RISK REDUCTION OF ELECTRICAL HAZARDS
An apparatus includes an enclosure, a power switch, an absence of voltage detector controller, and an absence of voltage detector. The power switch is mounted inside the enclosure and configured to switch electrical power from a line-side power line to a load-side power line. The load-side power line is configured to transfer the electrical power outside of the enclosure to an industrial control panel. The absence of voltage detector controller is configured to determine a presence and an absence of each of a plurality of phases of the electric power on the load-side power line inside the enclosure. The absence of voltage detector is visible from external to the enclosure, has a switch, and is configured to illuminate one or more lamps indicating the absence of the electrical power on a corresponding one or more of the plurality of phases in response to a pressing of the switch.
Autoclavable handle
An autoclavable handle (5) includes a handle housing (9) and with at least one switch element (11) mounted to the handle housing (9). The autoclavable handle (5) is permanently resistant to the effects of machine cleaning and of steam sterilization. The at least one switch element (11) is resiliently pressable into the handle housing (9). The switch element (11) is mounted in the handle housing (9) via at least one web (16) arranged on an underside of the switch element (11). The switch element (11) is sealed off from the handle housing (9) via a circumferential sealing element (12).
MULTIPOLAR ELECTRICAL PROTECTION SYSTEM AND ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION COMPRISING SUCH A SYSTEM
A multipolar electrical protection system including a plurality of devices for switching an electric current. Each switching device has a plurality of compartments each comprising an extinguishing chamber and a pair of separable electrical contacts that are connected to upstream and downstream connection terminals, the separable electrical contacts being movable between open and closed positions under the action of a tripping device. The switching devices are separate from one another, while the upstream terminals of each device are connected by a first connector in order to keep them at one and the same electrical potential and the downstream terminals of each device are connected by a second connector in order to keep them at one and the same electrical potential. The switching devices are controlled by one and the same common tripping device.
ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT AND ADDITIONAL FUNCTIONAL MODULE ASSOCIATED THEREWITH
An electrical equipment for an electrical installation connected to an electrical grid, has at least: a primary functional module (2) suitable for carrying out a current interruption function, and an additional functional module (5) for carrying out a function requiring a power supply The function of the additional functional module (5) is a function requiring a power supply except for an indicator light lighting function.
Universal circuit breaker interlock selection
An adjustable distance lever circuit breaker interlock to prevent during selection that two different electric power sources feeds a circuit breaker busbar panel simultaneously. Adapted to be positioned between two vertically adjacent set of main circuit breaker feeders. One of the circuit breakers connected to the utilitarian power source and the other one connected to an auxiliary power source. Having a body and engagement similar to a circuit breaker interchangeable with different brands includes; General Electric, Siemens, Square D Home line, and others. Also works in the types twins and bricks main for panels. An alternative embodiment can be utilized in others types of branches including Square D type QO, and another alternative embodiment can be utilized for the types Din rails.

Three-source automatic redundant bypass-isolation switches and related power systems and methods
Power systems include a housing and an automatic transfer switch (ATS switch) held in the housing, a Bypass switch held in the housing and a control circuit in communication with the ATS switch and the Bypass switch to automatically direct the Bypass switch and the ATS switch to carry out the selective connections to thereby allow automated, redundant power transitions to the system load from three different power sources.
Toggle lever connection for electric switches
A toggle lever connection for connecting at least two toggle levers is disclosed. The toggle levers each include two grooves arranged opposite each other. The toggle lever connection includes a frame and a slider with one hook per toggle lever. The frame and the slider run into each other and can be displaced in relation to each other between a first, open position, in which the toggle lever connection can be placed onto the at least two toggle levers or removed therefrom, and a second, closed position, in which the hooks grip into the grooves of the at least two toggle levers, thereby locking the toggle lever connection to the toggle levers.

Pressure sensitive keys
Pressure sensitive key techniques are described. In one or more implementations, a device includes at least one pressure sensitive key having a flexible contact layer spaced apart from a sensor substrate by a spacer layer, the flexible contact layer configured to flex responsive to pressure to contact the sensor substrate to initiate an input, for a computing device, associated with the pressure sensitive key. At least one of the flexible contact layer or the sensor substrate are configured to at least partially normalize an output resulting from pressure applied at a first location of the flexible contact layer with an output resulting from pressure applied at a second location of the flexible contact layer that has lesser flexibility than the first location.
