20180219307 · 2018-08-02 ·

Provided is an earthing structure of an earthing truck that includes a frame with a terminal connection part and a moving part configured to support the frame and is configured to ground a bus or a cable while the moving part moves. The structure including: an earthing plate provided on a lower surface of the moving part; and an earthing member configured to provide a contact pressure to the earthing plate as it contacts the earthing plate when the moving part moves.

CAM SELECTOR FOR AN EARTHING SWITCH

An operating modes selector is for an earthing switch that includes power contacts and a motor for moving the power contacts. The selector includes a plurality of positions corresponding respectively to various operating modes of the earthing switch, and includes cams whose positions are defined by the selector position. The selector contains a first cam which pulls a first locking organ designed to mechanically block the motor of the earthing switch when the selector is in a position corresponding to a locked closed mode wherein the earthing switch is closed.

09899168 · 2018-02-20 · ·

The present invention relates to an arc eliminator, and more particularly, to an arc eliminator with an earth contact. An arc eliminator comprises: a housing; an extinguisher installed on the housing; and an earth contact that is installed on the housing and protrudes out from the housing in such a way as to be connected to the ground bus bar provided inside a distribution board when the extinguisher is moved to a first position where the extinguisher is connected to a fixed bus bar provided inside the distribution board, and to be disconnected from the ground bus bar when the extinguisher is moved to a second position where the extinguisher is disconnected from the fixed bus bar.

CIRCUIT BREAKER WITH ARC ELIMINATOR AND POWER RECEIVING/DISTRIBUTING EQUIPMENT USING SAME
20170179711 · 2017-06-22 · ·

Power receiving/distributing equipment is composed of a switchgear incorporated for each major electric path section, wherein, when arc fault occurs on an electric path to which a circuit breaker is connected, a high-speed closing device closes to detour arc current so as to flow to a ground conductor, thereby eliminating arc at a fault electric path portion. The high-speed closing device is connected to one pole or both poles of a breaking portion of the circuit breaker, and is incorporated into an insulating support member on a corresponding pole electric path so as to be able to be drawn as a whole.
