Definitions
- This invention relates to circuit breaker assemblies having an improved latching system that substantially decreases mechanical trip time.
- the improved latching system can be utilized, but not limited to circuit breaker assemblies rated for residential and lower current industrial applications and for high ampere- rated circuit breaker assemblies.
- circuit breaker assemblies utilize a thermal-magnetic trip unit to automatically sense overcurrent circuit conditions and to subsequently interrupt circuit current accordingly. It is the practice of the circuit protection industry to mount a magnet portion of the magnetic trip unit around a bimetal trip unit and to arrange an armature as part of the circuit breaker latching system. It is well appreciated in the electric circuit protection field that the latching surfaces within the circuit breakers latching system must be carefully machined and lubricated in order to ensure repeated latching and unlatching between the surfaces over long periods of continuous use.
- the special machining that is required includes a time consuming polishing process or a special machining or shaving operation on the latch systems latch surfaces.
- the smooth low friction surfaces are required to minimize the amount of tripping force that must be applied to overcome the bias of the operating spring and the static friction on the contracting latch surfaces.
- the trip force is the amount of force that must be applied to the trip bar to overcome the latch spring bias and latch surface friction
- a magnetic trip unit comprising an armature and a magnet is actuated upon the occurrence of an overcurrent condition.
- the actuation causes the armature, which is biased away from the magnet by a spring, to be rapidly driven towards the magnet so that a trip bar is activated.
- the thermal trip unit comprising a bimetal element senses overcurrent conditions by responding to the temperature rise on the bimetal element. When an overcurrent condition occurs over a period of time, the bimetal flexes and activates the trip bar.
- the trip bar sets in motion the activation and disengagement of a latching system comprising a primary latch, secondary latch, and a cradle.
- the trip bar secured to the secondary latch, drives the secondary latch clockwise about a fixed point so that the secondary latch is moved out of contact with the primary latch.
- the primary latch in turn is positioned to prevent the rotation of the cradle.
- the cradle acts on the primary latch urging it to rotate clockwise about a fixed point. Once the primary latch is moved out of contact with the cradle, the cradle is released allowing it to rotate counterclockwise about a fixed point.
- the upper and lower links collapse under the biasing of an operating spring to draw a moveable contact arm containing a moveable contact to the open position.
- the moveable contact and a fixed contact are separated thereby terminating the circuit.
- the primary latch and the secondary latch have a plurality of latching surfaces.
- the latching surfaces are defined as the surface of the latch that makes physical contact with any adjoining surface.
- the first latching surface of the secondary latch is positioned against the second latching surface of the primary latch.
- a first latching surface of the primary latch is positioned against the latching surface of the cradle.
- both the cradle and the primary latch are fabricated from a stamping operation followed by a shaving operation to flatten and smooth the latching surface of the cradle and the latching surfaces on the primary latch to maintain a low trip force between the cradle and the primary latch.
- a primary latching force provided by the operating spring.
- This force must be great enough to overcome the friction forces acting between the first latching surface of the primary latch and the latching surface of the cradle. If contaminants or other sources cause the friction between these latching surfaces to become too large the first latching surface of the primary latch will not rotate and release the cradle so that the system is in a stalled situation.
- circuit breakers have a size limitation imposed upon them in order to fit into panel boards of residential, office and light industrial applications. While the outer dimensions of the circuit breaker are fixed, short circuit current magnitudes available from electrical utilities have increased, requiring circuit breaker designers to seek new and improved operating and trip mechanisms which limit the energy let-through. To do this, one must minimize the current and/or the time from the onset of overload to arc extinction. One way to accomplish this is to provide an extremely fast acting circuit breaker capable of early contact separation upon detection of an overload.
- a molded case circuit breaker capable of exceedingly fast tripping action effective in limiting to acceptable levels let-through energy incident with a high fault current interruption. This is accomplished by utilizing an improved latching system employed to immediately release the primary latch once the secondary latch is disengaged by the actuation of the trip bar. Once the primary latch is set free it subsequently releases the cradle so that the breaker mechanism is tripped by the movement of the link system comprising an upper link, a lower link and the operating spring thereby allowing the moveable contact and the fixed contact to separate thereby terminating the circuit.
