High voltage compact fused disconnect switch device with bi-directional magnetic arc deflection assembly
A fused disconnect switch device includes a housing defining an interior volume, and a current path. An arc interruption assembly is located in the interior volume and includes a shell, and a conductor in electrical communication with the current path. At least one arc plate is located between the magnets and the conductor. The magnets cooperate to generate a magnetic field facilitating an interruption of a first arc between the conductor and the first side of the arc chamber and a second arc between the conductor and the second side of the arc chamber.
POWER SUPPLY CIRCUIT BREAKING DEVICE
A power supply circuit breaking device includes a first connector housing, a second connector housing, a main lock unit locking in a finally fitted state in which the second connector housing is completely fitted to the first connector housing, a sub-lock unit locking in a temporarily fitted state in which a part of the second connector housing is fitted to the first connector housing, a main switch unit switched on in the finally fitted state and the temporarily fitted state, and a sub-switch unit switched on in the finally fitted state and switched off in the temporarily fitted state. The sub-lock unit includes a sub-lock claw formed in the first connecter housing, and an operation portion provided in the second connector housing and having an engaging plate portion engaged with the sub-lock claw in the temporarily fitted state.
High voltage compact fusible disconnect switch device with magnetic arc deflection assembly
A compact fusible disconnect switch device includes a magnetic arc deflection assembly including pairs of magnets disposed about a mechanical switch contact assembly. The magnetic arc deflection assembly facilitates reliable connection and disconnection of DC circuitry operating at a voltage well above 125 VDC with reduced arcing intensity and duration. The pairs of magnets may apply magnetic fields in directions opposing one another to deflect electrical arcs in different directions at different locations in the mechanical switch contact assembly to facilitate high voltage DC switching operation.
Safety switch having interlocking handle and door
A safety switch includes a housing including first and second compartments that are separated by a barrier, a switch mechanism in the first compartment, one or more fuse holders in the second compartment, a first door connected to the housing and covering the first compartment, a second door connected to the housing, a handle connected to the switch mechanism, and a locking mechanism operatively connected to the handle. The handle is movable between an off position and an on position. The locking mechanism configured such that: the second door is locked in a closed position when the handle is in the on position; the second door is movable from the closed position to an open position to expose the second compartment when the handle is in the off position; and the handle is locked in the off position when the second door is in the open position.
HIGH VOLTAGE COMPACT FUSED DISCONNECT SWITCH DEVICE WITH BI-DIRECTIONAL MAGNETIC ARC DEFLECTION ASSEMBLY
A fused disconnect switch device includes a housing defining an interior volume, and a current path.

Fuse panel module with a movable fuse holder
A panel fuse module for use with one or more fuses. The panel fuse module includes a housing with a first fuse contact and a second fuse contact. The first fuse contact is resiliently deformable and is mounted on a post of the housing. A movable fuse holder is provided which is moveable relative to the housing and relative to the first fuse contact. A cam member is provided on the movable fuse holder. As the movable fuse holder is moved from the first position toward the second position, the cam member cooperates with the first fuse contact to move the first fuse contact from a less-stressed first position to a more-stressed second position to allow the respective fuse of the one or more fuses to be inserted into the housing without engaging the first fuse contact.
High voltage compact fusible disconnect switch device with magnetic arc deflection assembly
A compact fusible disconnect switch device includes a magnetic arc deflection assembly including at least a pair of magnets disposed about a switch contact assembly. The magnetic arc deflection assembly facilitates reliable connection and disconnection of DC voltage circuitry well above 125 VDC with reduced arcing intensity and duration. Multiple pairs of magnets may apply magnetic fields in directions opposing one another to deflect electrical arcs in different directions at more than one location in the switch contact assembly to facilitate high voltage DC operation.
FUSIBLE SWITCHING DISCONNECT MODULES AND DEVICES WITH TRIPPING COIL
A fusible switch disconnect device includes a housing adapted to receive at least one fuse therein, and a switchable contact for connecting the fuse to circuitry. A tripping mechanism and control circuitry are provided to move the switchable contact to an open position in response to a predetermined electrical condition.
LOW PROFILE FUSIBLE DISCONNECT SWITCH DEVICE
A compact fusible disconnect switch device having a reduced switch housing size and increased power density is configured to be face mounted to a panel. A fuse cover assembly allows installation and removal of a fuse without having to open the panel. Line-side and load-side terminals are provided on a common side of the housing. In-line mechanical ganging and simultaneous application is provided for combinations of the compact fusible disconnect switch devices.
