A busway system including a first electrical busway section, a second electrical busway section, the first and the second electrical busway sections being offset from each other, a busway joint for coupling the first and the second electrical busway sections. The busway joint including a plurality of busbars, a plurality of splice plates electrically coupled to the plurality of busbars, the plurality of splice plates and the plurality of busbars configured to electrically couple the first and the second electrical busway sections, and a pivot shaft passing through the plurality of busbars and splice plates.

Three-position disconnector switch

A three-position disconnector switch includes an earthing contact, a power out contact, a power in contact, and a piston. The power out contact comprises first and second parts connected by a leg portion. In a first position, the piston contacts the first part of the power out contact. In a second position, the piston contacts the first part of the power out contact and makes electrical contact with the second part. In a third position, the piston contacts the second part and makes electrical contact with the earthing contact. The piston is configured to move along an axis of the three-position disconnector switch to transition the three-position disconnector switch between the different switch positions.

Electrical Fuse Device, Method of Manufacturing a Fuse Device and a Method of Operating an Electrical Fuse Device
20230290595 · 2023-09-14 ·

A fuse device comprising a housing, at least two connection lugs, a connecting element between the connection lugs, and an actuator. The actuator moves the connecting element from a closed position, in which it connects the connection lugs, to an open position, in which it is disconnected from at least one of the connection tabs. A particularly well-conducting connection between the connection lugs and the connecting element, which can nevertheless be easily disconnected by the actuator, is achieved by the connecting element being interference-fitted between the connection lugs.

Disconnector, particularly for photovoltaic applications
