POWER TOOL, A HANDLE FOR A POWER TOOL AND A METHOD OF ASSEMBLY
A power tool including a housing, at least one handle mountable to the housing, a motor mounted in the housing and electrically connected to a power source, and at least one component with at least one electrical connection electrically connected to the power source. The handle includes an internal cavity, and the component is mountable within the cavity. The handle also features a handle slot configured to receive the electrical connection when the component is mounted within the handle. This design allows for easier assembly and attachment of power cables and electronic components within the handle of the power tool.
Systems and methods for coordinating handle operations while operating solid-state circuit breakers
A system includes any number of solid-state circuit breakers that couple between a power supply and an electrical load. The system also includes a housing and the solid-state circuit breakers are disposed within the housing. The housing includes a door sensor that generates a first signal indicative of a position of a door of the housing. The housing also includes an indicator that generates a second signal indicative of a position of a handle of the housing. The system also includes a secondary device communicatively coupled to the solid-state circuit breakers, the door sensor, and the indicator. The secondary device receives the first signal and the second signal and generates an instruction to adjust an operating state of the solid-state circuit breakers based on the first signal and the second signal.
