LOAD BREAK TOOL HAVING ROTATIONAL FLEXIBILITY
A load break tool is disclosed. The load break tool includes a main housing; a sleeve having a first end and a second end coaxially mounted in the main housing and slidable between a retracted position and an extended position, wherein the second end of the sleeve remains in the main housing in the extended position; a clip assembly connected to the main housing for engaging a pull ring of a circuit isolating device; and a hook engaging terminal rotatably connected to the first end of the sleeve, such that the hook engaging terminal rotates relative to the clip assembly.
Insulation device and load break fuse cutout assembly having the same
An insulation device is disclosed. The insulation device is allowed to be assembled with a fuse tube device so as to form a load break fuse cutout fully closed. The insulation device comprises: a full-closed cylindrical insulator oriented vertically, a first cylindrical insulator oriented horizontally, a second cylindrical insulator oriented horizontally, a third cylindrical insulator oriented horizontally, a first electrical connection unit accommodated in the first cylindrical insulator, a second electrical connection unit accommodated in the second cylindrical insulator, a first arc extinguishing unit accommodated in the first cylindrical insulator, a second arc extinguishing unit accommodated in the second cylindrical insulator, and a mounting bracket connected to the full-closed cylindrical insulator. The full-closed cylindrical insulator, the first cylindrical insulator, the second cylindrical insulator, and the third cylindrical insulator are made integratedly so as to form a main insulation body of the insulation device.
FUSE END CAP HAVING DISPLACEABLE ALIGNMENT PIN
A fuse assembly having a displaceable pin assembly secured within a cap bore of an end cap of the fuse assembly. The displaceable pin assembly can include a plunger that is selectively displaceable along an axis that is non-parallel to a central longitudinal axis of the first end cap. The plunger can be selectively displaceable between an extended position at which at least a first end of the plunger is outwardly positioned away from an outer surface of the first end cap, and a recessed position at which the first end of the plunger is recessed within, or generally aligned with the outer surface of, the first end cap. The displaceable pin assembly can also include a biasing element that can bias the plunger to the extended position, and a support body that can house at least a portion of the plunger and be securely coupled to the cap bore.
Fuse tube device and load break fuse cutout assembly having ihe same
A fuse tube device is disclosed. The fuse tube device is allowed to be assembled with an insulation device so as to form a load break fuse cutout fully closed. The fuse tube comprises: an insulation housing, an accommodation tube, a first electrical connection unit, a second electrical connection unit, a conductive rod, a fuse element, a first conductive plate, a first cover, a second conductive plate, and a second cover. When assembling the fuse tube device with the insulation device, a first embedding member and a second embedding member of the insulation housing are embedded into a first terminal connecting opening and a second terminal connecting opening of the insulation device, such that the first electrical connection unit and the second electrical connection unit contact a first terminal connecting member and a second terminal connecting member of the insulation device, respectively.
Anti-rotational fuse end cap
A fuse assembly having an end cap that includes a recessed retention body. The recessed retention body can include first and second retention walls and an engagement surface. The first and second retention walls can extend at least in a generally outwardly direction from the retention surface to an outer surface of the end cap, and extend between first and second ends of the first end cap in a direction that is generally parallel to a central longitudinal axis of the fuse assembly. The engagement surface can have one or more walls that downwardly and outwardly extend in divergent directions from an apex of the engagement surface and toward a corresponding one of the first or second retention walls. The apex can be positioned at a central location between the first and second retention walls, and extends in a direction that is generally parallel to the central longitudinal axis.
FUSE LINK EXHAUST SYSTEMS AND METHODS
A power fuse assembly includes a fuse mounting, a fuse unit, and a hinge assembly. The fuse unit is configured to carry current from a line connection to a load connection. The hinge assembly is configured to be removeably coupled to the fuse unit and to allow rotation of the fuse unit relative to the fuse mounting. The hinge assembly including: an inlet configured to accept incoming gases produced by the fuse unit in response to an overload event, the inlet having a first orientation; an outlet in fluid communication with the inlet, the outlet having a second orientation that is not equal to the first orientation; and a diverter component disposed between the inlet and the outlet, the diverter configured to guide the flow of the gases between the inlet and the outlet.
ANTI-ROTATIONAL FUSE END CAP
A fuse assembly having an end cap that includes a recessed retention body. The recessed retention body can include first and second retention walls and an engagement surface. The first and second retention walls can extend at least in a generally outwardly direction from the retention surface to an outer surface of the end cap, and extend between first and second ends of the first end cap in a direction that is generally parallel to a central longitudinal axis of the fuse assembly. The engagement surface can have one or more walls that downwardly and outwardly extend in divergent directions from an apex of the engagement surface and toward a corresponding one of the first or second retention walls. The apex can be positioned at a central location between the first and second retention walls, and extends in a direction that is generally parallel to the central longitudinal axis.
MECHANICAL FUSE STRIKER
A strike pin assembly for a fuse assembly in which the strike pin assembly is maintained in a locked position by a holding force of a filament and an interference provided by a plurality of retention bodies. Upon a breakage of the filament, such as, for example, in response to heat generated by operation of a fuse element, a trigger can be displaced via a first biasing force in a distal direction such that the trigger is positioned at a location that does not impede an inward displacement of a plurality of retention bodies from a recess of a firing pin. Upon the inward displacement of the retention bodies, a second biasing force can displace the firing pin in the distal direction such that a portion of the firing pin can protrude out from an adapter of the strike pin assembly.
Fuse link exhaust systems and methods
A power fuse assembly includes a fuse mounting, a fuse unit, and a hinge assembly. The fuse unit is configured to carry current from a line connection to a load connection. The hinge assembly is configured to be removeably coupled to the fuse unit and to allow rotation of the fuse unit relative to the fuse mounting. The hinge assembly including: an inlet configured to accept incoming gases produced by the fuse unit in response to an overload event, the inlet having a first orientation; an outlet in fluid communication with the inlet, the outlet having a second orientation that is not equal to the first orientation; and a diverter component disposed between the inlet and the outlet, the diverter configured to guide the flow of the gases between the inlet and the outlet.
Protection structure of fuse link switch
A protection structure is disclosed and is applied in a fuse link switch. The fuse link switch comprises: an insulator, a fuse tube including an upper connection portion and a lower connection portion, an upper-end fixing unit, a lower-end fixing unit, and a toggle mechanism, wherein the upper connection portion is connected with a pull hook.
