摘要:
A plug-in summation current transformer module for insertion into a module-overlapping installation space of a multi-pole rail-mounted device that is formed of a plurality of housing modules has a summation current transformer and primary conductors routed through the tubular summation current transformer. The primary conductors have primary conductor ends. A primary conductor holder for fixing the primary conductor ends is fastened to the summation current transformer and adopts a fixing position for holding the primary conductor ends in an assembling position for insertion into a module-overlapping installation space and a releasing position where the primary conductor ends move transversely into a releasing position allowing the primary conductor ends to join into their contacts in the modules.

Arc Fault Circuit Interrupter (AFCI), Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) or AF/GF circuit breakers which may optionally have relatively small or compact bodies that have shaped neutral busbars and/or load terminals with an arm that extends through a window of a current transformer in a circuit breaker housing. The neutral busbar and/or load terminal can have a rigid or semi-rigid shaped body with a first segment that extends through the window of the current transformer and a second segment that extends behind the first segment about a printed circuit board. A plug-on, pigtail or bolt-on neutral can engage an electrical pad of the neutral busbar.

A portable ground fault circuit breaker includes a main housing. An interior housing in which moving and static contacts are disposed is disposed inside the main housing and includes a base and a base cover. The static contacts are hung in the interior housing. The moving contacts are disposed on an unbalancing moving contact frame. A trip lock is disposed at one end of the moving contact frame and connected to a fasten lock fulfilling the separation and connection of the moving and static contacts. A lower portion of the fasten lock penetrates the base to abut on a tripping solenoid disposed at an exterior bottom of the base. The solenoid and a main control circuit on a circuit board fulfill an electrical connection. A simple structure, a small bulk, use convenience, and a humanized appearance design are the effects.

摘要:
A circuit breaker (such as a miniature circuit breaker) that wirelessly communicates state and fault information to a main energy monitoring module. The wireless circuit breaker includes a transceiver and a power supply that harvests energy inductively from the line current conductor without the need for a connection to a neutral conductor. The wireless circuit breaker can be implemented in the same package as existing circuit breakers, eliminating the need to replace the panel when upgrading to a system that employs a main energy monitoring module. The wireless circuit breaker can also include an energy storage device for supplying power to the circuit breaker after it has tripped, allowing the circuit breaker to transmit information after a trip. The main energy monitoring module includes a processor and a gateway for evaluating and transmitting information received from the circuit breaker to other applications, such as webpages and smartphones.
