Combination switch and low voltage circuit breaker identification selection

Electrical appliance refers to an electrical device that can manually or automatically turn on or off a circuit according to externally applied signals or requirements, intermittently or continuously change circuit parameters, and switch, control, protect, detect, and regulate electrical or non-electrical objects. Or equipment. Low-voltage electrical appliances usually refer to appliances that work in circuits with rated AC voltages up to 1200V or DC voltages up to 1500V.
Low-voltage electrical appliances are generally divided into electrical appliances and control appliances according to their basic purposes. Distribution electrical appliances mainly include combination switches, low-voltage circuit breakers, fuses, and transformers. Control electrical appliances mainly include contactors, relays, and main control devices (including buttons, limit switches, and transfer switches).
Low-voltage electrical classification methods are: According to the operating mode is divided into automatic appliances and manual electrical appliances; according to the principle of operation is divided into electromagnetic appliances and non-electricity control electrical appliances; according to whether the contact is divided into contact electrical appliances, non-contact appliances and mixed Electrical appliances; According to the electrical configuration is divided into a single electrical and complete sets of electrical appliances; According to use occasions are divided into general industrial electrical appliances, chemical electrical appliances, mining electrical appliances, traction electrical appliances, aviation electrical appliances, marine appliances and so on.

The combination switch is often used as a transfer switch, but it is also used as an isolation switch in an electrical control circuit to act as an infrequent switch on and off the electrical control circuit.

1. Combined switch structure

The shape and structure of the combination switch are shown in Fig. 1. The combination switch is installed with three-layer switch components from the bottom to the top of the shaft 4. Each layer has a movable contact 8, a pair of static contacts 9 and a pair of terminals 1. Each layer controls the opening and closing of a branch, forming a three-pole combination switch. When the handle 3 is rotated through a certain angle, the three movable contacts in the three-layer switch assembly fixed on the rotary shaft are simultaneously turned to a new position, and are respectively connected or disconnected with the static contacts of each layer in the new position. open.
According to the different functions of the combination switch in the circuit, there are two types of combination switch patterns and text symbols. When used as isolating switch in the circuit, its picture symbol is shown in Fig. 2, its character label is QS, there are unipolar, bipolar and tripolar distinction, the electrical circuit of the machine tool generally adopts the three-pole combination switch.

According to the combination switch model, you can find more technical parameters, and the main technical parameters that characterize the performance of the combination switch are:
1) Rated voltage Rated voltage refers to the highest voltage that the switch can withstand in long-term operation under the specified conditions.
2) Rated current Rated current refers to the maximum operating current allowed to pass for a long time at the closing position under the specified conditions.
3) On-off capability The on-off capability refers to the maximum current value that can be reliably turned on and off at rated voltage under specified conditions.

5) The electrical life refers to the number of times that the load operation is performed under the specified normal working conditions without repair or replacement of parts.

When the combination switch is used as an isolating switch, its rated current should be lower than the sum of the load currents in the isolated circuit; when used to control the motor, its rated current is generally 1.5 to 2.5 times the rated current of the motor.
According to the actual needs of the electrical control circuit, determine the combination of switch wiring, and correctly select the specifications of the combination switch that meets the wiring requirements.

Low-voltage circuit breakers, also known as automatic switches and air switches, can be used not only to switch on and off the circuit frequently during normal conditions, but also to automatically cut off the fault circuit when an overload, short circuit or loss of voltage occurs in the circuit. It protects the electrical equipment connected in series, so it is widely used in electrical control circuits.

Figure 4 Low Voltage Circuit Breaker
1-Main contact 2 - Free tripping mechanism 3 - Overcurrent release 4 - Shunt release 5 - Thermal release 6 - Lossless release 7 - Button

Figure 4 is a schematic diagram of a low-voltage circuit breaker. The main contact 1 is manually or electrically closed by the operating mechanism. In the closing position, the free tripping mechanism 2 locks the main contact in the closed state. When the electrical control circuit works normally, the suction force generated by the coil of the over-current release 3 cannot pull the upper swing rod, and the short circuit fault occurs in the electrical control circuit. The short-circuit over-current increases the coil attraction force of the over-current release, and above the coil The pendulum-type armature pulls in and rotates counterclockwise around the fulcrum, the free tripping mechanism rises and releases the main contact, and the main contact is moved to the left to break the circuit under the action of the extension spring.

In the case of an overload fault in the electrical control circuit, the coil of the thermal release 5 heats the upper bimetal due to heat, since the coefficient of linear expansion of the lower metal material of the bimetal is larger than that of the upper layer, and the bimetal generates an upward warp after heating. , Push the free tripping mechanism up and the main contact trips the breaking circuit.
When the voltage loss occurs in the electrical control circuit, the suction force of the coil of the voltage loss tripping device 6 decreases, and the upper armature cannot be pulled in, so that the armature rises, causing the free tripping mechanism to rise, and the main contact trips to break the circuit.
The shunt release 4 is used as a remote control breaking circuit and is controlled by the button 7 and closes the remote button. Then, the shunt release coil pulls up the swing-type armature above the free trip mechanism to make the main Contact breaking circuit.
