ELECTRICAL PROTECTION DEVICE CONFIGURED TO AUTOMATICALLY DETERMINE A CAUSE OF AN ELECTRICAL CIRCUIT OPENING AND ASSOCIATED METHOD
An electrical protection device, including a movable contact, connected to an electrical circuit, a switching handle, and an electronic control unit. The device further includes an electrical link element, connecting the movable contact and the electronic control unit, a switch, a mechanical link element, connected to the switching handle. The electronic control unit is configured to measure the first voltage and the second voltage, compare the first voltage and the second voltage to determine the cause of opening of the electrical circuit among manual opening and fault opening, send a first signal if the cause of opening is manual opening and send a second and/or third signal if the cause of opening is fault opening.
SHIFTING DEVICE
A shifting device has a contact which is fixed to the housing; a movable contact; a shift lock which has a latch and a latch support, the latch support having a latching point for latching the latch to the latch support; a manual shifting lever which is connected to the latch using a first bracket in order to contact the movable contact with the contact that is fixed to the housing; and a sudden disconnect mechanism for manually causing a sudden separation of the contacts, the manual shifting lever additionally having a second bracket such that an actuation of the manual shifting lever releases the latch connection between the latch support and the latch in order to separate the movable contact from the contact which is fixed to the housing.
SWITCHING DEVICE
A switching device has: a contact secured to a housing; a movable contact arranged on a contact arm arranged to be movable inside the switching device and including an extension facing away from the movable contact, the movable contact being designed to enter in contact with the contact that is secured to the housing; a breaker mechanism connected to the movable contact arm; a manually operated lever which is connected to the breaker mechanism; and a snap-action closing mechanism including a rotatably mounted snap action rocker which is controlled by a first cam of the manually operated lever and which includes a contact arm-catching unit that is to come in contact with the extension of the contact arm. The contact arm-catching unit preferably has a surface hardness which is greater than or equal to the surface hardness of the extension of the contact arm.
HIGH CURRENT, COMPACT FUSIBLE DISCONNECT SWITCH WITH DUAL SLIDER BAR ACTUATOR ASSEMBLY
A high current fusible disconnect switch device includes a switch housing configured to receive a pluggable touch-safe fuse module, and a dual slide bar actuator assembly for opening and closing switch contacts. The dual slide bar elements are each coupled to bias elements that store and release energy to affect switch opening and closing operations. The switch opening and closing operation is multi-staged wherein the only the first slider element is movable in the first stage, and both the first and second slider elements are movable in the second stage.
Minitype breaker with high stability
A high-stability miniature circuit breaker has a pivotal shaft having a first section, a second section and a shoulder. The diameter of the second section is larger than the first section. The shoulder diameter is larger than the second section. A pivoting lever on the first section limits the axial position of a protruding mesa relative to the shaft by contact fit between the mesa and a thrust surface on the second section. A pivoting latch is on the second section. A first end face fits to a support surface on the shoulder. A second end face fits to the protruding mesa at the other end. The latch controls a drive rod and the lever. A connecting rod separates from the latch when latch hasps are separated and the latch separates from the drive rod which slides along a groove of the lever.
SOLID-STATE CIRCUIT BREAKER
The present disclosure provides a solid-state circuit breaker including a mounting side plate; an operating handle disposed on the mounting side plate and being rotatable relative to the mounting side plate to switch between a closing state and an opening state; a mechanical switch connected to the operating handle, wherein in a case that the operating handle is rotated by a first angle from the closing state along a rotation direction of the operating handle switched from the closing state to the opening state, the operating handle drives the mechanical switch to open; an actuating assembly disposed on the mounting side plate, wherein an end of the actuating assembly abuts against the operating handle, and the actuating assembly is rotatable relative to the mounting side plate under driving of the operating handle; and a microswitch abutting against the other end of the actuating assembly away from the operating handle, wherein in a case that the operating handle is rotated by a second angle from the closing state along the rotation direction of the operating handle switched from the closing state to the opening state, the operating handle drives the actuating assembly to rotate, and the microswitch is triggered by the actuating assembly, and the first angle is greater than the second angle.
