A direct current contactor includes a case and two groups of contact components disposed in the case. Each group of contact components includes two moving contacts connected to each other and two fixed contacts. The direct current contactor further includes a drive system configured to drive the moving contacts to move in a direction close to or away from the fixed contacts, so that the moving contacts are connected to or disconnected from the fixed contacts. The case has an arc-extinguishing cavity. A first baffle in the arc-extinguishing cavity divides the arc-extinguishing cavity into a first arc-extinguishing chamber and a second arc-extinguishing chamber. The contact components are respectively located in the first arc-extinguishing chamber and the second arc-extinguishing chamber. In other words, the two groups of contact components are integrated into two arc-extinguishing chambers of one arc-extinguishing cavity and perform connection/disconnection drive by using a single drive system.

A breaker is provided including: a first stationary contact having a first stationary contact portion; a movable contact having a first movable contact portion; an actuating member to actuate the movable contact; a first arc extinguishing device; a first arc running piece extending from a first arc running end portion arranged adjacent to the first stationary contact portion to a second arc running end portion through the first arc extinguishing device; and an arc guiding piece having a first arc guiding section extending in the first direction, the first arc guiding section being arranged between the movable contact and the first arc extinguishing device in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction. The second arc running end portion and the first arc guiding section are arranged at opposite sides of the first arc extinguishing device in the second direction. A contactor including the breaker is further provided.

An arc box and an electromagnetic contactor comprising same are disclosed. The arc box according to an embodiment of the present disclosure comprises a coupling protrusion. The coupling protrusion is inserted into and coupled to a grid coupling hole of an arc chamber. Therefore, the arc chamber can be stably coupled to the arc box. In one embodiment, the coupling can be performed through snap fastening. Therefore, the arc chamber and the arc box can be easily coupled. A rib part is formed on the arc box. The rib part is positioned to be adjacent to the coupled arc chamber so as to prevent pitching of the arc chamber. Therefore, the arc chamber coupled to the arc box can stably maintain a stopping state.

Provided is a relay having a structure for preventing deformation of a movable spring when it is caulked. A yoke of the relay has a protrusion for caulking inserted in the movable spring, and a bulge portion adjacent to the protrusion and having a height lower than a height of the protrusion. By providing the bulge portion to the yoke, the dimensional change in the caulking direction of the movable spring when the movable contact is caulked can be reduced.

A contactor includes: a frame; a stationary contact; a movable contact movable between a closed position and an open position, wherein, in the closed position, the movable contact and the stationary contact are connected such that the contactor is closed, and in the open position, the movable contact and the stationary contact are disconnected such that the contactor is open; and a reset mechanism including a counter force spring, the counter force spring being a torsion spring used to bias the movable contact toward the open position, wherein the torsion spring is an integral component including a body portion having a longitudinal axis, a middle leg extending from the body portion and two torsion arms positioned at two ends of the body portion, and the torsion arms are arranged at two opposite sides of the movable contact. Also provided is an electrical control cabinet including the contactor.

Also provided is an electrical control cabinet including the contactor.

A closing spring assembly for an electrical switching device is provided. The closing spring assembly is configured to exert a closing force on a moving contact of the switching device. The closing force helps to maintain physical and electrical contact between the moving contact and an associated stationary contact, so that the moving and stationary contacts form a path for conducing electric current through the switching device. The closing spring assembly is configured so that the closing force remains constant or decreases as the moving contact is driven away from the stationary contact during switching of the current path away from the moving and stationary contacts.

Disclosed are an arc path formation unit and a direct current relay including same. An arc path formation unit according to an embodiment of the present disclosure comprises a plurality of magnet parts. One of the plurality of magnet parts is disposed on one surface of a magnet frame. The remaining magnet parts among the plurality of magnet parts are disposed on the other respective surfaces of the magnet frame. The magnet part disposed on the one surface is formed longer than the other magnet parts. Also, the magnet parts disposed on the other surface are spaced apart from each other as far as possible. Accordingly, the magnetic field formed between the magnet parts is formed such that the electromagnetic force generated in each of stationary contacts is generated in a direction away from the central region. As a result, damage to components disposed in the central region can be prevented.
