Description

  The present invention relates to a trunk branch board having a circuit breaker.

  In general, the main branch board includes a plurality of bus bars extending in the vertical direction, a plurality of wiring circuit breakers arranged in parallel in the vertical direction with the primary side terminal facing the bus side, and A branch conductor that electrically connects the primary side terminal to the busbar and a branch line that electrically connects to the secondary side terminal of the circuit breaker are provided (see, for example, Patent Documents 1 and 2).

  By the way, when the terminal crimped to the branch line is electrically connected to the secondary terminal of the circuit breaker, the vertical interval of the secondary terminal is set in advance, Only terminals having a size specified by the manufacturer can be connected. If terminals having a size larger than the specified size are connected, a sufficient insulation space distance cannot be secured.

For this reason, in order to use a thick branch line, when connecting a terminal larger than the specified size, it is necessary to provide a separate terminal block for relay connection.
Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 11-18216 JP 2002-34109 A

  However, if the relay connection terminal block is provided separately, the connection for electrically connecting the secondary terminal of the circuit breaker for wiring and the secondary connection terminal block to the relay connection terminal block Further lines and the like are required, the number of parts increases, the number of connecting steps increases, and the cost increases.

  In addition, it is necessary to secure an installation space for the relay connection terminal block, and there is a problem that heat generation increases as the number of electrical connection points increases.

  The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problem. Even if the terminal is larger than the specified size, the secondary terminal is provided with a sufficient insulation space distance without providing a relay connection terminal block. The present invention provides a trunk branch board that can be electrically connected.

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides a plurality of bus bars extending in the vertical direction inside a branch board body, and a primary side terminal is provided on the front side of the front vertical frame of the branch board body. A plurality of wiring circuit breakers arranged in parallel in the vertical direction with the secondary side terminals facing outward are fixed, and the branch conductors that electrically connect the primary side terminals of the wiring circuit breakers to the buses, respectively. In the trunk branch board in which the branch line is electrically connected to the secondary terminal of the wiring breaker via the terminal, the branch line has a terminal having a size larger than the specified size. while but connected, one end to the secondary side terminals of the circuit breaker for the wiring is connected, connecting conductors the terminal is connected is provided at the other end, as viewed from the front side of the branch board main body, vertical side in a plurality of circuit breaker which is arranged in the vertical direction All of the other end portion of the adjacent connecting conductors are alternately in the vertical direction, in which to provide a trunk bridge plate, characterized in that is configured so as to be staggered in the depth direction.
As in claim 2, the connecting conductor is provided with a linear connecting conductor and a connecting conductor bent in a Z-shape, and each secondary terminal of each wiring breaker has a linear shape. The connecting conductors and the Z-shaped connecting conductors can be alternately provided in the vertical direction.
According to a third aspect of the present invention, the connecting conductor is provided with a first connecting conductor bent in a Z shape and a second connecting conductor bent in a larger Z shape. Each secondary terminal may be configured such that the first connecting conductor and the second connecting conductor are alternately provided in the vertical direction.

According to the present invention, all the other end portions of the connecting conductors having one end portion connected to the secondary side terminal in a plurality of circuit breakers arranged side by side in the vertical direction are connected to the other end portions adjacent to each other in the vertical direction. Since it is set to alternate in the direction and staggered in the depth direction, even if a terminal larger than the terminal specified by the wiring breaker manufacturer is connected to the branch line, the depth The terminal of the branch line can be electrically connected to the secondary terminal of the circuit breaker via the connecting conductor while securing a sufficient insulation space distance in the direction.

Also, in order to alternate the other end portions of the connecting conductors in the vertical direction and alternately in the depth direction, a part or all of the connecting conductors may be bent, for example, in a Z shape. There is no need to provide a separate relay connection terminal block, and the secondary connection terminal of the circuit breaker for wiring and the relay connection terminal block can be electrically connected. Connection lines and the like are no longer needed, the number of parts is reduced, and the connection man-hours are only slightly increased so that the cost can be reduced.

  Further, it is not necessary to secure a space for installing the relay connection terminal block as in the prior art, and the number of electrical connection points does not increase so much, so heat generation is reduced.
