Earth leakage breaker and method for controlling earth leakage breaker
11456140 · 2022-09-27 · ·

The present disclosure relates to an earth leakage circuit breaker and a method for controlling the same. The earth leakage breaker includes a zero-phase current detection unit for detecting a zero-phase current generated in a zero current transformer formed in three-phase electrical lines; a voltage detection unit for detecting a voltage from each of the two electrical lines; a trip unit for tripping contact points between the two electrical lines and a single-phase load when a trip signal is inputted; and a control unit which, when the zero-phase current is detected by the zero-phase current detection unit, detects an electrical line in which the voltage has dropped by a predetermined level or more, and generates and outputs the trip signal to the trip unit when the electrical line in which the voltage has dropped by a predetermined level or more exists.

Trippable Control System for a Breaker Pole and Breaker Gear
20170271106 · 2017-09-21 ·

A trippable control system for one or more electrical breaker poles, comprises a first link pivotable about a first pivot point between first and second positions; a second link pivotable about a pivot axis for connecting to one or more breaker poles, whereby movement of the first link causes the second link to pivot about the pivot axis between a position for opening and a position for closing the breaker pole(s); and a trip mechanism suitable for releasing the first pivot point and for exerting a movement force on the first link to move the first link between the second and third positions when the first link pivots about a second pivot point. Movement of the first link between the second and third positions causes the second link to pivot about the pivot axis between the position for closing the breaker pole(s) and the position for opening the breaker gear.
