Method for producing a trip unit

3:

• The method according to claim 2, wherein before mounting an assembly formed by the shaft and the trip member, the first case and the second case are molded separately.

4:

• The method according to claim 2, wherein the second case comprises two side walls and wherein after assembling the first case and the second case the side walls obstruct the through orifices, the shaft then not being accessible from outside the trip unit via said through orifices.

5:

• The method according to claim 2, wherein the trip unit comprises at least one adjusting device, and wherein the method comprises:
• calibrating the trip unit using the adjusting device for setting a distance between the trip member and the contact end, measured parallel to the movement of the contact end when an electric fault is detected.

6:

• The method according to claim 5, wherein the adjusting device comprises an adjusting member for each moving element, the adjusting member cooperating mechanically with the trip member, and wherein during calibrating trip unit each adjusting member is moved toward or away from the corresponding contact end in the assembled configuration of the trip unit.

7:

• The method according to claim 6, wherein calibrating the trip unit is done during assembling the first case and the second case.

8:

• The method according to claim 7, wherein during calibrating the trip unit and after moving each adjusting member toward or away from the corresponding contact end, the position of each adjusting member is fixed by welding.

9:

• The method according to claim 5, wherein the adjusting device comprises a first adjusting member, and wherein during calibrating the trip unit the first adjusting member is used for moving each contact end toward or away from the trip member, parallel to the movement of the contact end when an electric fault is detected in the assembled configuration of the trip unit.

10:

• The method according to claim 9, wherein during calibrating the trip unit the first adjusting member is accessed from outside of the trip unit and moved.

11:

• The method according to claim 9, wherein the adjusting device comprises a second adjusting member for each moving element, and wherein during calibrating the trip unit, each adjusting member is used for moving each contact end toward or away from the trip member, parallel to the movement of the contact end when an electric fault is detected in the assembled configuration of the trip unit.

12:

• The method according to claim 10, wherein the adjusting device comprises a second adjusting member for each moving element, and wherein during calibrating the trip unit, each adjusting member is used for moving each contact end toward or away from the trip member, parallel to the movement of the contact end when an electric fault is detected in the assembled configuration of the trip unit.

13:

• The method according to claim 9, wherein calibrating the trip unit is done after assembling the first case and the second case.

14:

• The method according to claim 2, wherein the first case comprises a first hole, wherein the second case comprises a second hole, and wherein in the assembled configuration of the trip unit, the first and second holes are aligned and receives a fastening member for fastening the first case to the second case.
