Abstract
The disclosure relates to an electrical circuit breaker for protecting a power distribution system in an industrial plant (30) with electrical consumers (5) distributed in the plant. Electrical power is supplied to the electrical consumers (5) via a power-supplying line branch (7) of the power distribution system. For protecting the consumers, an electrical circuit breaker (20) is arranged in the power-supplying line branch (7). The electrical circuit breaker (20) is accommodated in a closed housing (10). The housing (10) has at least one first contact (11) for the power-supplying line branch (7) and at least one second contact (12) for an electrically protected line branch (8) which is connected to the electrical consumer (5).
Claims20
An electrical circuit breaker module (20) for protecting a power distribution system in an industrial plant (30) with electrical consumers (5) being distributed in the industrial plant (30) and electrical power being supplied to the electrical consumers (5) via power-supplying line branches (7) of the power distribution system (1), the electrical circuit breaker module (20) comprising:
- an electrical circuit breaker (20) arranged in a power-supplying line branch (7);
- a closed housing (10) within which the electrical circuit breaker (20) is accommodated, the closed housing (10) comprising
