunger is accessible from the central area.
  • the plunger is arranged closer to the other side surface than on the one side surface.
  • the duct can be covered by a flap. It is possible that the flap covers the duct and other elements - for example, the entire central area. Preferably, however, by means of the flap only the duct can be covered.
  • FIG. 1 has a load feeder on a contactor 1 and an accessory 2.
  • the load branch is arranged between a power grid 3 and a load 4.
  • the attachment 2 is according to FIG. 1 designed as a circuit breaker. It is upstream of the contactor 1.
  • the contactor 1 has a housing 5.
  • the housing 5 has a mounting side 6, an operating side 7, two main connection surfaces 8, 8 'and two side surfaces 9, 9'.
  • the operator side 7 is opposite to the mounting side 6.
  • the main connection surfaces 8, 8 ' are opposite each other.
  • the side surfaces 9, 9 ' face each other.
  • the operating side 7 has a raised central region 10 and two edge regions 11, 11 'adjoining the middle region 10 on both sides of the middle region 10.
  • FIG. 1 Schematically illustrated main terminals 13, 13 ', which are connected to load contacts 14 of the contactor 1, have main receiving openings 15, 15'.
  • the main receiving openings 15, 15 ' are main lines 16, 16' insertable.
  • the insertability is in this case given by one of the main connection surfaces 8, 8 '.
  • the contactor 1 further comprises schematically indicated additional terminals 17, 17 '.
  • the additional terminals 17, 17 'additional lines 18, 18' to the contactor 1 can be connected.
  • the additional terminals 17, 17' have additional receiving openings 19, 19 ', in which the additional lines 18, 18th 'are insertable.
  • the additional lines 18, 18 'are in this case of one of the additional connection surfaces 12, 12' from in the additional receiving openings 19, 19 'insertable.
  • main terminals 13, 13 ' are designed as screw terminals.
  • main operating elements 20, 20 '(namely screws), by means of which the main clamps 13, 13' are actuated, are accessible from the edge regions 11, 11 '.
  • the additional terminals 17, 17 ' are also designed as screw terminals.
  • additional operating elements 21, 21 ' (namely screws again), by means of which the additional terminals 17, 17' are actuated, accessible from the central region 10 from.
  • the attachment 2 is mechanically and electrically connected to the contactor 1 on one of the main connection surfaces 8, 8 '.
  • an intermediate element 22 may be arranged, which causes the electrical and mechanical connection of the auxiliary device 2 with the contactor 1.
  • a duct 23 is introduced, which extends from the one of the edge regions 11, 11 'to the other of the edge regions 11, 11'. Through the duct 23 through at least one of the additional lines 18 is guided, which is clamped in one of the auxiliary device 2 facing additional terminals 17.
  • the reference numeral 24 denotes a center line, which runs centrally between the side surfaces 9. As can be seen, the duct 23 extends parallel to the side surfaces 9, but is arranged off-center, namely closer to one side surface 9 than to the other side surface 9 '.
  • the duct 23 has two channel walls 25, 25 '.
  • the one channel wall 25 faces the one side surface 9, the other channel wall 25 'of the other side surface 9'.
  • the other side surface 9 'facing channel wall 25' is arranged closer to the one side surface 9 than on the other side surface 9 '.
  • the duct 23 is in the embodiment of FIGS. 2 and 3 thus completely closer to the one side surface 9 arranged as on the other side surface 9 '.
  • the duct 23 is preferably coverable by means of a flap 26.
  • the conduit 23 can be covered. It would be, however alternatively possible to cover also other elements - in particular the entire central region 10 - with the flap 26.
  • the contactor 1 has a plunger 27.
  • the plunger 27 is according to FIG. 3 accessible from the central area 10.
  • the plunger 27 is in this case arranged closer to the other side surface 9 'than on the one side surface 9. It is thus also arranged off-center.
  • an auxiliary device can be actuated, the operator side of the contactor 1 can be attached.
