ELECTRICAL SWITCHING APPARATUS AND ACCESSORY WIRE RETENTION ASSEMBLY THEREFOR
An accessory wire retention assembly is for an electrical switching apparatus, such as a circuit breaker. The circuit breaker comprises a housing, separable contacts and an accessory enclosed by the housing, an operating mechanism for opening and closing the separable contacts, and a number of wires adapted to be electrically connected to the accessory. The wires extend from the interior of the housing through an aperture to the exterior. The accessory wire retention assembly includes an insert which cooperates with the housing and to establish a predetermined position of the wires with respect to the accessory and the aperture, and a fastening mechanism which fastens the wires to the insert to maintain the wires in the predetermined position.
REMOVABLE ELECTRIC CURRENT SWITCHING ELEMENT AND ELECTRICAL SWITCHGEAR FOR SWITCHING AN ELECTRIC CURRENT COMPRISING SUCH A REMOVABLE SWITCHING ELEMENT
A removable electric current switching element includes first and second housing parts fitted to the other and that can be moved between an assembled configuration and a partially disassembled configuration. The first housing part includes side walls provided with through inspection windows, the second housing part includes insulating walls which each delimit a volume in the second housing part around a corresponding mobile conductor. The first and second housing parts are arranged relative to one another in such a way that, in the assembled configuration the insulating walls mask the inspection windows and that, in the intermediate configuration the insulating walls are away from the inspection windows to free access to the inspection windows.
CONNECTOR DEVICE
A first connector including a pair of male terminals of which axial directions of rod-like bodies having a circumferential surface are aligned in the same direction and which is arranged at an interval, a conductive coupling member which couples one ends of the respective male terminals in the axial direction to each other, and a first housing which includes a male terminal housing chamber for each male terminal and a holding mechanism which holds the coupling member the male terminal includes a rod-like body having a male terminal fitting portion to be inserted and fitted into the female terminal on the other end and a spherical turning fulcrum body which is provided at the one end and enables the turn with respect to the coupling member in the male terminal housing chamber about the one end as a fulcrum.
REFRIGERATOR
Disclosed is refrigerator including a holder terminal unit provided in a main body of the refrigerator; and a shelf terminal unit provided in a shelf installed in the main body, wherein the holder terminal unit includes a holder installed at an inner rear wall of the main body and having an opening which is opened toward a front side of the refrigerator; a holder side terminal provided to correspond to a shelf side terminal of the shelf terminal unit and movable in forward and backward directions within the holder; and an elastic member provided between the holder and the holder side terminal and configured to elastically support the holder side terminal, and wherein the holder side terminal is pressurized by the shelf side terminal which is inserted into the holder through the opening and moved backwardly, while maintaining an elastic contact with the shelf side terminal by the elastic member.
HVIL plug assembly
A high voltage interlock (HVIL) plug assembly includes a main body having an outer surface and an inner surface configured to be disposed against a cover of an electrical device, wherein removal of the cover enables access to components in the electrical device electrically connected to the high voltage interlock circuit, a jumper coupled to the main body and configured to extend through a receiving aperture in the cover to couple to the connector and establish circuit continuity when the main body is coupled to the cover, and a flange extending from the main body. When the main body is coupled to the cover, the flange covers and prevents access to a fastener that couples the cover to a housing of the electrical device such that the main body must be uncoupled and removed from the cover in order to remove the fastener and enable removal of the cover.
Power shutoff device
A power shutoff device includes: a fuse to shut off conduction between the input portion connected to a power source side and the output portion connected to a load side; a box having a first face side with the input portion, the output portion, and the fuse to be assembled thereon; and a lock portion to fix one of the input portion and the output portion to the box. The one of the input portion and the output portion is integrally provided to the fuse. The other of the input portion and the output portion includes a first terminal portion integrally provided to the fuse and fixed to the box via a bolt, and a second terminal portion separately provided from the fuse and connected to the first terminal portion via a connecting member being attachable and detachable on a second face side of the box.
