PLUG-IN CIRCUIT BREAKER
A plug-in circuit breaker that includes a housing, an operating mechanism and a button mechanism which has a closing position and an opening position. The circuit breaker further includes a locking member and a linkage member arranged inside the housing. The linkage member is provided with an abutting protruding stand. The locking member is provided with a locking protruding stand. When the button mechanism is in the closing position, the abutting protruding stand of the linkage member extends out of the housing and is limited by the button mechanism at an extension position, so that it cannot retract into the housing. When the button mechanism is in the opening position, the linkage member retracts into the housing, the locking protruding stand of the locking member extends out of the housing, and the locking protruding stand of the locking member can be pushed back into the housing.
Pole actuation booster mechanism
A pole actuation booster mechanism for a four-poles low voltage circuit breaker, which includes: a first operating member adapted to be operatively connected to the operating shaft of the circuit breaker and moving together with said shaft during its rotation from an open position to a closed position, and vice-versa, of said circuit breaker over a range of movement having a first, a second and a third portion of movement, the first operating member having a first operating end; an operating assembly including at least an elastic element operatively connected to a lever, the first operating member being disengaged from said operating assembly during the first portion of its movement and engaged with the lever during the second and third portions of its movement. During a closing operation of the circuit breaker the first operating member moves first along the first portion of movement driven by the operating shaft and disengaged from the operating assembly, then moves along the second portion of movement driven by the operating shaft and engaged with the lever and transmitting energy to the operating assembly; and finally moves along the third portion of movement driven by the lever and transmitting energy to the operating shaft.
ELECTRIC OPERATING DEVICE FOR CIRCUIT BREAKER
An electric operating device for a circuit breaker that includes a housing, a transmission mechanism is installed in the housing, and a side wall of the housing serves as an operation surface and is provided with a first sliding groove communicated with the interior of the housing; a sliding rod is installed in the housing; a driving member controlled by the transmission mechanism is installed on the sliding rod; the driving member is provided with a closing operation portion and an opening operation portion; the driving member passes through the first sliding groove and extends out of the housing; the driving member moves along the sliding rod under the control of the transmission mechanism; and the closing operation portion and the opening operation portion operate a handle of the circuit breaker to be closed and opened respectively.
PLUG-IN CIRCUIT BREAKER
A plug-in circuit breaker that includes a circuit breaker housing with a limiting hole and a opening and closing button. The circuit breaker further includes a locking member rotatably arranged inside the circuit breaker housing with an upper portion close to the limiting hole provided with a locking protrusion fitting. A lower portion of the circuit breaker housing is provided with a locking driving surface fitting with the opening and closing button. When the limiting hole is not shielded, the opening and closing button jacks up the locking driving surface to enable the locking protrusion to extend out of the limiting hole. The plug-in circuit breaker is closed when the limiting hole is shielded, so that the locking protrusion cannot extend out of the limiting hole. The locking driving surface limits the opening and closing button, so that the opening and closing button cannot press to the destined position.
PLUG-IN CIRCUIT BREAKER
A plug-in circuit breaker with an operating button that includes a button inner end inserted inside the circuit breaker and a button outer end. An indicator slot is arranged inside the operating button, an indicating hole is arranged on the button outer end. The plug-in circuit breaker further includes an indicating member slidably inserted inside the indicator slot and one end of which is provided with a make-contact indicating surface and a break-contact indicating surface. When the plug-in circuit breaker is in a break-contact state, the break-contact indicating surface is arranged opposite to the indicating hole, thus during pressing the operating button, the indicating member moves inside the indicator slot. After the make-contact state, the make-contact indicating surface is arranged opposite to the indicating hole. The indicating member is arranged inside the operating button to save space and to indicate the break-contact and make-contact state through the indicating hole.
Circuit breaker
A circuit breaker includes a first fixed contact and a first movable contact which can be switched between a closed status and a tripped status, a signaling device for signaling when the circuit breaker is in a tripped status, a trip actuator movable from an initial position to an end-stroke position when the first movable contact is switched from the closed status to the tripped status, a tripping bar which is connected to the first movable contact so as when the trip actuator moves from the initial position, the tripping bar moves and triggers switching of the first movable contact from the closed status into the tripped status, and a trip member having a single-piece shaped body, which includes a first portion actuated by the trip actuator, a second portion spaced apart from the first portion, and a third portion spaced apart from the first and second portions.
Transfer Switch with Communication Capability
An apparatus for selectively coupling a load to a grid power source and an inverter that is fed electric power by an alternate power source includes a first node coupled to the load. A grid sensor senses a state of the grid power source. A grid relay couples the grid power source to the first node when in a closed state and decouples the grid power source from the first node when in an open state. An inverter relay couples the inverter to the first node when in a closed state and decouples the inverter from the first node when in an open state. A controller is programmed to: cause the grid relay and the inverter relay to closed when the grid sensor indicates available grid power and cause the grid relay to open when grid power is not available;. A communications circuit senses a current state of the controller and wirelessly communicates a change of state of a selected one of the grid sensor and the controller to a remote device.
SWITCH, POWER CONVERSION APPARATUS, AND POWER SUPPLY SYSTEM
A switch, a power conversion apparatus, and a power supply system. The power supply system includes a control unit, a switch, a direct current source, and a power conversion unit. The switch is electrically connected between the direct current source and the power conversion unit, and the control unit is configured to send a switch-off signal to the switch when a fault occurs on the direct current source or the power conversion unit. The switch includes a contact component, a trip-free structure, and a knob that are sequentially disposed in a stacked manner in a first direction. A trip unit of the trip-free structure is configured to receive the switch-off signal, to unlock the trip unit from the cradle. The cradle drives the connecting rod structure to move, to separate the moving contact from the fixed contact.
Socket Based Disconnect with Surge Protection
An intermediate disconnect section (100) for mounting on a meter base (10) and an electricity meter (20). A first source coupling (117) mounted on a platform (106) is electrically couplable to a source connector of the meter base (10). A second source coupling (119) is electrically coupled to a source connection of the electricity meter (120). A first load coupling (121) is electrically coupled to a load connector of the meter base (10). A second load coupling (123) electrically coupled to a load connection of the electricity meter (20) and to the first load coupling (121). A switch (110) couples and decouples the first source coupling (117) to and from the second source coupling (119). A switching mechanism (130) opens and closes the switch (110) and includes an external device (138) that allows a user to open and close the switch (110) manually.
Circuit breaker pole for low voltage or medium voltage operation
