The right case member of the circuit breaker case (not shown) is also provided with a similar fixing protrusion, and the zero-phase current transformer 41 is fixed in a state where the fixing protrusion is inserted into the insertion portion 31 from the left and right. The

In the circuit breaker 1 having the above-described configuration, the operation handle 5 is normally tilted to an angle substantially parallel to the upper surface of the breaker case 4, and the separator 21 is moved downward against the biasing force of the breaker spring 38. The fixed contact 11a and the movable contact are brought into contact with each other by pushing down, and the main electric circuit can be energized (ON).
When the occurrence of leakage is detected by the leakage detection circuit via the secondary winding of the zero-phase current transformer 41, the trip coil 8 is operated to momentarily slide the tripping member 39 up and down. The separator 21 is forcibly slid in the dissociation direction by the urging force of the cutoff spring 38 to cut off the main electric circuit. It should be noted that the tripping member 39 is interrupted (ie, momentarily slid in the vertical direction) even when the bimetal piece 42 or the movable electromagnetic piece 43 is operated due to the occurrence of an overcurrent or a short circuit. Yes.

  As described above, according to the circuit breaker 1 in the present embodiment, the power supply side terminal 2 and the load side terminal 3 are arranged side by side in the vertical direction, and the separator 21 for opening and closing the main electric circuit is slid in the direction in which the load side terminal 3 is arranged.

Therefore, the circuit breaker 1 can be reduced in size and thickness as compared with a conventional circuit breaker in which load side terminals are arranged in parallel in the horizontal direction.

In addition, the first to third primary conductors 45, 46, 47 are formed of bent metal plate-like members, and the end portions of the primary conductors are arranged along the side surface of the zero-phase current transformer 41. Therefore, the left and right width of the zero-phase current transformer 41 can be made thinner than before. Accordingly, the circuit breaker 1 can be further reduced in thickness.
Further, the first flange 32a, the second flange 33a, and the third flange 33b that are parallel to the side surface of the zero-phase current transformer 41 are projected from the peripheral surface of the zero-phase current transformer 41 in the radial direction. Without making the left-right width of the zero-phase current transformer 41 wide, contact between the same poles of the primary conductors by the hooks (for example, the power-side end 45a and the load-side end 45c of the first primary conductor 45) And the insulation distance between the different polarities of the primary conductor (for example, the power source side end portion 46a of the second primary conductor 46 and the third primary conductor 47).

It is easy to position and the operation is easy, and in particular, the third flange 33b and the like can prevent inadvertent rotation after the second primary conductor 46 and the third primary conductor 47 are disposed. Efficiency is good.
Furthermore, since the contact positions 41a and 41b of the second primary conductor 46 and the third primary conductor 47 at the periphery of the zero-phase current transformer 41 are formed in a straight line, the second primary conductor 46 in the arrangement state is formed. Can be brought into close contact with the case of the zero-phase current transformer 41 to stabilize the second primary conductor 46 and the third primary conductor 47. Can be made.

  In addition, a fixed projection 35 having three projecting pieces 35b, 35b,... Projecting in the radial direction is integrally provided on the inner surface of the circuit breaker case 4 so that the inside of the insertion portion 31 of the zero-phase current transformer 41 is provided. The zero-phase current transformer 41 is attached to the circuit breaker case 4 by inserting the fixed projection 35 into the circuit breaker case 4. Therefore, the zero-phase current transformer 41 can be fixed in a state where the primary conductors 45, 46, 47 are securely positioned by the projecting pieces 35b, and leakage or short circuit occurs in the zero-phase current transformer 41 portion. It is possible to make the circuit breaker 1 difficult and highly reliable.

  For example, since the circuit breaker described in the above embodiment has been described by taking as an example one used for a single-phase three-wire circuit, three primary conductors are disposed in the zero-phase current transformer. Therefore, the number of primary conductors disposed in the zero-phase current transformer can be appropriately changed according to the type of the electric circuit.

  Also, the design of the fixed projection for fixing the zero-phase current transformer can be changed as appropriate, and the number of projecting pieces can be changed according to the number of primary conductors arranged in the zero-phase current transformer. In the fixed state of the zero-phase current transformer, if the shape has a protrusion that positions the primary conductor at the arrangement position, the protrusion from the columnar body is removed as described in the above embodiment. For example, it may be formed into a shape in which a concave portion is formed on each side of a triangular columnar body or a quadrangular columnar body (both top portions function as protrusions).

Further, the case of the zero-phase current transformer is not an annular body having a substantially side surface as described in the above embodiment, but, for example, is an annular body having a substantially regular octagonal side surface, and a bent portion of the primary conductor abuts one side thereof. You may make it function as a linear contact position.
In addition, in the above-described embodiment, the power supply side terminals and the load side terminals are arranged on a straight line in plan view, but may be arranged slightly shifted left and right as long as they are on a substantially straight line in plan view.
