Electrical switching apparatus and trip assembly therefor
A trip assembly is for an electrical switching apparatus. The electrical switching apparatus includes a housing, separable contacts enclosed by the housing, and an operating mechanism for opening and closing the separable contacts. The operating mechanism includes a poleshaft and a trip D-shaft. The trip assembly comprises: a yoke assembly comprising a yoke member and a trip pin coupled to the yoke member, the yoke member being structured to be coupled to the poleshaft; and a link assembly comprising a linking member, the linking member being structured to cooperate with each of the trip pin and the trip D-shaft. When the yoke member moves in response to a trip condition, the linking member is structured to transmit movement of the yoke member into movement of the trip D-shaft.
Control device for controlling multiple operating characteristics of an electrical load
A load control device may be configured to control multiple characteristics of one or more electrical loads such as the intensity and color of a lighting load. The load control device may switch from controlling one characteristic of the electrical loads to controlling another characteristic of the electrical loads based on the position of one or more components of the load control device. Such a position may be manipulated by moving the one or more components relative to an idle position of the load control device. The load control device may be a wall-mounted device or a battery-powered remote control device.
