摘要: Multi-pole and single-pole circuit breakers include a housing and a reset lockout mechanism disposed within the housing. The reset lockout mechanism disables electrical communication between line and load terminals of the circuit breaker if a predefined condition exists. Some circuit breakers include a single actuator, transition between ON and OFF states, and are capable of performing test functions. The test functions may involve testing AFCI and/or GFCI functions of the circuit breakers. The test functions may be performed when the circuit breaker transitions from an OFF state to an ON state. Some circuit breakers including a reset lockout mechanism may be powered only on its line side. Some circuit breakers provide an electrical indication when they are in the OFF state.

摘要: An exemplary embodiment of a load control device with a light indicator is disclosed. The load control device may include an actuator assembly and a light source. The actuator assembly may include a frame, a light pipe, and an actuator having two surfaces. The light pipe may be arranged within the actuator and include first and second legs. The first leg may extend towards the first surface, and the second leg may extend towards the second surface. When the actuator is in a first position, the light source may be optically aligned with one of the first and second legs; and, when the actuator is in a second position, the light source may be optically aligned with the other of the first and second legs. When the light source is illuminated, the light pipe may direct the light towards the respective surface of the actuator.

摘要: An electrical load controller includes an electrical switching device and an actuator assembly having at least one user actuator for use in turning power on and off to the load and for use in adjustably controlling the level of power to the load. A frame attached to the actuator includes an integrally formed backlightable indicator region having an outer continuous solid surface. Light from an illumination assembly related to the level of power to the load is directable onto a portion of an inner surface of the backlightable indicator region, transmittable through the backlightable region from the inner surface to the outer surface, emittable from a portion of the outer surface, and observable by the user.

摘要: A dimmer switch includes a housing having a frame having a single actuator opening therethrough. The opening has first and second portions. A controllably conductive device is disposed in the housing for adjustably controlling electrical power to a load. A pivotable toggle actuator is accessible through the first portion of the single actuator opening and pivotable between a first and second positions by a user. A slidable dimmer actuator is accessible through the second portion of the single actuator opening. The slidable dimmer actuator is slidable linearly within the second portion of the single actuator opening anywhere between first and second positions by a user. The pivotable toggle actuator is operable for controlling the controllably conductive device to turn on and off power to the load, and the slidable dimmer actuator is operable for controlling the controllably conductive device to adjustably control the level of power to the load.

摘要: A wiring device includes a housing that encloses a line voltage port and a low-voltage port for providing power to at least one removable load. The removable load can couple to a connector PCB. The connector PCB may include a tongue portion with retention surface features and a body portion with supporting circuitry. The tongue portion may be disposed within a low-voltage port of the wiring device. A plurality of conductive traces may extend from the body to the tongue of the connector PCB. The low voltage port may include sidewalls disposed around the tongue portion to guide the plug of a removable load into engagement with the conductive traces of the tongue portion so that one or more of the plurality of conductive traces electrically contact the removable load to deliver power to the removable load.

摘要: A circuit breaker and panel system includes a panel including a base pan having a plurality of base pan electrical connections. A circuit breaker including a housing having a plurality of circuit breaker electrical connections arranged to contact the base pan electrical connections when the circuit breaker is coupled to the base pan. The circuit breaker is rotatably coupleable with the base pan via a pivot joint for engaging the plurality of base pan electrical connections with the plurality of circuit breaker electrical connections per a predetermined electrical connection coupling sequence. One of the housing and the base pan includes a protrusion and the other of the housing and the base pan includes a corresponding recess which, when engaged with each other, retain the housing to the base pan to prevent reverse rotational movement of the breaker with respect to the base pan.
