    摘要: An electrical overload protection device for readily identifying and resetting a tripped circuit breaker includes a button, which is retained in depressed and extended configurations by a biaser. A first end and a second end of a plate spring are attached to the housing and the biaser, respectively. A bimetal strip, which is attached to and positioned in the housing, is reversibly deformable and thus bendable upon exposure to a specified current. Depressing the button contacts the biaser with the bimetal strip to complete an electrical circuit, which, should it exceed the specified current, bends the bimetal strip to actuate the plate spring to extend a shaft from the housing. The bending also disengages the biaser from the bimetal strip and breaks the electrical circuit. Depressing the shaft reverses deformation of the bimetal strip and reextends the button so it is again depressible to complete the electrical circuit.

    摘要: A remote-controlled mechanism according to an embodiment is used for coupling to a protective switching device to use a controllable drive device of the remote-controlled mechanism to actuate the coupled protective switching device. To this end, the remote-controlled mechanism includes: an actuating element operatively connectable to an actuating element of the coupled protective switching device and actuatable either by a remotely controllable drive device of the remote-controlled mechanism or manually; one or more sensor devices for capturing position data relating to a position of the actuating element of the remote-controlled mechanism; and a controller for evaluating the captured position data and for controlling the drive device via control commands. The controller is designed to disable the drive device upon an evaluation of the position data and/or of the control commands revealing that the actuating element of the remote-controlled mechanism has been switched off manually.

    摘要: A magnetic trip device according to the present disclosure comprises an actuator coil part having a plunger; an output plate configured to rotate in a first direction by the pressing of the plunger; a micro switch configured to output an electrical signal indicating a state of the circuit breaker; a switch driving lever mechanism configured to rotate to a first position for pressing the operation lever portion and a second position for releasing the operation lever portion; a driving lever bias spring for elastically pressing the switch driving lever mechanism; an automatic reset mechanism for pressing the plunger to the retracted position; a driving lever latch configured to rotate to a restraining position for preventing the switch driving lever mechanism from rotating to the first position, and a release position; and an avoiding portion formed on the output plate to avoid contacting with the switch driving lever mechanism.

    摘要: This disclosure relates to various embodiments of rotary actuation devices that may be utilized in a variety of applications. In one embodiment, a rotary actuation device is configured to transition between a first position and a second position in response to each of a manual adjustment, an activation of an electrical actuator, and a force generated by a deck device. The rotary actuation device may be at least one deck device configured to exert a force in response to a condition. The force may cause the rotary actuation device to transition between the first position and the second position. The rotary actuation device may further include an electrical actuator configured to generate a motion upon activation. A rotary latch mechanism coupled to the electrical actuator and may cause the rotary actuation device to transition from the first position to the second position.

    摘要: An indicator system for an electronic miniature circuit breaker that has tripped and therefore has no power to provide its own trip indication comprises a breaker in a tripping state and an adjacent breaker in a nontripping state, both with aligned indicator light tubes and data transmission lines or light pipes. The tripped, or tripping, breaker sends a Notice of Trip Data signal before its contacts open and its power goes out, or does so on reserve power. A neighboring breaker's transceiver receives the Notice of Trip Data signal, encodes it, and then repeats it back via an LED and indicator light tube to the tripped breaker. The trip occurrence has opened a shutter on the tripped breaker which allows it to display the repeated Notice of Trip Data signal as a visible light indication through an indicator window in its top wall.
