Definitions

  • the invention relates to a switching device, in particular a
  • Protective switching device with a universally usable and uniform switch assembly, which has at least one or more permanently integrated first contact means for one or more conductors to be connected on the input side and with insulating housing parts assigned for each contact means.
  • Switchgear of this type meet the stresses that arise when switching on and off electrical equipment in the undisturbed and in the disturbed operating state. Possibly.
  • a switching device as a protective switching device also fulfills overload and short-circuit conditions.
  • a switching device of the first type is known from EP 0 511 043 AI, which is designed here in such a way that it has an additional contact block.
  • the contacts of the contact block are coupled to the switching mechanism of the switching device.
  • a protective switching device of the second type is known from DE 196 38 653 Cl.
  • an auxiliary switch additional block is used for insertion into a housing opening of an electrical switching device with main contacts, the contacts of the auxiliary switch additional block being switched with the main contacts of the switching device.
  • pre-assembled plugs are used for fast and, if necessary, reverse polarity-proof connection to devices or terminal strips.
  • a switching device of the type mentioned at the beginning in which, according to the invention, at least one adapter which is independent of the switch assembly and can be arranged in the connection to at least one of the conductors is provided and has a second contact means which on the one hand has at least one of the Conductor and on the other hand can be contacted with the first contact means and the second contact means in the sense of defined air and creepage distances at least multi-sided insulating isolating elements.
  • the invention is particularly suitable for use in a protective switching device. It is also achieved with this invention that the adapter can be mounted on the existing connection means of the switching device, so that a standardized switching device, e.g. according to IEC 60947, can be retrofitted to a so-called “Self-Protected Coordination Controller Type E * according to UL 508”.
  • the switch assembly advantageously has at least one adapter on the input and one on the output side, so that the switch module can be easily adapted to the requirements of UL 489 and thus meets the requirements of a prescribed circuit breaker. At least two wall-like separating elements are expediently provided for each contact means. In this way, the insulation properties of the adapter can be improved even with minimal effort.
  • At least two angled separating elements are provided per contact means, so that large separating distances are provided with a small amount of material.
  • At least one frame-like separating element is provided per contact means, whereby a large clearance and creepage distance is easily formed.
  • the separating elements are designed and / or arranged in the sense of an air gap of> 1 inch and a creepage distance of> 2 inches.
  • a receptacle for connecting at least t one of the conductors is advantageously assigned to the second contact means, so that reliable and quick contacting is provided in a simple manner.
  • the receiving space is advantageously divided and at least one of the conductors can be connected in each part, which favors the geometric design of the adapter.
  • two conductors can be clamped, for example one above the other, which results in a space saving which allows several separating elements to be arranged between the contact means.
  • the adapter can advantageously be arranged and / or fixed in a form-fitting manner on the switch assembly, so that the adapter can be easily and precisely fitted to form a homogeneous housing surface.
  • the first contact means can advantageously be covered by an aperture, so that there is a closed housing in this area, as a result of which contamination which could favor the formation of a creepage distance is avoided.
  • FIG. 1 shows a protective switching device with an adapter and with an aperture in a spatial representation
  • FIG 2 and 3 an adapter according to FIG 1 in a front and rear view.
  • the switching device 1 shows a switching device 1 with a universally usable and uniform switch module 2, which has a first and a second permanently integrated connection unit 3 or 4.
  • the switching device 1 can in particular be designed as a protective switching device.
  • first contact means 7; 8 are so-called combination screws, each of which has a connecting terminal with a roof washer. Perpendicular to entrances 5; 6 and thus on the insertion side there is a first and a second connection space 9 for conductors 10 to be connected.
  • insulating housing parts 11 arranged, which can be designed web-like and / or flush with the surface.
  • An adapter 12 can be arranged on the switch assembly 2 and has at least one second contact means 13, shown schematically here.
  • the second contact means 13 is provided with at least one connection element 14 and is in an electrically conductive connection with it.
  • the connection elements 14 can be electrically and mechanically connected to the first or to the second corresponding contact means 7 or 8 of the switch assembly 2.
  • the switching device 1 is therefore composed of the switch assembly 2 and the adapter 12 connected to it.
  • the adapter 12 can advantageously be arranged in a form-fitting manner, in particular by means of the molded part 15 and recess 16, on the switch assembly 2, so that a switching device unit can be formed. This can be done by simply mounting the adapter 12 on the switch assembly 2 without disassembling components of the switching device 1.
  • the adapter 12 acts in the sense of reverse polarity protection and thus contributes to the reduction of possible connection errors.
  • the entrances 5; 6 of the two connection units 3 and 4 can also be covered on the front by a panel 17, so that the housing of the switching device 1 is advantageously closed.
  • One of the entrances 5; 6 final slide-in panel is also possible in a further embodiment as a housing closure.
  • the adapter 12 also has separating elements 18, which surround the second contact means 13 on the front and insertion side, at least on several sides.
  • the separating elements 18 serve to improve the insulation properties, in particular with regard to definable air and creepage distances between two adjacent contact means 13 or between the second contact means 13 and an electrically conductive part in or on the switching device 1.
  • the separating elements 18 can be designed in various design variants according to FIG. 2 as wall-like, angled or frame-like separating elements 18a, 18b or 18c and also as partition walls or ribs.
  • the adapter 12 according to FIG. 1, is shown in a perspective view in a spatial representation, at least two wall-like separating elements 18a being arranged laterally per second contact means 13 and / or the contact means 13 in each case on one of the inlet-side adjoining ends Surface 19 have angled separating elements 18b.
  • the contact means 13 have frame-like separating elements 18c on the insertion side, which in this embodiment are designed as a closed frame and / or form an air gap of> 1 inch and a creepage distance of> 2 inches.
  • frame-like separating elements 18c on the insertion side, which in this embodiment are designed as a closed frame and / or form an air gap of> 1 inch and a creepage distance of> 2 inches.
  • the second contact means 13 are designed as connecting terminals, each with a receiving space 20.
  • the receiving spaces 20 are designed so that two conductors 10 to be connected can be received per second contact means 13.
  • the receiving spaces 20 are advantageously one above the other, so that, for example, on a width of 45 mm of the adapter 12 three contact means 13, each with two
  • Separating elements 18 can be accommodated.
  • connection spaces 20 next to one another, a separating element 18 being able to be placed between the contact means 13 with the same overall width. Accordingly, to achieve a creepage distance of> 2 inches between two adjacent contact means 13, a separating element height of> 1 inch, instead of ⁇ inches according to the aforementioned embodiment, can be given.
  • a separating element height of> 1 inch instead of ⁇ inches according to the aforementioned embodiment, can be given.
  • FIG 3 shows the adapter 12, according to FIGS. 1 and 2, in a rear view with Y-shaped connecting elements 14.
  • the type of design of the uniform switch assembly 2 described above to ensure electrical insulation properties can be used in the same or a modified version for a line protection, motor protection or circuit breaker. Equally, this applies to an electromagnetic switchgear or DIN rail mounted device, e.g. a contactor or a relay can be transferred.
  • An essential idea of the present idea is to achieve a switching device 1 that is easy to manufacture and assemble on the basis of a uniform switch assembly 2 and with regard to the electrical insulation properties to be ensured, with a switching connection 1 between a first contact means 7; 8 and a conductor 10 to be connected can be arranged with an adapter 12 having a second contact means which, in the sense of defined air and creepage distances, have isolating separating elements 18 which enclose at least several sides.