- This immediate release of the primary latch upon the secondary latch disengagement, achieves contact separation in significantly shorter time than when reliance for the release of the cradle is solely dependent upon the cradle forces and minimal friction between the cradle surface and the primary latch surface.
- the improved latching system comprises the primary latch, the secondary latch and the trip bar.
- the improved latching system is designed to function so that upon activation of the trip bar and the disengagement of the secondary latch, the primary latch, being in direct physical contact with the trip bar/secondary latch configuration is immediately released.
- the primary latch and the secondary latch are shaped and positioned so that once the trip bar is activated, an extension on the secondary latch acts directly on an extension on the primary latch.
- the secondary latch drives the primary latch clockwise about its pivot point to positively release the cradle.
- the timing is such that as soon as the secondary latch clears the primary latch the primary latch is also freed.
- the timing of the release of the cradle is immediately after the release of the primary latch from the secondary latch.
- the mechanical trip time is decreased thereby limiting the energy let-through to an acceptable value. Additionally, the release of the cradle is no longer only dependent on the cradle forces and the finishing of the latching surfaces to reduce friction to effectuate tripping of the breaker.

It is to be appreciated that this invention deals with one, two, three, or four-pole circuit breakers formed with one or multiple adjacent compartments for housing multiple pole units, a common operating mechanism is provided to simultaneously actuate the interrupter of each pole. For ease of illustration the Figures will show only one pole.
- Figure 1 shows a circuit breaker used for lower circuit interruption applications.
- the invention can also be used in many different types of circuit breaker assemblies. When activated, the invention operates in the same manner regardless of which circuit breaker assembly in which it is mounted. Therefore, when describing the prior art, Figure 1 will be referenced however it is to be appreciated that the improved latching system 92 can be utilized in any type circuit breaker assembly.
- the circuit breaker assembly 10 includes an insulative housing 12 shown with one side of the circuit breaker removed. At one end of the housing 12 exists a line strap 14 and a line terminal screw 16. Permanently affixed to the line strap 14 is a fixed contact 18. When the circuit breaker assembly 10 is in an on mode the fixed contact 18 makes electrical contact with a moveable contact 20 which is permanently affixed to a first end 22 of a moveable operating arm 24. At the opposite end of the housing 12 exists a load lug 26 that connects with a bimetal 28 by means of a load strap 30. A braided conductor 32 electrically connects the bimetal 28 to the moveable operating arm 24.
- the moveable operating arm 24 is pivotally connected at a second end 34 intermediate to a pivot 35 and pivotally connected by a pivot 37 at a distance from the second end 34 to a first end 36 of a lower link 38.
- a second end 40 of the lower link 38 is pivotally connected to a first end 42 of an upper link 44, which in turn is pivotally connected at a second end 46 to a cradle 48.
- the cradle 48 is used to mechanically interact with a latching system 68 and a trip unit assembly 50 with the moveable operating arm 24.
- An on-off handle 52 operatively connects with the moveable operating arm 24 by means of a handle yoke 54, a mechanism spring 56 and the upper and lower links 44, 38.
- the handle yoke 54 connects the mechanism spring 56 with the upper and lower links 44, 38 through an operating springs support pin 58.
- a magnetic trip unit 60 comprising an armature 62 and a magnet 64.
- a magnetic attraction is immediately generated between the armature 62 and the magnet 64.
- the armature 62 is drawn in the direction of the magnet 64 which strikes a trip bar 66 thereby setting into motion the activation of a latching system 68.
- a thermal trip unit 70 that reacts to temperature rise on the bimetal element 28 causing the bimetal 28 to flex and strike the trip bar 66 which in turn activates the latching system 68.
- the latching system 68 comprises a primary latch 72, a secondary latch 74 and the trip bar 66.
- a cradle latching surface 76 exists at the end of the cradle 48 located opposite the cradle 48 connection with the upper link 44.
- Setting the latching system 68 includes positioning the cradle latch surface 76 under a first primary latching surface 78 so that the first primary latching surface 78 prevents the cradle 48 from rotating counterclockwise about its pivot point.
