摘要:
A mechanical reinforcement for an electrical apparatus has at least one electrical element (115) with an outer surface (135) and a reinforcing structure (310) attached to the outer surface. The electrical element may be a monilithic MOV disk or a bonded MOV disk stack. The monolithic element may, for example, have a rating greater than 6 kV. The reinforcing structure may be pre-impregnated with resin. The machanical reinforcement provides improved high current durability to the electrical apparatus.

A magnetic component (100) and a method of manufacturing the same. The method comprises the steps of providing at least one shaped-core (110, 150) fabricated from an amorphous powder material, coupling at least a portion of at least one winding (130) to the at least one shaped-core (110), and pressing the at least one shaped-core (110, 150) with at least a portion of the at least one winding (130). The magnetic component (100) comprises at least one shaped-core (110, 150) fabricated from an amorphous powder material and at least a portion of at least one winding (130) coupled to the at least one shaped-core (110), wherein the at least one shaped-core (110, 150) is pressed to at least a portion of the at least one winding (130). The winding (130) may¬ be preformed, semi-preformed, or non-preformed and may include, but is not limited to, a clip or a coil. The amorphous powder material may be an iron-based or cobalt-based amorphous powder material or a nanoamorphous powder material.

An adjustment assembly (100) to quickly and efficiently adjust the length of a lanyard (400) used in conjunction with aircraft umbilical connector release mechanisms. The lanyard cable (400) includes at least two retaining mechanisms (405) spaced apart thereon. The adjustment assembly (100) includes a cam portion (115) that retains one of the retaining mechanisms (405) when in the locked position, and allows movement of the retaining mechanisms (405) through the adjustment assembly (100) when in the released position. The cable length can be adjusted when in the released position.

A loadbreak (100) connector system and methods for visible break include first (102) and second (104) mating connector assemblies configured to make or break an electrical connection under energized circuit conditions and a stored energy actuating element (166) configured to move one of the first and second mating connectors to a disconnected position relative to the other of the first and second mating connectors. One of the first and second mating connectors includes an arc follower (120), and the other of the first and second mating connectors includes an arc interrupter (142). The arc interrupter is configured to receive the arc follower, and the first and second mating connectors are positionable in a disconnected position wherein the arc follower remains engaged to and is located within the arc interrupter. Arc energy is distributed among multiple locations to reduce arc intensity.
摘要:
A fault interrupter and load break switch includes a trip assembly configured to automatically open a transformer circuit electrically coupled to stationary contacts of the switch upon the occurrence of a fault condition. The fault condition causes a Curie metal element electrically coupled to at least one of the stationary contacts to release a magnetic latch. The release causes a trip rotor of the trip assembly to rotate a rotor assembly. This rotation causes ends of a movable contact of the rotor assembly to electrically disengage the stationary contacts, thereby opening the circuit. The switch also includes a handle for manually opening and closing the electrical circuit in fault and non-fault conditions. Actuation of the handle coupled to the rotor assembly via a spring-loaded rotor causes the movable contact ends to selectively engage or disengage the stationary contacts.
