An electronic circuit breaker provides waveform data wirelessly and alters a breaker code wirelessly. The breaker comprises a transceiver to wirelessly transmit information including waveform data, a microcontroller including a processor and a memory and computer-readable firmware code stored in the memory which, when executed by the processor, causes the microcontroller to: monitor in real-time breaker functional parameters to determine parametric modifications, wirelessly transmit the information that was saved previously in the electronic circuit breaker about the one or more breaker functional parameters to a remote device with a graphical user interface, alter a breaker algorithm after analyzing load data of problematic electrical loads in a mobile application (APP) of the remote device to treat the problematic electrical loads as normal and safe and test the computer-readable firmware code with a problematic electrical load to make sure the electronic circuit breaker doesn't still trip on the problematic electrical load.

An apparatus (1) provided to connect at least one device (2) to a power distribution system (3), said apparatus (1) comprising a human machine interface, HMI, (4) having elements to interact with the apparatus (1), wherein the human machine interface elements (11,12) are adapted to display and/or to adjust setting values of operation parameters of the at least one connected device (2), wherein access to one or more human machine interface elements is restricted by at least one access restriction mechanism of said apparatus (1) to enhance the operation security of the at least one device (2) connected via said apparatus (1) to said power distribution system (3) and/or to enhance the operation security of the apparatus (1) and/or of the power distribution system (3).

Embodiments of the present disclosure disclose a method for improving a performance of a pulsed-ultraviolet (PUV) device. The method includes monitoring an input current across a circuit breaker in communication with a UV lamp, where the input current is delivered by a power signal and is interrupted by the circuit breaker upon exceeding a predefined cut-off current; generating a pulse signal having a set of frequencies based on the power signal for driving the UV lamp, where the pulse signal is associated with a predetermined cut-off frequency that increases the input current beyond the cut-off current; determining a predefined threshold current less than the cut-off current; and configuring the pulse signal with multiple distinct pulse frequencies per second for a predefined configuration period based on the input current exceeding the threshold current. The distinct pulse frequencies per second include at least one pulse frequency greater than the cut-off frequency.

An electromagnetic trip unit, wherein: the electromagnetic trip unit includes a movable core, an upper static core and a lower static core; the movable core can move relative to the upper static core and the lower static core in the upper static core and the lower static core; a movable core body end of a movable core body of the movable core faces and approaches the lower static core end of the lower static core, when the electromagnetic trip unit is not released, a first magnetic field air gap is formed between the movable core body end and the lower static core end; the movable core body of the movable core is also provided with a movable core body step, when the electromagnetic trip unit is not released, a second magnetic field air gap is formed between the movable core body step and the lower static core end.

Embodiments provide an Energy Reduction Maintenance Setting (ERMS) key that includes a data connector configured to communicatively couple to a data port of a target device. The ERMS key further includes an illumination device and an actuator mechanism having a base positional state and an actuated positional state. The ERMS key includes logic configured to, upon detecting the actuator mechanism has moved from the base positional state to the actuated positional state, generate and transmit a first data message to the target device through the data connector instructing the target device to enter a protected mode. The logic is further configured to, upon receiving a second data message from the target device over the data connector acknowledging that the target device as successfully entered the protected mode, cause the illumination device to illuminate.

A circuit protection apparatus includes separable contacts, an operating mechanism, an electronic trip unit storing a plurality of trip parameter combinations, wherein each of the trip parameter combinations specifies a certain value for each of a plurality of individual trip parameters, and a multi-position selector moveable among a plurality of predetermined positions and configured to enable selection of one of the predetermined positions. Each of the positions corresponds to a respective one of the trip parameter combinations, wherein the electronic trip unit is structured to, responsive to a chosen one of the plurality of predetermined positions being selected by the multi-position selector, cause the one of the trip parameter combinations corresponding to the chosen one of the plurality of predetermined positions to be used by the electronic trip unit to determine whether to cause the operating mechanism to trip open the separable contacts.
