A switchgear, in particular a circuit protection device, includes: a housing; a fixed contact that is fixed to the housing; a movable contact, the movable contact being arranged on a contact arm that is arranged in the switchgear so as to be movable; a latching device that is connected to the contact arm; a manual actuation device that has an actuation projection, which manual actuation device is connected to the latching device by a bar, the movable contact being brought into contact with the fixed contact when the actuation projection is moved from an off-position of the actuation projection to an on-position of the actuation projection. When the actuation projection is moved from the on-position towards the off-position as far as a specified trip position of the actuation projection, the bar remains still. When the projection is moved past the trip position, the bar is moved past a holding point.

Operation mechanism of circuit breaker

An operation mechanism of a circuit breaker 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, the half shaft 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 lever includes a sheet metal bending piece. The sheet metal bending piece is bent to form a top wall and two side walls. The tripping component, the latch, the half shaft, the lever and the main shaft move in linkage. The tripping and the latch form a two-level latch. The operation mechanism of the circuit breaker is manual operation.

Circuit breaker including rotary handle

An electrically insulative case includes a door arranged to move between an opened position and a closed position and a rack mechanism arranged to move between an ON position and an OFF position. The electrically insulative case further includes an interlock including a plunger arranged to move between a locked position and an unlocked position. The interlock also includes an engagement mechanism that is coupled to the plunger. The engagement mechanism is arranged to move between a first position in which the engagement mechanism is spaced from the rack mechanism and a second position in which the engagement mechanism is engaged with the rack mechanism. The door is inhibited from moving to the opened position when the plunger is in the locked position. The plunger is arranged to move to the locked position when the engagement mechanism is in the second position and the rack mechanism is in the ON position.

Safety tripping device for a frame-type ACB drawer seat

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.

FUSION WELDING ISOLATION MECHANISM FOR OPERATION MECHANISM OF CIRCUIT BREAKER
