Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf einen Leitungsschutzschalter in Schmalbauweise, an dessen Schmalseiten jeweils außer einer Klemme für den Außenleiter, früher Phasenleiter genannt, auch eine Klemme für einen Neutralleiter ausgebildet ist. Die Klemmen sind jeweils schräg übereinander anordnet, bezogen auf eine Aufsicht auf die Schmalseite. Bezogen auf die übliche Einbaulage in einer Verteilung, wobei die Basis des Leitungsschutzschalters auf Tragschienen parallel zu einer Einbauwand angeordnet ist, wird die Steigleitung von unten angeschlossen und die Verzweigungsleitung zu Verbrauchern wird oben angeschlossen. Nach französischem Brauch ist die untere Klemmenanordnung derart, dass der Außenleiter rechts oben und der Neutralleiter schräg links unten angeordnet ist. In übrigen europäischen Ländern ist die Klemme für den Außenleiter meist links oben und die Klemme für den Neutralleiter schräg rechts unten angeordnet.The invention relates to a miniature circuit breaker in narrow construction, at the narrow sides in each case except a terminal for the outer conductor, formerly called phase conductor, a terminal for a neutral conductor is formed. The clamps are each arranged diagonally one above the other, based on a view of the narrow side. Relative to the usual installation position in a distribution, wherein the base of the circuit breaker is arranged on mounting rails parallel to a mounting wall, the riser is connected from below and the branch line to consumers is connected at the top. According to French custom, the lower terminal assembly is such that the outer conductor is located on the top right and the neutral conductor is located obliquely on the lower left. In other European countries, the terminal for the outer conductor is usually located at the top left and the terminal for the neutral conductor at an angle lower right.
Wenn man beide oder noch andere Märkte beliefern will, sind entsprechend viele Teile - Baugruppen und Geräte - gesondert zu entwickeln, was einen erheblichen Aufwand an Investitionen bei Forschung und Entwicklung bedeutet.If you want to supply both or even other markets, you have to develop a corresponding number of parts - assemblies and devices - separately, which means a considerable investment in research and development.
Aus dieser Situation heraus hat man bisher sogenannte linke und rechte Geräte entwickelt, wobei sich unterschiedliche Teile, wie Gehäuse, Deckel, Isolationszwischenstücke, elektrische Anschlussleiter usw. ergeben haben. Man hat auch schon die Geräte um 180° so gewendet eingesetzt, dass die Geräteoberseite die bisherige Geräteunterseite darstellt und umgekehrt. Hierdurch kann man zwar die Lage des Außenleiters und des N-Leiters vertauschen, es müssen jedoch Schaltschlossteile, beispielsweise Griff und Bügel, geändert werden, da die Vorschriften eine Einschaltrichtung von unten nach oben - bezogen auf die Einbaulage in einem Verteilergehäuse in einer Einbauwand - verlangen.From this situation, so far so-called left and right devices have been developed, with different parts, such as housing, cover, insulation spacers, electrical connection conductors, etc. have emerged. It has also been used the devices turned by 180 ° so that the top of the device represents the previous bottom of the device and vice versa. As a result, although you can swap the position of the outer conductor and the N-conductor, however, it must be Schaltschlossteile, such as handle and bracket changed, since the rules a switch-on from bottom to top - in relation to the mounting position in a distributor housing in a mounting wall - require.
Die Anordnung der Klemmen variiert also nach den jeweiligen Absatzmärkten, was besonders bei Leitungsschutzschaltern in der Breite einer sogenannten einen Teilungseinheit zu den geschilderten Schwierigkeiten geführt hat.The arrangement of the terminals thus varies according to the respective sales markets, which has led to the described difficulties especially in circuit breakers in the width of a so-called a division unit.
Aus der
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Leitungsschutzschalter in Schmalbauweise zu entwickeln, der hinsichtlich der Klemmenanordnung so weit universell ist, dass in Fertigung und Lagerhaltung eine wesentliche Vereinfachung erzielt wird.The invention has for its object to develop a miniature circuit breaker, which is so universal with respect to the terminal assembly that in production and storage a significant simplification is achieved.
