Abstract

This switching element for an electrical energy distribution board comprises a distribution bar and a support plate on which the distribution bar is fixed. The switching element comprises a coil, a contact movable under the action of the coil, said contact being mounted movably in a chamber. Said chamber comprises two parts intended to be mounted on the distribution board (P) in such a way that the movable contact acts on said bar, said chamber being furnished with means of fixing to the distribution bar or to the plate, the switching element being non-removably fixed by said chamber onto the distribution board (P).

Claims (11)

1. A switching element for an electrical energy distribution board comprising a distributing bar and a support plate on which the distributing bar is fastened, the switching element comprising a coil and a contact that is movable under the action of the coil, said contact being movably mounted in a chamber, characterized in that said chamber includes two parts configured for mounting on the distribution board (P) such that the movable contact acts on said distributing bar, said chamber including means of fastening on the distributing bar or on the support plate, the switching element being a non-removable switching element fastened by said chamber on the distribution board (P), wherein the coil exerts a pulling force, upon closure, on the movable contact which acts on a face of the distributing bar facing the support plate.

2. The switching element as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the two parts comprise a first part and a second part, and the first part and the second part are open and are assembled, one on the other.

3. The switching element as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the two parts comprise a first part and a second part, and the first part is configured to be fastened on the distributing bar, the second part being fastened on the first part in a saving made in the support plate, in order to close the chamber.

4. The switching element as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the two parts comprise a first part and a second part, and the first part is mounted on an external face of the distributing bar and the second part is inserted between two parts of said distributing bar under the switching element.

5. The switching element as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the two parts comprise a first part and a second part, and the second part of the chamber projects from the support plate.

6. An electrical energy distribution box comprising a distribution board (P) including at least one distributing bar and a support plate on which the distributing bar is mounted, and at least one switching element as claimed in claim 1 .

7. The electrical energy distribution box as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the chamber includes two parts configured to be mounted on either side of the distribution board (P) such that the movable contact acts on said distributing bar.

8. The electrical energy distribution box as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the distribution board includes a cooling device fastened on the support plate.

9. The electrical energy distribution box as claimed in claim 8 , wherein the cooling device includes a sealed enclosure for circulating a cooling gas or fluid.

10. The electrical energy distribution box as claimed in claim 6 , comprising an electronic card mounted on the distributing bar and comprising conductive tracks for electrically connecting the electronic card to the switching element and to electronic circuits of the distributing bar.

11. The electrical energy distribution box as claimed in claim 10 , wherein the electronic card includes an assembly of at least one component and/or voltage tap and/or temperature sensors.