- a second primary latching surface 80 is positioned against a first secondary latching surface 82 so that the secondary latch 74 is in the path of the primary latch 72 preventing the primary latch 72 from rotating clockwise about its pivot point.
- the trip bar 66 comprises a projection 84, a leg 86 and a crosspiece 87 wherein the trip bar crosspiece 87 fits in a slot 89 on the secondary latch 74.
- a secondary latch pivot pin 88 allows the trip bar projection 84 and the trip bar leg 86 to rotate clockwise upon contact with the bimetal 28 or the armature 62.
- the secondary latch further comprises a leg 91 which snappingly engages a lip 93 on the trip bar 66 so that when activated, the two rotate together.
- the biasing force pulls at the cradle 48 so that the cradle latching surface 76 pushes up on the first primary latching surface 78.
- the force exerted by the cradle 48 acting on the primary latch 72 overcomes the friction force between the two latching surfaces, it drives the primary latch 72 in a clockwise direction thereby freeing the cradle latching surface 76.
- the cradle 48 rotates counterclockwise thereby collapsing the upper link 44 and the lower link 38 so that the moveable operating arm 24 can move to the open position. This separates the moveable contact 20 and the fixed contact 18 so that the current flow is terminated.
- the improved latching system 92 comprises a quick release primary latch 94, an interactive secondary latch 96 and the trip bar 66.
- the quick release primary latch 94 comprising a top cross bar 100 having a primary latch extension 102 extending generally pe ⁇ endicular to the top cross bar 100 at approximately the midpoint of the top cross bar 100.
- the primary latch extension 102 being of sufficient length so that a bottom surface 104 of the extension 102 becomes a first primary latching surface 106 capable of interfacing with the cradle latch surface 76 to prevent the cradle 48 from counterclockwise rotation.
- a cam element 124 extends.
- the formation of the cam element 124 as shown in Figure 8 is illustrative and is not meant to be limiting.
- the trip bar 66 as shown in Figure 7, comprises the trip bar projection 84 and the trip bar leg 86.
- the trip bar 66 can freely rotate.
- the interactive secondary latch 96 further comprises a step 130 and a leg 132. Wherein the leg 132 securely snaps into the lip 93 on the trip bar 66 such that when the trip bar 66 is activated by movement of the armature 62 or the bimetal 28, the interactive secondary latch 96 pivots clockwise with the trip bar 66.
- the step 130 is designed to make physical contact with the cam element 124 upon the release of the interactive secondary latch 96.
- the improved latching system 92 is set in the manner previously described, a second primary latching surface 134 is positioned against a first secondary latching surface 136 so that the quick release primary latch
- the trip bar 66 When the trip bar 66 is activated, it drives the interactive secondary latch 96 clockwise so that the second primary latching surface 134 and the first secondary latching surface 136 are moved out of contact with each other thereby releasing the quick release primary latch 94.
- the activated latching system 68 would depend on the cradle forces to drive the primary latch 72 clockwise so that the first primary latching surface 78 moves thereby releasing the cradle latching surface 76.
- the step 130 makes physical contact with the cam element 124. This results in the immediate rotation of the quick release primary latch 94 thereby moving the first primary latching surface 106 out of contact with the cradle latching surface 76.
- the cradle 48 rotates counterclockwise thereby collapsing the upper link 44 and the lower link 38 so that the moveable operating arm 24 can move to the open position. This separates the moveable contact 20 and the fixed contact 18 so that the current flow is terminated.
- the cam element 124, located on the quick release primary latch 94, and the step 130, located on the interactive secondary latch 96, are designed so that the moment the first secondary latching surface 136 clears the second primary latching surface 134, the step 130 makes physical contact with the cam element 124.
- a second embodiment of the present invention relies on a linkage mechanism 138 positioned between and physically connecting the trip bar 66 and the quick release primary latch 94.
- the linkage mechanism 138 is utilized to drive the quick release primary latch 94 clockwise about its pivot point as the trip bar 66 is activated. This insures positive tripping and the elimination of any possibility of a stalled situation.