Die Lösung der geschilderten Aufgabe erfolgt nach der Erfindung durch einen Leitungsschutzschalter nach Anspruch 1. Hiernach sind die Schalterkomponenten in einem Basiskörper angeordnet, der an seinen Gehäuseschmalseiten jeweils ein Aufnahmeprofil für ein Einsatzteil bildet, das innerhalb des Aufnahmeprofils Aussparungen in seinem Körper aufweist, die zusammen mit dem Aufnahmeprofil Klemmenöffnungen gemäß Varianten bilden. Die Vorhaltung für spezielle Märkte wird dadurch wesentlich einfacher und kostengünstiger.The solution of the described object is achieved according to the invention by a circuit breaker according to
Das Einsatzteil kann für die Mehrzahl der Märkte in zwei Varianten ausgeführt werden, wobei die Klemmen in einer schrägen Anordnung von links oben nach rechts unten oder von rechts oben nach links unten vorgesehen werden, wenn man sich an der Aufsicht auf eine Schmalseite orientiert. Üblicherweise sind die Klemmen für den Außenleiter dabei oben und die Klemmen für den Neutralleiter unten angeordnet. Für einen Verbrauchermarkt, der bezogen auf die Einbaulage des Leitungsschutzschalters in einer Verteilung an seiner unteren Schmalseite die Klemmen von links oben nach rechts unten aufweist, ist für die obere Schmalseite bei üblicher Ausführung eine Klemmenanordnung von rechts oben nach links unten vorzusehen. Wenn die Stromführung also durch den Leitungsschutzschalter, bezogen auf die Außenansicht, geradlinig durchgeht, kommt man mit lediglich zwei Ausführungen des Einsatzteils aus. Hierbei ist einmal an der unteren Schmalseite des Leitungsschutzschalters die Klemmenanordnung links oben und rechts unten vorzusehen und an der oberen Schmalseite die Ausführung des Einsatzteils derart, dass die Klemmen rechts oben und links unten angeordnet sind. Für andere Verbrauchermärkte sind lediglich die beiden Einsatzteile hinsichtlich der oberen und unteren Anordnung am Leitungsschutzschalter auszuwechseln.The insert can be made in two variants for the majority of markets, the clamps being provided in an oblique arrangement from top left to bottom right or from top right to bottom left, if the top is oriented on a narrow side. Usually, the terminals for the outer conductor are at the top and the Terminals for the neutral conductor arranged below. For a consumer market, based on the installation position of the circuit breaker in a distribution on its lower narrow side, the terminals from top left to bottom right, is provided for the upper narrow side in the conventional design, a terminal arrangement from top right to bottom left. So if the power supply through the circuit breaker, Based on the external view, goes straight through, one comes out with only two versions of the insert. Here, once on the lower narrow side of the circuit breaker, the terminal assembly left top and bottom right provide and on the upper narrow side, the execution of the insert part such that the terminals are right upper and lower left. For other consumer markets, only the two inserts are to be replaced with regard to the upper and lower assembly on the circuit breaker.
Es ist vorteilhaft, wenn das Aufnahmeprofil an seinen Seitenrändern gegenüberliegend im Bereich der Klemmenöffnung zurückversetzt ausgebildet ist und wenn Einsatzteile nicht benötigte Öffnungen mit einer Nase füllen, wobei die Einsatzteile für eine benötigte Öffnung dem Aufnahmeprofil entgegen zurückversetzt ausgebildet sind, so dass sie eine Klemmenöffnung je nach Variante bilden können. Eine derartige Ausführung realisiert in einfacher Weise eine variable Klemmenanordnung.It is advantageous if the receiving profile is formed recessed on its side edges opposite in the region of the terminal opening and if inserts fill unneeded openings with a nose, wherein the inserts for a required opening the recessed profile are set back, so that they have a terminal opening depending on Can form variant. Such an embodiment realized in a simple manner a variable terminal arrangement.
Die Einsatzteile können also Klemmenöffnungen links oben und rechts unten oder rechts oben und links unten bilden.The inserts can therefore form terminal openings top left and bottom right or top right and bottom left.
