摘要： A circuit fault detector and interrupter which consists of parallel current conduction paths, including a path through a mechanical contactor and a path through a power electronics switch. A fault can be detected by a fault detection circuit within 50 microseconds of the occurrence of the fault, causing the mechanical contactor to be opened and the fault current to be commutated via a laminated, low-inductance bus through the power electronics switch. The power electronics switch is thereafter turned off as soon as possible, interrupting the fault current. The fault current can be interrupted within 200 microseconds of the occurrence of the fault, and the device reduces or eliminates arcing when the mechanical contactor is opened.

摘要： A circuit fault detector and interrupter which consists of parallel current conduction paths, including a path through a mechanical contactor and a path through a power electronics switch having active feedback control. A fault can be detected by a fault detection circuit within 50 μS of the occurrence of the fault, causing the mechanical contactor to be opened and the fault current to be commutated via a laminated, low-inductance bus through the power electronics switch. The power electronics switch is thereafter turned off as soon as possible, interrupting the fault current and absorbing the inductive energy in the circuit. The fault current can be interrupted within 200 microseconds of the occurrence of the fault, and the device reduces or eliminates arcing when the mechanical contactor is opened.

摘要： A compact electrical bus for transmission of three-phase electrical power through longitudinally elongated insulatively sandwiched lamina carrying respective power phases. A plurality of electrically conductive longitudinally elongated lamina have transversely off set parts respecting one another and a plurality of electrically conductive longitudinally elongated lamina devoid of offsets. The pluralities of lamina are sandwiched together between layers of insulation. When assembled, offsets of one lamina transversely align in a nested relationship with an off set of a second lamina. The lamina devoid of offsets further nests within the offset of the second lamina.

摘要： An electrical bus connector including a series of pins which are extended or retracted through a series of receptacles. Each receptacle is generally a bulbous-shaped longitudinally elongated shell having an opening at a base end and at a top end, the base end having a larger interior area than the top end. The bulbous base end includes a sleeve to guide the pin. The receptacle shell wraps around the sleeve and tapers inward toward the top end to retain the sleeve within the receptacle. The receptacle shell includes a series of longitudinally elongated leaves circularly arranged about the longitudinal axis. The leaves of the receptacle flare out at the top end, providing a lip to accept the pin. The receptacle shell has at least one and preferably two annular recesses, each recess receiving a coiled spring. The coiled spring(s) bias the leaves of the receptacle shell inwardly, but allow the leaves to expand upon pin insertion to ensure contact between the pin and the receptacle.
