A two-level latch mechanism for an operation mechanism of a circuit breaker is provided. The operation mechanism includes: a tripping component, a left side plate, a right side plate, a latch, a half shaft, a lever, and a main shaft. The tripping component, the latch and the lever are mounted between the left side plate and the right side plate. The half shaft and the main shaft penetrate through the left side plate and the right side plate, and extend out of the left side plate and the right side plate. The tripping component, the latch, the half shaft, the lever, and the main shaft move in linkage. The tripping component includes a tripping buckle and a latch surface is disposed on a second end of the tripping buckle. The tripping component, the latch component and the half shaft component form a two-level latch.

A direct-current (DC) air circuit breaker for opening and closing a circuit according to various embodiments includes a circuit unit having a main circuit, a detecting unit having a detection circuit for detecting a fault current in the main circuit, and a circuit operating device configured to allow connection or isolation between the main circuit and the detection circuit.

A safety tripping device for a frame-type ACB drawer seat, which includes a special gear, a first lever, a tension spring, a second lever, and a tripping shaft. The special gear includes the first rotation shaft and the first irregular convex flange feature. The irregular convex flange is lapped with a bending edge of one end of the first lever. The other end of the first lever is connected to the tension spring. An arc-shaped notch is provided at one end of the first lever which corresponds to the connecting spring. An arc-shaped protrusion matching the arc-shaped notch is provided at one end of the second lever. The arc-shaped protrusion engages with or separates from the arc-shaped notch to achieve the tripping operation. The frame-type ACB drawer seat according to the present invention is suitable for large-scale production applications.

The present invention is directed to an electrical wiring system having a frame assembly that includes a frame opening at a central portion thereof. The frame opening provides access to the interior of the device wall box. At least one electrical wiring device is configured to snap into the frame opening such that the interior of the device wall box is completely enclosed by the frame assembly and the at least one electrical wiring device such that access to wiring disposed within the device wall box is substantially prevented. The at least one electrical wiring device includes at least one user-interface. An aesthetic overlay may be coupled to the frame assembly. The aesthetic overlay includes an overlay opening configured to accommodate the at least one user-interface such that the at least one user-interface is accessible to a user.

This electrical cabinet comprises circuit breakers (5) that can be snap-fitted onto a door (2) hinged to a body of the cabinet and equipped with electrical connectors (26) connected to portions of electrical circuits (28) inside the door (2). The portions (28) connect to fixed portions of the electric circuit, via other connectors, when the cabinet is closed. This makes it possible to avoid movable cable harnesses inside the cabinet, the sometimes problematic bolting-on of circuit breakers (5) by the end-fittings (6) of same, and the risk of electrical accidents.

A retrofit CAFI/GFI remote control module may provide dual function protection for simple thermal-magnetic circuit breakers in a residential load center with arc fault and ground fault protection. The module provides line sensors and electronic processing to detect ground faults or arc faults, or both, and operates a bistable relay between the branch breaker and the load to open the circuit, which can then be remotely or manually reset.

Motor control centers have units or buckets with one or more sliding shutters that controllably block access to a stab isolation port based on position of the operator disconnect handle using attached cams that slide the shutter right and left. A front panel of the unit or bucket may also be configured to pivot out about a long axis associated with a bottom long side thereof.

A circuit breaker comprises a solid-state bidirectional switch, a switch control circuit, current and voltage sensors, and a processor. The solid-state bidirectional switch is connected between a line input terminal and a load output terminal of the circuit breaker, and configured to be placed in a switched-on state and a switched-off state. The switch control circuit control operation of the bidirectional switch. The current sensor is configured to sense a magnitude of current flowing in an electrical path between the line input and load output terminals and generate a current sense signal. The voltage sensor is configured to sense a magnitude of voltage on the electrical path and generate a voltage sense signal. The processor is configured to process the current and voltage sense signals to determine operational status information of the circuit breaker, a fault event, and power usage information of a load connected to the load output terminal.

A linkage turbine for an automatic opening/closing driving mechanism, wherein the linkage turbine is integrally and concentrically provided with a turbine driven portion, a gear driving portion and a cam linkage portion successively in the direction of the rotation central axis thereof; turbine teeth fitted with a driving turbine are provided on the whole peripheral wall of the turbine driven portion; a reset groove, a recess, a transition portion and a boss are successively provided on the periphery of the cam linkage portion; and a plurality of driving teeth are provided on part of the peripheral wall of the gear driving portion.
