    摘要: A microprocessor based switch such as a circuit breaker has a memory capacitor charged by the microprocessor to generate an analog equivalent of a digitally modelled heat state signal. A selected resistor discharges the capacitor at a rate which models a cooling rate of a load. Alternatively, the memory capacitor may be charged to a preset value and discharged at a rate representative of the time since a trip generates digital rms representations of analog load. Terminals for rapidly resetting the analog trip memory for calibration and field testing of a long delay trip are hidden behind a removable rating plug.

    摘要: A method and an apparatus for controlling a circuit breaker in an electrical energy supply network. A switching signal is generated by a protective or control device of the energy supply network and the switching signal is transmitted to a control unit of the circuit breaker. The control unit is caused to open the switching contacts of the circuit breaker upon reception of the switching signal. In order to ensure a switching operation which is as fast as possible even in those energy supply networks in which phases of the current to be switched by a circuit breaker which are free of zero crossings can occur, a current flowing through the circuit breaker is recorded and is checked for the occurrence of zero crossings. The transmission of the signal for opening the switching contacts is prevented until at least one zero crossing has been detected.

    摘要: A circuit breaker thermal-magnetic trip unit for arcing fault detection includes a current transformer having a gapped magnetic core arranged around the load side of the trip unit. The bimetal within the trip unit is positioned abutment with the gap in the transformer core to thereby heat the bimetal causing the bimetal to trip and separate the circuit breaker contacts.
