Embodiment Construction

[0042] The drawing shows a schematic diagram of a system for the safe operation of an electric machine 5 . The system comprises a power supply network 9 , a motor 5 , a switchgear 1 , a power supply 50 and an emergency stop switchgear 40 .

[0043] The switching device 1 is connected by means of its three input-side connection points 3 to the supply network 9 and by means of its output-side connection points 4 to the electric machine 5 . Motor 5 is an asynchronous motor. The power supply grid 9 is the three-phase AC grid of industrial low-voltage switchgear installations. The switching device 1 is a motor starter 1 by means of which the power supply to a downstream electric motor 5 can be controlled.

[0044] The first phase 10 of the supply network 9 is connected to the connection point 3 on the input side by means of a line and is led within the device via the first current path 15 of the motor starter 1 to the connection point 4 on the output side and then by means of oth...

Abstract

The invention relates to a switching device (1) with a control apparatus (2), a supply connection (7), a power supply (19) and a first flow path of current (15) which comprises a first electromechanical switch (11) and a parallel circuit of a second electromechanical switch (13) with a semiconductor switch (12) connected in series to the first switch (11). In order to provide a switching device (1) which has an increased number of cycles, it is proposed that the switching device (1) comprises an energy store (6) and a measuring device (8) connected to the control apparatus (2), wherein the energy store (6) is connected in series between the supply connection (7) and the power supply (19), wherein the control apparatus (2) can monitor the energy supply of the switching device in the area between the supply connection (7) and the power supply (19) taking place via the supply connection (7) by means of the measuring device (8), the control apparatus (2) being designed such that, if the energy supply monitored by means of the measuring device (8) falls into a critical range, and using the energy from the energy store (6): said control apparatus (2) in a first step connects the semiconductor switch (12) in an electrically conductive manner and then opens the second switch (13); and after the first step, switches the semiconductor switch (12) to an electrically non-conductive state and then opens the first switch (11) in a second step.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a switching device for controlling the energy supply of a downstream electric machine and to a method for the switching device. The switching device according to the invention is in particular a motor starter and is used in particular in industrial automation technology. An electric machine connected downstream of the switching device can be controlled by means of the switching device. For this purpose, the energy supply to the electric machine connected downstream of the switching device is conducted via the switching device so that the electric machine is connected to the power supply network. Low-voltage power grids (e.g. three-phase, 400 Volt, 50 Hz) of power supply networks, especially industrial installations. Background technique [0002] In order to control the energy supply to the downstream connected electric machine, the switching device comprises a control unit and a first current path. Via the first current path...
