摘要:
A thermomagnetic circuit breaker in a preformed housing comprises a display means for selective display of the reasons for tripping. Tripping bars, actuable independently of one another, include a release function as well as a display function. Alternatively, display may take place with additional trip levers. Combinations of independently actuable tripping bars and an operating handle provide a display means for display of an overload, momentary, ground fault or accessory trip condition.

A clapper armature system for a circuit breaker includes a heater having a heater element and a pair of electrical conductors. The heater element is electrically connected to and disposed between the conductors. The conductors are spaced from the heater element to provide a pair of slots between the conductors and the heater element. A heat sensitive strip having one end electrically connected to at least one conductor is disposed proximate the heater element. A yoke has a pair of arms with each arm passing through a respective slot of the heater. The heater element and heat sensitive strip are disposed between the arms and provide a plurality of current paths between the arms. A clapper is disposed pivotally proximate the arms. The clapper pivots to the arms of the yoke to open a pair of separable contacts of the circuit breaker in response to a predetermined current passing through the heater and heat sensitive strip.

An adjustable magnetic trip unit for a circuit breaker (1) is equipped with a magnet yoke (16), an armature element (18) that works therewith to actuate a trip shaft (14), and an adjusting bar (23) that can be tilted about the axis (15) of the trip shaft (14) for adjusting the distance (L) between the magnet yoke (16) and the armature element (18). This magnetic trip unit can be used in a circuit breaker (1) having a plurality of breaker cassettes (30) arranged adjacent to one another wherein the adjusting bar (23) extends parallel to the axis (15) of the tripping shaft (14) and on which are arranged a plurality of adjusting arms (24) corresponding to the number of breaker cassettes (30).

An electrical switch is disclosed, especially a circuit breaker. In addition, a method for improving such a switch is also disclosed. In order to protect an electrical switch in an especially simple manner from contamination and/or damage by erosion materials, it is proposed to cover a few or all functional parts of the switch at least partly with a protective material, wherein the protective material involves a viscous, temperature-resistant mass.

A thermal trip unit within a multi-pole circuit breaker includes a bimetal element having an off-set end to provide cam function during the calibration of the bimetal element. A calibration screw is threadingly engaged within the bimetal element and is adjusted at various calibration levels by means of a step motor driver element.

An electric switch is disclosed. In at least one embodiment, the switch includes a rotor housing; at least one electric contact arm, rotatably mounted in the rotor housing and being pivotable between an on-position and an off-position as well as relative to the rotor housing; and at least one intermediate part which, in a locking position, locks the pivotable contact arm with the rotor housing and, in the event of a relative rotation between the pivotable contact arm and the rotor housing, is moved away from the predefined locking position.
