Current transformer support device and switchgear using current transformer support device
A current transformer support device includes three plate-like conductors, each of which has a first connection portion at one end and a second connection portion at the other end, and which are aligned linearly side by side while being spaced apart from one another, and a current transformer case which integrally insulates and supports the three conductors between the one end and the other end. The current transformer support device is characterized in that the current transformer case has current transformer attachment portions provided at positions corresponding to at least two of the three conductors, to which ring-like current transformer coils formed so as to insert the conductors are attached, and that the current transformer case and the current transformer coils attached to the current transformer attachment portions are formed into one unit with a hardening insulating material.

CIRCUIT BREAKER
A circuit breaker is provided, which includes a cradle having a plurality of cradle terminals, and a breaker main body connected to the cradle and having a plurality of breaker terminals electrically connected to the plurality of cradle terminals, in which each of the plurality of breaker terminals includes a terminal body extended from the breaker main body and protruded toward each of the plurality of cradle terminals, contacts coupled to upper and lower portions of terminal body and disposed in parallel to face each other, and a contact protrusion protruded to a round shape in a direction which the contacts face each other such that, upon connection of the plurality of cradle terminals, the contact protrusion contacts and presses both sides of the connected cradle terminals.
Actuator for a Switch Gear of an Electric Panel
The present disclosure relates to the field of switch gears, and envisages an actuator (100) for a switch gear of an electric panel (1000) having a door (900). The actuator (100) comprises an aligner assembly (110) and an actuator plate assembly (140). The aligner assembly (110) comprises an aligner (112) pivotably mounted on the switch gear housing (200), and engaging with a toggle (204) of a circuit breaker, of the switch gear, to angularly displace the toggle (204). The aligner (112) has a pair of slanting flanges (114) configured to define a valley (116) separated by a gap (117). The actuator plate assembly (140) comprises a mounting plate (142) mounted on the enclosure door (900). A shaft element (144), having a handle element (146) and an engaging element (150), passes through the mounting plate. The engaging element (150) is configured to nest in the gap of the aligner (112) to angularly displace the aligner (112).

PLUGGABLE ELECTRICAL DEVICE FOR SWITCHING AN ELECTRICAL CURRENT HAVING AN IMPROVED BACKPLATE
A pluggable electrical device for switching an electrical current includes a static frame including a rigid backplate fastened to the frame; connection terminals able to be connected to an electrical installation; and a removable portion including a device for switching an electrical current. The backplate is made of a thermosetting polymer and includes reinforcing beams integrated into the backplate and extending in a vertical direction.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR HAVING A PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD FOR USE WITH AN ACTIVE GRID BUS BAR SYSTEM
A connector for use in coupling a load device to electrical conductors of a direct current bus bar. The connector has a housing and the housing carrying a printed circuit board that is electrically coupled to the bus bar and the load device. The printed circuit board functions to control the providing of direct current power from the bus bar to the load device, provide a dimming signal to the load device, and/or selectively provide direct current from a source of emergency power to the load device.
PASSIVE ARC CONTROL WITH SEQUESTERED PHASES IN A VERTICAL BUS SYSTEM OF A MOTOR CONTROL CENTER
A passive arc control system for a motor control center 60 includes an arc attenuating box having sides separating adjacent vertical bus bar phases 54, providing a physical barrier to arc flash energy. The box is open at its top and bottom forming a chimney 55. A shutter assembly for each box includes an insulator cap 62 on a free end of the bus bar and an independently moveable, box-shaped shutter 64 that slides along the bus bar away from the insulator cap, when a device is connected to the bus bar. The shutter has an opening 65 through which the bus bar passes when the device is connected to the bus bar and an opening 55′ aligned with the box's chimney. The arc control system provides a high degree of arc protection for personnel working around open motor control centers and is highly modular and easy to construct.
