Device for connecting a circuit breaker
An arrangement for connecting a circuit breaker in a circuit, for example, in a switchgear, having conductors designed in the form of busbars and supported against each other for receiving forces resulting from normal operating behavior and from short circuit situations. The conductors are disposed in at least two-part claddings each completely peripherally enclosing the respective conductor and serving as electrical insulation.
1. An arrangement for connecting a circuit breaker in a switchpanel, having conductors, which are busbars supported against one another, for receiving forces which result from normal operating behavior and from short-circuit situations, comprising:
at least two-piece encapsulations for surrounding each conductor over its entire circumference, the encapsulation electrically insulating the conductor,
wherein a plurality of conductors are arranged separately in respectively individually associated at least two-piece encapsulations, and
wherein a plurality of conductors are arranged in adjacent encapsulations which adjoin one another.
2. The arrangement as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the at least two-piece encapsulation is formed from a material which is based on plastic.
3. The arrangement as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the at least two-piece encapsulation comprises tightly closed joints.
4. The arrangement as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the at least two-piece encapsulation comprises tightly closed joints.
5. The arrangement as claimed in claim 1 , wherein conductors associated with different phases are arranged in adjacent encapsulations which adjoin one another.
6. The arrangement as claimed in claim 5 , wherein a plurality of conductors associated with the same phase are arranged in encapsulations which are situated one above the other.
7. The arrangement as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a plurality of conductors are associated with different phases are arranged in encapsulations which are situated next to one another.
8. The arrangement as claimed in claim 1 , wherein each encapsulation is produced as a shaped injection-molded part.
9. The arrangement as claimed in claim 1 , in combination with a switching device.
10. The arrangement as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the at least two-piece encapsulations are formed of a lower shell and an upper shell that are separate pieces.
11. The arrangement as claimed in claim 10 , wherein the upper shell and the lower shell are in contact with each other at two joints, and a mounting aid is located at each of the two joints.
