Switch module of built-in anti-surge disconnection structure
A switch module of built-in anti-surge disconnection structure mainly comprises an overcurrent protection switch and an anti-surge disconnection structure ingeniously built inside a heat-resisting housing. The switch module has a first connecting point and a second connecting point for operation. When overvoltage occurs, the temperature of at least one metal oxide varistor would instantly rise up to a degree higher than the melting point thereof, melting at least one thermo-sensitive piece, loosening at least one spring element, displacing a pushing element, and thus forcing the connecting points detaching from each other to turn off the switch and stop supplying the electricity power, so as to ensure more of electricity safety. Also, the switch module has the colloid thermo-sensitive piece directly fixing the spring element instead of having a band for fixing in the prior art, achieving an easier manufacturing process and better effectiveness of the switch module.
Heating element control circuit
A power control circuit includes first and second electrical power terminals connected across a source of electrical power. A heating element is connected to the first terminal. A heating element controller is connected in series with the heating element, between the heating element and the second terminal. The controller is configured to control a temperature level of the element, and includes a control input configured to receive a range of temperature settings, and an OFF command for the element. The controller includes an ON/OFF switch to disconnect the element from the second terminal, and a temperature level control switch to intermittently connect/disconnect the element to the second terminal. A jumper wire series-connects the ON/OFF switch to the temperature level control switch. The ON/OFF switch, the jumper wire, the temperature level control switch, and the element are electrically connected in series.
Compact dual element fuse unit, module and fusible disconnect switch
An embodiment of a fuse module has been disclosed. The fuse module includes a housing and a fuse element assembly contained within the housing. The fuse element assembly includes at least one fuse element unit having a plurality of trigger mechanisms and a perforated strip electrically connected to the trigger mechanisms. Increased ampacity ratings in a more compact arrangement provides for fuse modules having increased current protection capability that, in turn, provides for improved disconnect switching capabilities.
