Abstract: A system includes a multidrop cable and a connector. The connector is configured to couple to one or more MCC withdrawable units installed in one or more respective buckets of an MCC, wherein the connector is configured to couple the one or more MCC withdrawable units to, and decouple the one or more MCC withdrawable units from, the multidrop cable without disrupting a network or a subnet of the MCC.

Abstract: Embodiments of this present disclosure may include a handle disposed on an outer surface of a housing of electrical circuitry. The handle may provide access to at least a portion of the electrical circuitry. The handle may include a status indicator that emits light in response to a control signal from control circuitry. The status indicator may be disposed around the handle. The control circuitry may detect a state of the electrical protection circuitry. The control circuitry may also transmit the control signal to the status indicator based on the state. The control signal may control one or more properties of the light emitted by the status indicator, and thus indicate to an operator the state of the electrical circuitry.

Abstract: A method for generating assembly instructions may include receiving inputs from a user, such that the inputs may include an indication of components of a product package. The method may also include retrieving assembly attribute data for each component from a first storage component, such that the assembly attribute data includes information regarding compatibility properties between two or more of the plurality of components. The method may then involve retrieving model data for each component from a second storage component, such that the model data is representative of physical properties of a respective component. The method may also include generating the assembly instructions for assembling the components together based on the attribute data and the model data, such that the assembly instructions include visualizations representative of at least a portion of a process for assembling the plurality of components together. The assembly instructions are then presented via an electronic display.

Abstract: Described herein are improvements for a power system by operating the power system using updated performance characteristics for a protection device. In one example, a method includes operating the power system based on a first operational curve for a first protection device of the one or more protection devices. The first operational curve indicates conditions upon which the first protection device will trip. The method also provides obtaining trip information describing conditions that cause the first protection device to trip at each of one or more trip occurrences during operation of the power system. The method further provides adjusting the first operational curve to generate an adjusted first operational curve that reflects the trip information and operating the power system based on the adjusted first operational curve.

Abstract: The present inventors have recognized that electrical units for Motor Control Centers (MCC's) can be improved to allow testing in a partially disconnected state while providing ingress protection through the use of sealing members without decreasing the size of the electrical unit. In particular, a full size electrical unit, able to advantageously accommodate a full array of electrical components like most other electrical units, can be partially withdrawn from an MCC for testing while still providing protection from the possibility of shock, gases and/or other hazards by way of sealing members such as gaskets and/or plates. Such sealing members can be mounted to the electrical unit to effectively seal the electrical unit with respect to the MCC when partially withdrawn.

Abstract: A motor control center (MCC) for an industrial automation system, includes an enclosure housing comprising a plurality of sections, including a first section having one or more buckets, including a first bucket, a first bus bar, a second bus bar, and a third bus bar extending horizontally across the first section along a back plane of the enclosure housing, and a first electrical component, configured to perform one or more functions of the MCC, disposed within the first bucket of the first section. The first electrical component is directly electrically coupled to the first set of bus bars such that the first electrical component draws a first phase of power from the first bus bar, a second phase of power from the second bus bar, and a third phase of power from the third bus bar.
