摘要: A fault detector test device includes a test switch including a pivotable lever arm having a first end pivotably connected to rotate about an axis and a second end pivotable in an arc around the axis between an active position and an inactive position. A slide member has a first end accessible by an operator and a second end that cooperates with the second end of the lever arm, the slide member being slideable with respect to the axis of the lever arm such that the second end of the slide member slides in a plane that is substantially tangential to the arc in which the second end of the lever arm pivots. The second end of the slide member and the second end of the lever arm cooperate such that generally planar sliding motion of the slide member is translated into pivoting motion of the lever arm about the axis.

摘要: A circuit interrupter electrically connects a line terminal to a load terminal in a closed condition and electrically disconnects the line terminal from the load terminal in the open condition. A controller includes a fault detector configured to detect a fault in an electrical signal in a load circuit, such that when a fault is detected on the load circuit, the fault detector causes actuation of the interrupter to the open condition. The controller is adapted to receive an off command, and in response to the off command, generate a simulated fault in the load circuit, such that the fault detector causes actuation of the interrupter to the open condition, such that one and the same interrupter is employed for both fault tripping and commanded tripping.

摘要: A DC voltage circuit interrupter that provides polarity insensitive arc suppression. The circuit interrupter includes two permanent magnets that are positioned in proximity to each of the contacts in the circuit interrupter and is designed to urge an arc that develops between the contacts either toward a first arc extinguisher or a second arc extinguisher depending on the polarity of the applied DC voltage. The circuit interrupter being quick to assemble, lightweight and relatively inexpensive and easy to mount.

摘要: A high voltage DC circuit interrupter that is provided with a double break contact where each contact is provided with an arc chamber. The double break contacts are provided in series with each other and an overcurrent measurement device such that if an overcurrent is measured, the contacts are simultaneously opened (i.e., double break) to lower the voltage that is developed across each of the sets of contacts. A handle is provided for simultaneously resetting and closing the sets of contacts.

摘要: A circuit interrupter having a status indicator providing a current status of the circuit interrupter, the status indicator presenting one of: an On state, an Off state or a Fault state. The status indication is provided as a visual status and is color coded to one of the three circuit interrupter states. The circuit interrupter further including, in one configuration, a rocker actuator that rotates about an axis and the status indication mechanism is coupled to the rocker actuator.

摘要: A circuit interrupter having at least two sets of contacts that are electrically connected in series such that when the at least two sets of contacts are opened, they are opened simultaneously. This functions to increase the distance between the sets of contacts as the distance is additive for the series connected sets of contacts, which increases the arc voltage for breaking any arc that may form between the individual sets of contacts more effectively. The contacts are configured such that there is a lateral sliding action as the contacts close, which functions to "wipe" the respective contact surfaces to remove any debris or contamination that may be on the surfaces.

摘要: A circuit breaker assembly 10 includes a plurality of circuit breakers 12, 14 each including a housing 16, 18 with a trip mechanism therein and each having an opening 32 in a side of the respective housing. Each trip mechanism has a coupler disc 24 connected thereto. The plurality of circuit breakers are aligned in an end-to-end fashion with a trip member 21 positioned along a side of the housings and connected to the coupler discs 24 such that if the first trip mechanism actuates from a untripped state to a tripped state the trip member 21 actuates the second trip mechanism from a untripped state to a tripped state and vice versa.

摘要: A low current switch has a flexible movable contact that can be deflected by an actuator. In some implementations the switch may permit a low current switch to be manufactured using elements of a high current switch without requiring large amounts of precious metal. The flexible movable contact may be arranged as one or more cantilevers that are deflected using a rocking actuator. The actuator interacts with the movable contact in such a way as to provide tactile feedback to an operator comparable to a high current switch having a rigid movable contact. Also described are a set of low and high current switches, components of a low current switch, and a method of manufacturing a low current switch.

摘要: A circuit breaker having a movable contact arm for opening and closing the circuit which is controlled separately by a circuit breaker mechanism for circuit protection and by a switch lever mechanism which does not require actuation of the circuit breaker mechanism to function. The switch lever may be activated by a solenoid or other suitable means, and various interlocking mechanical states exist among the elements that provide added safety features.
