VACUUM CIRCUIT BREAKER
The present disclosure provides a vacuum circuit breaker which can measure and monitor temperature of a tulip contactor, the vacuum circuit breaker comprising: a conductive pole including a tulip contactor; and a temperature detecting sensor disposed adjacent to the tulip contactor, wherein the temperature detecting sensor comprises: a sensor body; a fixing band coupled to the sensor body and disposed to surround a part of the conductive pole; and a temperature measurement part which comes into contact with a specific point of the tulip contactor to measure the temperature of the specific point, wherein a sensor insertion hole for accommodating a part of the temperature measurement part is recessedly formed at one surface of the tulip contactor facing the sensor body.
System and method for providing indication of a closed switch
A system for collecting information related to an electrical switch. The system including a first switch, a second switch, and an external device. The external device is configured to receive the first and second signals corresponding to the first and second switches. Wherein the external device is located remotely from the first switch and the second switch.
TACTILE SENSATION PRESENTING DEVICE
A tactile sensation presenting device includes: a pressure sensation generating unit configured to present pressure information; and a tactile sensation generating unit arranged on the pressure sensation generating unit. The tactile sensation generating unit includes a vibrating element configured to present vibration information; a warmth/coldness presenting element provided above the vibrating element and configured to present warm/cold information. The vibration information, the warm/cold information, and the pressure information are presented to an operating part in contact with a tactile sensation presentation surface of the tactile sensation generating unit.

Wherein the external device is located remotely from the first switch and the second switch.
Gas circuit breaker
A gas circuit breaker that includes: a first tank filled with an insulating gas; a fixed contact provided inside the first tank; a movable contact provided inside the first tank; a nozzle that ejects the insulating gas toward the fixed contact when the movable contact moves in a first direction; a cylindrical body that guides the gas ejected from the nozzle in a second direction; and a second tank connected to the first tank in the second direction. The movable contact is movable between a position in contact with the fixed contact and a position separated from the fixed contact. The first direction is a direction in which the movable contact moves from the position in contact with the fixed contact to the position separated from the fixed contact. The second direction is a direction opposite to the first direction.
Circuit breaker, fastening assembly therefor, and associated assembly method
A fastening assembly is for a circuit breaker. The circuit breaker has a base and a bimetal. The fastening assembly includes a heater element structured to be coupled to the bimetal and the base, and a plurality of fastening members including a nut and a coupling member coupled to the nut. The nut is structured to be disposed between the heater element and the bimetal. The coupling member extends through the heater element and into the nut in order to minimize movement of the heater element with respect to the base.
System and method for providing indication of a closed switch
A switch including a blade, an electrical terminal, and a sensor. The blade is pivotable between an open position and a closed position. The electrical terminal is configured to receive the blade when in the closed blade position. The sensor is coupled to the electrical terminal. The sensor is configured to sense a position of the blade and output a signal corresponding to the position.
SENSING DEVICES, SENSORS, AND METHODS FOR MONITORING ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
Sensors, systems, and methods for monitoring environmental conditions, such as physical, electromagnetic, thermal, and/or chemical parameters within an environment, over extended periods of time with the use of one or more electromechanical sensing devices and electronic circuitry for processing an output of the sensing devices. The sensing devices each include a cantilevered structure and at least one contact configured for contact-mode operation with the cantilevered structure in response to the cantilevered structure deflecting toward or away from the contact when exposed to the parameter of interest. The cantilevered structure has at least first and second beams of dissimilar materials, at least one of which has at least one property that changes as a result of exposure to the parameter.

The electrical terminal is configured to receive the blade when in the closed blade position. The sensor is coupled to the electrical terminal. The sensor is configured to sense a position of the blade and output a signal corresponding to the position.
Thermal trip compensation structure
The present disclosure relates to a thermal trip compensation structure including a tripping bar having an ejector pin, a bimetal strip, a compensating component, a support for the compensating component, and an adjustment component. One end of the bimetal strip is connected with the support. The support receives and supports the compensating component. The adjustment component is capable of adjusting a position of the compensating component relative to the support. The compensating component has an inclined slant surface which is set in such a way that a gap between the inclined slant surface and the ejector pin of the tripping bar when the bimetal strip is deflected after the occurrence of short circuit is less than the gap between the inclined slant surface and the ejector pin of the tripping bar when the bimetal strip is not deflected before the occurrence of the short circuit.
