The cavity 12 is used to install each phase conductive system separately, and the phase spacers 11 can form effective isolation between adjacent phase conductive systems. The transformer module 3 is installed in the transformer mounting cavity 13. The circuit module 4 is fixed to the upper end of the transformer module 3, and the main busbar 7 passes through the transformer module 3 to collect and convert the main current. The bottom surface of the base 1 is provided with a circuit module mounting cavity 14, which is closed by a base plate 8. The circuit module 5 is fixed in the circuit module mounting cavity 14. During assembly, the circuit module 4 is first installed from the bottom of the base 1, and then the base plate 8 is fixed to the bottom of the base 1. By reasonably designing the bottom structure of the base 1, an independent installation space is provided for the circuit module 5. The circuit module 4 is installed in the base 1. A channel 15, arranged vertically, connects circuit module 4 and circuit module 5. The channel 15 has insulated and enclosed side walls. A conductor structure connecting circuit module 4 and circuit module 5 is located within the channel 15. This conductor structure, passing through the channel 15, provides excellent insulation and protection. The middle cover 2 covers the upper part of the base 1 and has a functional module mounting cavity 21 opposite to the current transformer mounting cavity 13. The functional module 6 is installed in the functional module mounting cavity 21 and connected to circuit module 4. This invention's intelligent molded case circuit breaker utilizes a modular design through structural optimization, incorporating circuit module 4, circuit module 5, current transformer module 3, and functional module 6. The modular design and rational arrangement of their positions and connections ensure an orderly arrangement of internal modules, facilitating maintenance and overall assembly, thus effectively improving the performance of the intelligent circuit breaker. (See also...)
