A contactor includes an housing having a cavity, fixed contacts received in the cavity having mating ends in the cavity, a movable contact movable within the cavity between a mated position and an unmated position and engaging the fixed contacts to electrically connect the fixed contacts in the mated position, and a coil assembly in the cavity operated to move the movable contact between the unmated position and the mating position. The contactor includes an arc suppressor in the cavity. The arc suppressor includes a multi-pole magnet having a first magnet having a first pole and a second magnet having a second pole. The first magnet is integrated with the second magnet in a unitary magnet body.

Fuse devices and electrical systems using the fuse devices are disclosed, with the fuse devices having internal components to cause a fuse blown event when the pre-determined current level is reached through the contacts. The internal components can comprise a levitation actuator that causes separation between one or more of the contacts as the current level approaches the predetermined level. This causes contact levitation and arcing, which increases the resistance at the contact being separated. This in turn causes the current through the contacts to seek another path that in the embodiments herein is a path to a pyro feature. The current activates the pyro feature, which causes the contacts to separate and puts the fuse device in “fuse blown” condition where currents can no longer flow through the contacts.

A contact point device includes: a fixed contact; a movable contactor that has a movable contact capable of being in contact with the fixed contact by moving in parallel with a first direction, and extended along a second direction orthogonal to the first direction; a containing chamber that contains the fixed contact and the movable contact; and a shielding wall disposed inside the containing chamber. The containing chamber has a first space and a second space, the shielding wall faces the first space or the second space, the shielding wall includes a partition wall located between the first space and the second space, the first space and the second space are disposed side by side in a third direction orthogonal to the first direction and the second direction, and the partition wall is located in the first direction from the fixed contact and the movable contact.

The shielding wall is located in the first direction from the fixed contact and the movable contact when viewed in a second direction orthogonal to the first direction, the shielding wall extends along the first direction, and the shielding wall is provided with one or a plurality of through holes that penetrate the shielding wall.

An electromagnetic relay includes a fixed contact holder, a moving contact holder, an electromagnetic device, and a magnet. The fixed contact holder extends in a predetermined direction and is provided with a fixed contact. The moving contact holder also extends in the predetermined direction, and is provided with a moving contact. The magnet is arranged perpendicularly to an opening/closing direction of the fixed contact and the moving contact. A stretch space in which an arc generated between the fixed contact and the moving contact is stretched is provided, in the predetermined direction, beyond respective tips of the fixed contact holder and the moving contact holder. The stretch space also faces a surface of the fixed contact holder and a surface of the moving contact holder.

A DC relay resistant to short-circuit current includes two stationary contact leading-out terminals, a push rod component and a straight sheet type movable spring mounted on the push rod component. Upper magnetizers arranged in a width direction of the movable spring are mounted above a preset position of the movable spring. Lower magnetizers arranged mounted below the preset position can move with the movable spring. At least one through hole is provided in the movable spring at the preset position, so that the upper magnetizers and the lower magnetizers can approach one to another or come into contact with each other through the through holes; and at least two independent magnetically conductive loops are formed in the width direction of the movable spring by the upper magnetizers and the lower magnetizers.

The invention relates to a pyrotechnic fuse for interrupting an electrical circuit, comprising a body (9), in which an explosive charge is disposed, wherein: the pyrotechnic fuse comprises a hollow cylinder (11), in which a piston (12) is disposed, beneath which a separation claw (13) is disposed, beneath which the conductor (20), which is to be severed, is disposed; the piston (12) and the separation claw (13) are pressed downwards once the pyrotechnic fuse has been triggered, and the separation claw (13) severs the conductor (20) at two points; a quenching substance storage chamber (14) is disposed outside the cylinder (11), which quenching substance storage chamber, as a result of the piston being pressed downwards once the pyrotechnic fuse has been triggered, is opened towards a separation chamber (15) such that the quenching substance moves into the separation chamber.

A displaceable portion of a moving contactor is connected to, and electrically conductive with, a pair of moving contacts. An armature actuates the moving contactor. The armature has an adhering portion to be adhered onto an electromagnet. A space inside an opening that exposes a part (an exposed part) of the displaceable portion crosses a predetermined plane. The predetermined plane intersects at right angles with an arrangement direction (a first direction) in which the pair of moving contacts is arranged side by side. The predetermined plane passes through a center between both ends in the arrangement direction of the adhering portion.

An integrated inverter assembly with turbulent flow and increased heat transfer includes an integrated coolant coupling port with a ribbed interior surface; a fluid connector having a chamfered lip and a fir tree circumferentially aligned with at least one O-ring on an outer body of the fluid connector; and a baffled hose configured to couple the integrated coolant coupling port with the fluid connector, wherein the baffled hose provides for compliance in a horizontal plane and a vertical plane.

A circuit breaker design allows for the circuit breaker to have an overall height (i.e., measured vertically along the circuit breaker's exposed outwardly-facing surface in the typical orientation of circuit breaker panels) that is slimmer than achievable with known typical configurations, while at the same time still providing robust power (e.g., voltage) handling and arc interruption capabilities. This is achieved, for example, by providing various components formed from polymer materials (which are generally less conductive of heat than metals), reinforced by metal members in certain areas, if needed, as well as a very particular configuration of a permanent magnet that is employed for enhanced arc quenching.
