Disclosed is a magnetic latching relay having an asymmetrical solenoid structure, the magnetic latching relay comprising an electromagnet portion, a contacting portion, and a drive portion; the electromagnet portion comprises a magnetic conductive component, a coil rack, and a coil; the drive portion comprises a movable iron core; further comprising two pieces of permanent magnet, the two magnets being respectively disposed on the two sides of a coil axis and being respectively adjacent to or in contact with the corresponding sides of the magnetic conductive component; and the two pieces of permanent magnets are within the movement range of the movable iron core in the axial direction of the coil, and are biased towards the moving direction of the movable iron core when a contact is in the closed state, such that the retaining force of the moving iron core is substantially the same in both closed and open states of contact. The present invention introduces biased permanent magnets into a relay having a solenoid electromagnet portion structure to make the relay a magnetic latching relay, for ensuring low heat dissipation while solving the problem of unbalanced action reset voltage of a solenoid electromagnet portion, thus improving product performance and operational reliability.

A self-powered wireless fuse switch is disclosed that is a plug-in replacement for a fuse found in the electrical system of vehicles. The self-powered wireless fuse adds remote-controlled switching capabilities for short and long-range control of power to subsystems of a vehicle electrical system. The wireless fuse switch includes a wireless control module having an internal power supply and an internal transceiver that receives commands from a remote control unit. A separate fuse module includes an outer housing and fuse blades that extend from the outer housing and interface with a fuse socket of the vehicle to selectively allow or interrupt power from the vehicle to the subsystem of the vehicle electrical system. The fuse module includes a fusible link, a relay controller and a relay in the outer housing. The fuse module receives power from and communicates with the wireless control module.

According to one aspect, an uninterruptable power supply (UPS) is provided. The UPS includes a first input constructed to receive input power from a first power source, a second input constructed to receive input power from a second power source, an output constructed to provide output alternating current (AC) power derived from at least one of the first power source and the second power source, a bypass switch having an on state and an off state coupled between the first input and the output, an inverter coupled between the second input and the output and constructed to generate the output AC power. The UPS being constructed to quickly transition from a first power delivery mode that provides output power derived from the first power source to a second power delivery mode that provides output power derived from the second power source.

A system includes a circuit breaker and a switching module with a first module terminal for electrically connecting the switching module to an electrical circuit, and a second module terminal connected in electrical series with a first terminal of the circuit breaker. A switching device of the switching module is connected in electrical series between the first and second module terminals and is configured to switch between an ON state for allowing electrical current through the electrical circuit and an OFF state for opening the electrical circuit to stop current flow therethrough. The circuit breaker has a first housing that houses the breaker mechanism therein. The switching module has a second housing that houses the switching device therein. The second housing can be mounted to the first housing. The first and second housings together can be configured to fit in a physical envelope of a molded case circuit breaker (MCCB).
