    摘要: A constant load and constant contact force snap-action switch having a normally-closed movable operate contact on a flipper blade which has a compression strip that snaps through an S-curvature to a reverse buckled state to trip the operate contact open. The flipper blade is coupled through an insulating cap to the leaf spring mounted movable alarm contact to close the latter at the same time. A return spring biased reset lever resets the operate contacts on depression down a first amount, opens the operate contact without closing the alarm contacts on depression down a second amount for stop purposes, and trips the operate contacts open on lifting upwards for test purposes. On reset, lost motion in the coupling cap knocks the alarm contact open if welded. A selector is settable to select any of three functions for the reset lever, (1) reset-stop-test, (2) auto reset stop, or (3) reset test.

    摘要: Current limiting stationary (2) and movable (6) contacts are arranged to provide spaced, parallel oppositely directed current paths therein whereby fault currents generate electromagnetic forces for repelling the movable contact (6) from the stationary contact (2). An electrically resistive arc runner (20) has an arc transfer segment (20a) disposed along the path of movement of the movable contact (6) and is biased at one end (20b) into current carrying engagement with a stop (22) on stationary contact (2). The other end of the transfer segment (20a) is connected through a major length of the arc runner (20) to the stationary contact (2) at a point distinct from stop (22). An arc drawn between the contacts (2, 6) at separation initially passes current to the transfer segment (20a) and the stationary contact (2) through stop (22). Gas pressure from the arc subsequently forces a separation of the arc runner end (20b) from the stop (22) whereby current is directed through the major length of the arc runner to the stationary contact for increasing the resistance of the arc for extinguishing the arc.

    摘要: A reduced-size thermal overload relay having a housing (2) that includes three narrow compartments (2k, 2l, 2m) in which are mounted three connector brackets (16,18,20) supporting three flat bimetal members (16j, 18j, 20j). Three narrow cassette heaters (6,8,10) are mounted at the upper part of the housing and held in by a snap-in hold-down device (12) that engages pairs of hooks (6b, 7b) at the lower portions of the heaters. A pushbutton (12a) on the hold-down device extends through a hole (3c) in the front wall of the housing for manual depression to release the heaters for removal. Each bracket (16) is H-shaped having legs (16c, 16d) for mounting it in a housing compartment (2k) and arms (16a, 16b) connected by a platform (16e) to which the upper terminal clip (6d) of the cassette heater is clamped with a screw (16q), the small angles of this platform and terminal clip automatically drawing the flat heater element (6c) into desired spacing with the bimetal member. The current flow down the arms (16a, 16b) prevents loss of heat through the terminal lead (16h). A switch (4) mounted at the side of the housing is tripped by a joint or differential operating mechanism (28,30,32) mounted below the three compartments and actuated by the three deflecting bimetal members.

    摘要: A pair of springs (14, 22) provide counteracting rotational bias to a movable contact arm (8) pivotally supported on a latched lever (10). A handle (4) is manually operable for reducing the force applied by one spring (22) to effect contact (6a, 8b) opening as a result of force applied by the other spring (14). Current sensing means (28, 34, 28a) are operable to release the latched lever (10) for releasing the pivot point (12) of the movable contact arm (8) whereby both springs (14, 22) work in a common direction to rapidly separate the contacts (6a, 8b). Arc gases are exhausted in the direction of separating movement of the movable contact arm (8) to utilize forces associated with arc gas pressure in a cummulative manner with the forces provided by springs (14, 22) to further increase the contact separation speed.

    摘要: A narrow width, molded case circuit breaker having parallel, oppositely directed current paths in a conductive stationary contact support (8c) and a pivoting movable contact arm (12b) to cause separation of the contacts (10, 16) by repelling electromagnetic forces independently of a manual operating mechanism (6, 22) or a trip mechanism (18, 20, 22, 24, 26). An arc runner (8e) integral with the stationary contact support (8) has a slot communicating with a vent opening (2d) in the case for venting the arc gasses through the arc runner and vent opening. Arc plates (42, 44) are oriented parallel to the arc runner (8e) to reduce resistance to movement of the arc therethrough by means of gas pressure. Insulators (14, 52) are disposed over conductive members comprising the parallel current paths on the opposite side of the contacts from the arc runner to impede any tendency toward arc movement in an undesired direction.
