Abstract:
A switchgear device including a main unit supporting an operating mechanism, and at least one auxiliary unit, wherein the units each includes a rotary bar mounted in a mobile contact bridge for rotation around an axis of rotation, and two stationary contacts are connected with the mobile contact bridge. The operating mechanism moves a drive rod through an angular path which results in moving all of the mobile contact bridges between an open position and a closed position. A stop, against which the drive rod presses in the closed position, limits movement of the drive rod, and applies a rotational torque to the drive rod to keep it parallel to the axis of rotation.
Abstract:
Provided herein is a power transmission mechanism of a four poles circuit breaker in which the contact points of a neutral pole thereof are brought into contact earlier at the time of closing and separated later at the time of opening than those of the other poles thereof, and according to the present invention, there is disclosed a power transmission mechanism of a four poles circuit breaker comprising: a switching shaft configured to provide a driving force for switching to the movable contactors of the poles; an arm provided to correspond to the four poles to transfer the rotational torque of the switching shaft; and a link configured to transfer the rotational torque of the arm to the movable contactor as a switching force, and provided to correspond to the four poles, wherein the sum of the length of the arm and the link in a neutral pole is longer than the sum of the length of the arm and the link in the poles excluding the neutral pole.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a circuit-breaking device for low-voltage systems with a control mechanism that has improved characteristics of compact size and reliability. The circuit-breaking device according to the invention comprises an outer housing containing, for each pole, at least one fixed contact and at least one moving contact suitable for being mutually coupled and uncoupled. The device also comprises a control mechanism comprising a supporting frame that supports a kinematic chain operatively connected to the moving contact so as to enable the latter to be coupled to or uncoupled from the fixed contact. The supporting frame comprises a pair of sides connected by means of a first transverse connecting portion and by further connection means that define a further transverse connecting portion in a different position from that of the first transverse connecting portion.

The present invention relates to a moving element for a low voltage switching device and to a switching device comprising this moving element. The moving element comprises a shaped body provided, for each pole, with a housing unit to house at least one electrical contact. The moving element also comprises an actuating connecting rod provided with a pair of lateral portions connected by a transverse portion. The actuating connecting rod is connected to the shaped body through pin connection means comprising a first and a second pin shaped portion, emerging from one side of a corresponding lateral portion. The shaped body comprises a pair of seats, each to house a corresponding pin shaped portion so as to define a rotation axis for the connecting rod with respect to the shaped body. The first lateral portion and the second lateral portion of the connecting rod respectively comprise a first and a second mating surface. The shaped body comprises a third mating surface and a fourth mating surface which respectively contact the first and the second mating surface of the actuating connecting rod.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a mold cased circuit breaker (MCCB) comprising a plurality of single pole breaking units simultaneously opened and closed by a pair of common shaft pins. The MCCB effectively transmits a torque for opening or closing contacts to adjacent single pole breaking unit for electrical pole with a minimized loss, and prevents the shaft pins from being bent. The MCCB comprises a crank installed across the pair of shaft pins so as to connect the shaft pins to each other.

Abstract:
Disclosed are a multi-pole circuit breaker and an apparatus for preventing deformation of a driving shaft thereof. The multi-pole circuit breaker includes: a plurality of single pole breaking units having a pair of fixed contactors, a movable contactor, and shafts; a switching mechanism disposed on a certain one of the plurality of single pole breaking units; a pair of driving shafts connected to each shaft; and a driving shaft deformation prevention unit disposed between the single pole breaking unit, spaced relatively far from the switching unit among the plurality of single pole breaking units, and the adjacent single pole breaking unit.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a multi-pole circuit breaker. The multi-pole circuit breaker includes: a substrate disposed between the single pole breaking unit, spaced relatively far from the switching mechanism as compared to the other single pole breaking units among the plurality of single breaking units, and the adjacent single pole breaking unit; a link mechanism rotatably supported on the substrate; and springs having one ends supported by the substrate and the other ends supported by the link mechanism.
Abstract:
This concerns a four pole molded case circuit breaker having separable main contacts and an operating mechanism utilized to cause the separable main contacts to open and close. A trip unit is provided to actuate the operating mechanism in desirable circumstances. The circuit breaker in this case has four-poles, one of which is a neutral pole. The circuit breaker trip unit has rotatable trip bars therein, one of which is associated with the three-line terminals and one of which is associated with the neutral terminal. If the line terminal trip bar is actuated to move because of a fault to overload in one of the line terminals, only the line terminals will open because the neutral trip bar will not be moved. However, if the neutral trip bar is moved because of a predescribed neutral current value in the neutral conductor all of the contacts including the neutral contact will be opened because of the interlocking arrangement between the neutral trip bar and the line trip bar.
Abstract:
