DISCONNECT SWITCH WITH A DETENT MECHANISM TO PROTECT AGAINST OVER-ROTATION
20200083005 · 2020-03-12 · ·

An electrical disconnect switch including an over-rotation protective feature to protect the load switch from damage is disclosed. The electrical disconnect switch may include an enclosure, a load switch, and a handle assembly coupled to the load switch. The disconnect switch may include a detent between the handle assembly and the load switch so that during excessive rotation or torqueing the handle assembly is permitted to decouple or break-away from the load switch to prevent excessive stress from being transferred to the load switch and thus prevent any damage to the load switch.

METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR AUTOMATIC ENGAGEMENT OF ARC REDUCTION TECHNOLOGY

An automatic actuator assembly including a passive actuator assembly and a detection assembly is operatively coupled to an arc reduction assembly. The passive actuator assembly is coupled to the arc reduction assembly and structured to move the arc reduction assembly between a disengaged, first configuration and an engaged, second configuration.

Safety switch having interlocking handle and door

A safety switch includes a housing including first and second compartments that are separated by a barrier, a switch mechanism in the first compartment, one or more fuse holders in the second compartment, a first door connected to the housing and covering the first compartment, a second door connected to the housing, a handle connected to the switch mechanism, and a locking mechanism operatively connected to the handle. The handle is movable between an off position and an on position. The locking mechanism configured such that: the second door is locked in a closed position when the handle is in the on position; the second door is movable from the closed position to an open position to expose the second compartment when the handle is in the off position; and the handle is locked in the off position when the second door is in the open position.

Motor control center subunit having moveable line contacts and method of manufacture

A system and method for connecting supply power to motor control components includes use of a motor control center subunit with moveable supply power contacts. After a motor control center subunit is secured into a motor control center compartment, the supply power contacts may be advanced to engage supply power buses. For disconnection, the supply power contacts may be retracted and isolated from the buses before physical removal of the subunit.

Terminal

Embodiments provide a terminal, and the terminal includes a body, a cover body covering the body, a circuit board mounted in the body, a central processing unit welded on the circuit board, a control part mounted on the cover body, and a protection switch welded on the circuit board. A hard disk slot for accommodating a hard disk is disposed in the body. The cover body is detachably mounted on the body, and is configured to seal the hard disk in the hard disk slot. The cover body is opened to drive the control part to open the protection switch. An electrical signal variation is generated due to opening of the protection switch. After detecting the electrical signal variation, the central processing unit instructs the hard disk to perform data protection and powers off the hard disk.
