An exemplary embodiment of a load control device with a light indicator is disclosed. The load control device may include an actuator assembly and a light source. The actuator assembly may include a frame, a light pipe, and an actuator having two surfaces. The light pipe may be arranged within the actuator and include first and second legs. The first leg may extend towards the first surface, and the second leg may extend towards the second surface. When the actuator is in a first position, the light source may be optically aligned with one of the first and second legs; and, when the actuator is in a second position, the light source may be optically aligned with the other of the first and second legs. When the light source is illuminated, the light pipe may direct the light towards the respective surface of the actuator.

A fault state indication device for a circuit breaker includes: a contact group; and a transmission assembly and an indication assembly that are mounted inside a housing. The contact group implements a normally open contact group and a normally closed contact group. The transmission assembly acts on a contact support, different open and closed states of the contact group are realized via the contact support. The indication assembly indicates a fault state, the indication assembly is linked with the circuit breaker, and carries out a corresponding state indication in response to a fault.

An indication device of an electric switch comprises an indication component (101), a driving component (103) and a positioning component (102). The indication component (101) has at least three indication positions. Each indication position corresponds to one state of the electric switch, and the indication component (101) shows one indication mark at each indication position. The indication device of electric switch uses a single indication component (101) having at least three indication positions, and the third position is provided via deformation of the indication component (101) itself, thus realizing a simple structure and low manufacturing cost.

The present invention relates to a state-indicating device (100) for circuit breaker with test function disclose. The state-indicating device (100) includes signal transmission to plurality of indicating devices (100) from the circuit breaker by means of linking features between the circuit breaker and indicating device and also linkage between one indicating device and other indicating device. Indicating device includes a mechanical linkage comprising an actuator connected to hook member (7) and tripping bar (8) with stainless-steel rod (9) being configured to: operate mechanical plate (6) and lever (10), test function actuator (4); to push the microswitch button (19) of a microswitch assembly (12) by selectively On/Off (OF), Signal Default (SD) and SD+OF causing the circuit to change status from Normally Open (NO) to Normally Close (NC); and to show the trip status of the circuit breaker which is mounted to, say the right side of the invented state-indicating device (100).

A switching device includes two connection lands, a measurement device for measuring a first quantity of a current flowing between the two lands, a power supply system and a trigger module, the latter including a first driver module for detecting an electrical fault according to first values stored in a first memory and controlling a switching member; a communication module for receiving and storing second values in a second, non-volatile memory; and a second driver module for replacing the first values with the second values in the first memory. The first driver module compares a second quantity of the first supply current with a threshold and controls the supply of power to the second driver module if the second value is higher than or equal to the threshold.
