A low oil lock-out and/or trip apparatus for a submersible transformer circuit breaker of the type having a manually operated crank shaft assembly for opening and closing the circuit breaker and a fault trip assembly for opening the circuit breaker under fault current conditions, the apparatus including a float assembly which is responsive to changes in oil level in said transformer and a rod carried by said float for blocking the movement of the crankshaft and a trip member for tripping the trip assembly when the oil level drops below a predetermined level in the transformer.
摘要:
A high voltage fuse of the current limiting type including a housing of insulating material, a cylindrical support formed by an inorganic asbestos thread or string threaded on end plates which are mounted in a spaced relation on a support rod, the thread forming a cylindrical support for a fusible element which is spirally wrapped about the cylindrical support. An arc quenching material is used to fill the housing and completely surround said fusible element.

A mounting assembly removably supporting an over current fuse package in an opening in a switchgear enclosure. The fuse package having an entry bushing on one side and an internal bushing on the opposite side adapted to connect to a receptacle in the enclosure. The assembly includes a panel for supporting the fuse package in the opening in the enclosure. Clamps mounted on the enclosure for releaseably locking the panel to the enclosure. A lock assembly includes slide support members mounted on the enclosure, bracket members mounted on the panel, a rod rotatably mounted in the bracket members. The rod having a key mounted on each end which is operatively positioned in the slide support members and a bail connected to the rod moving the keys between a locked and an unlocked position with respect to the support members. The bail being inoperable until a cable connector is removed from the entry bushing.
摘要:
A temperature-responsive trip assembly for a primary circuit breaker, the assembly including a permanent magnet member biased to a circuit opening position and pertinent to engage a thermally-responsive metallic element having a predetermined Curie temperature, the element being formed of a nickel-iron alloy having approximately 32% nickel and being arranged in edge-abutting relation to the magnet.

The invention provides an isolating fusible link, in series with a transformer primary circuit breaker device, for producing an isolating gap after an occurrence of a primary fault condition. More particularly, the invention provides an apparatus comprising a power transformer primary circuit breaker device adapted to be electrically connected in a circuit and including a first contact, and a second contact movable out of engagement with the first contact to open the circuit and movable into engagement with the first contact to close the circuit; and a fuse device including a fusible link connected in electrical series with the breaker device, and adapted to fuse upon an overcurrent condition in the circuit, and structure for moving and maintaining the second current out of engagement with the first contact in response to fusing of the fusible link.
摘要:
A connection mechanism for connecting and disconnecting a cable connector to a bushing mounted on an electrical apparatus which is easier to use than cable connectors which require the threading of one electrical contact into another and which require more than one person to operate the connection mechanism. The connection mechanism assists in properly aligning the cable connector and the bushing and securely connects the cable connector to the bushing. Further, this connection mechanism eliminates the problem present in prior connection mechanisms of having to supply significant force in order to break the rubber-to-rubber interface bond which can occur when the connector has been connected to the bushing for a substantial period of time.
摘要:
A connection mechanism for connecting and disconnecting a cable connector to a bushing mounted on an electrical apparatus comprising a saddle shroud adapted to be connected to the cable connector and having an upwardly extending extension, a plate connected to the electrical apparatus above the bushing for supporting the saddle shroud and for permitting movement of the saddle shroud relative to the bushing, the plate having a slot which receives and supports the saddle shroud extension. The connection mechanism also includes a lever mechanism for driving the connector onto and away from the bushing comprising an elongated lever including an end adapted to receive the shroud extension supported in the slot, the lever being pivotally connected spaced from the end to the supporting plate, and an arm for pivoting the lever comprising an arm connected to the elongated lever, the arm having a shotgun stick receiving end and an opening spaced from the receiving end so that, when the shroud extension is received in the lever end, the lever can be pivoted so that the cable connector is forced onto the bushing when the lever is pivoted in one direction, and the cable connector is forced away from the bushing when the lever is pivoted in the opposite direction.
摘要:
A fused high voltage electrical bushing having a housing formed of a ceramic dielectric material, porcelain or glass, and having an axially extending passage, an electric terminal at each end of said passage, a fusible element within said passage interconnecting the terminals, a granular dielectric material completely filling the passage, a conductive layer of material on the inside surface of the passage, and a heat insulating sleeve positioned in the passage between the granular dielectric material and the inside surface of the housing to insulate the housing from the heat of the arc on interruption.
