A particularly reliable quick release latch and a release mechanism, as well as a quick grounding device or short circuiter, is particularly suited for low, medium, and/or high-voltage applications.

An operating mechanism of a circuit breaker, wherein two ends of a first spring are rotationally connected to a rocker arm assembly and a first crank through a first spring shaft and a second spring shaft respectively, and one end of a jump buckle is rotationally connected to a bracket and is a jump buckle pivoting end; a jump buckle hole of the jump buckle is aligned with a bracket hole of the bracket; the first spring shaft is in limiting fit with the jump buckle; and one end of the first crank swings in a direction away from the jump buckle pivoting end, such that a spacing between the first spring shaft and the second spring shaft is smaller than or equal to the length of the first spring, and a first assembly state is formed.

A structure of a ground fault circuit interrupter includes a locking arm, which is provided with a stop surface, disposed inside the ground fault circuit interrupter, and a support body fixedly connected to a soft magnet is provided with a stop portion which can interfere with the stop surface that is moving downward. The locking arm is also connected to an elastic element, and under a normal state, the elastic element moves downward the stop surface of the locking arm to interfere with the stop portion of the support body, so that the soft magnet is prevented from moving toward a permanent magnet The locking arm can also be pushed down and driven by a reset button to move upward the stop surface, so that the stop portion and the stop surface no longer interfere with each other.

An electrical outlet receptacle including a circuit board, a set of fixed contacts and a set of movable contacts, a solenoid, a carriage, a lifting shelf, a slide mechanism, a reset plunger, and an armature.

The present disclosure discloses a leakage protector, and relates to the technical field of electrical apparatus protection. The leakage protector includes a protector device, pins, a bottom plate and a elastic sheet. The protector device includes a communication maintaining device, a communication device and a locking device. The locking device includes an elastic sheet pressing block and a locking deflector rod. The locking device includes a latch, a movable pressing plate and a hasp slide way, the latch, the movable pressing plate and the hasp slide way is provided on the locking deflector rod. The locking device includes a pressing rod, a hasp and a vertical fork groove, the pressing rod, the hasp and the vertical fork groove is provided on the elastic sheet pressing block.

A resettable switching apparatus, useful in a GFCI receptacle, has a housing with a face plate and at least one sense transformer core positioned to define a current flow direction through a center cavity that is parallel to the face plate. The GFCI receptacle further includes a space-efficient coaxial configuration in which a mechanical latching arrangement for resetting (i.e., closing) main switch contacts is disposed inside the trip solenoid. A movable carriage for the main contacts spans one end of the solenoid and has a latching portion in the solenoid that engages the inner end of a reset plunger in two sequential states (i.e., unlatched and latched). The mechanical latching arrangement comprises a cam surface coupled to a lifting plate, which is connected to the carriage of the GFCI receptacle. The cam surface is responsible for translating a downward movement to a translational movement to engage the carriage to the rest plunger.

Circuit breakers with handles having at least one handle bearing pin that contacts an upper end portion of a moving arm and allows the arm to rotate to “OFF”, “ON” and “TRIP” positions, typically about 90 degrees of rotation.

A low voltage switching device including: one or more electric poles having one or more movable contacts and corresponding fixed contacts adapted to be coupled to or uncoupled from each other, a movable contact assembly including the mobile contacts and a main supporting and operating shaft reversibly movable between a first contact position, at which the movable contacts and the fixed contacts are uncoupled, a second contact position, at which the movable contacts and the fixed contacts are coupled, and a third contact position, at which the movable contacts and the fixed contacts are coupled and kept pressed; an operating assembly including a handle mechanism having a handle adapted to be reversibly moved by a user or a motor operated actuator (MOE) between a first, open, position and a second, closed, position; a driving assembly operatively connected to the operating assembly and to the movable contact assembly and including a kinematic chain and at least a driving spring, the driving assembly reversibly moving the movable contact assembly following a movement of the operating assembly from the open position to the closed position, and vice-versa. In the low voltage switching device the driving assembly includes a latching mechanism which is operatively coupled to the operating assembly and to the movable contact assembly, the latching mechanism interacting with the movable contact assembly and latching it in the first contact position during a first phase of the movement of the operating assembly between the first, open, position and the second, closed position, then unlatching the movable contact assembly when the operating assembly is in an intermediate position between the first, open, position and the second, closed position, thereby allowing the quick passage of the movable contact assembly from the first contact position to the third contact position in which the movable contacts and the fixed contacts are coupled and kept pressed.

The present disclosure discloses a miniature circuit breaker operating mechanism and a miniature circuit breaker. The operating mechanism includes an operating handle and a lock catch. The operating handle and the lock catch are separately rotatably connected to a circuit breaker housing. The operating mechanism further includes: a first connecting rod, which is rotatably connected with the circuit breaker housing, and the rotating shaft of the first connecting rod and the rotating shaft of the lock catch shares the axis or on the same axis; a moving contact is arranged on the first connecting rod; a second connecting rod; the second connecting rod is connected with the operating handle, and the second connecting rod, the lock catch and the first connecting rod cooperate with a linkage structure.

A latching device for an operating mechanism for an electrical switching apparatus. The device has a locking member movable between a first position and a second position. In the first position the locking member is arranged to lock a drive member of the operating mechanism in a locked position, and a force of the drive member being applied to a contact portion of the locking member. In the second position the locking member is arranged to release the drive member from the locked position. At least in the first position the locking member is arranged to bear against the counter roller. A tripping member is movable between a first position locking the locking member and a second position releasing the locking member. The locking member has a first portion and a second portion. The first portion is rotatable connected to a first link around a first pivot axis, which first pivot axis is movable perpendicular to its direction. The second portion is rotatable connected to a second link around a second pivot axis and movable perpendicular to its direction. The second link is rotatable connected to the tripping element around a third pivot axis. Movement of the tripping member from its first position to its second position initiates movement of the contact portion out of force-transmitting relation with the drive member.
