Compact motor starter
A motor starter has a housing, a contactor portion disposed within the housing, a motor protection system disposed within the housing adjacent to the contactor portion in a vertical direction, and an actuation system disposed within the housing. The contactor portion may switch between an open position and a closed position, in which, in the open position, current does not flow through the motor starter and, in the closed position, current is allowed to flow through the motor starter. The motor protection system includes a plurality of components that may move the contactor portion to the open position based on a current flow, in which the actuation system may move the contactor portion between the closed position and the open position in response to receiving an input.
REMOTE LOAD SWITCHING CIRCUIT BREAKER
A remote load switching circuit breaker includes a primary contact; a secondary contact in series with the primary contact and coupled to a secondary contact driving circuit, where the secondary contact is switched on and off remotely by a user using a user device communicatively coupled to the remote load switching circuit breaker via wireless communications technologies; a shunt element structured to measure a shunt voltage drop and to tap power from a line side of the primary contact; a control circuit comprising a controller and a communication module, the controller including a firmware; and a power supply and sensing circuit structured to supply power to the control circuit and to sense various voltages, where the secondary contact is fully powered by the power supply and sensing circuit.
Electrical device for supplying power to power electrical units
An electrical device includes a fixed support with supply lines and a distribution circuit to supply power to a contactor block. Each contactor block includes secondary lines, each connected to a supply line, and is movable between joined and disjoined positions. Each contactor block includes a switching device for switching all secondary lines of the contactor block between open and closed. The electrical device also includes a control block, movable between joined and disjoined positions. When in the joined position, each contactor block also is held in the joined position, an electronic monitoring device of the control block also being connected to the switching device of each contactor block to control switching of each switching device independently. When the control block is in the disjoined position, the switching device of each contactor block opens the secondary lines, while each contactor block is movable between its joined and disjoined positions.
