An electrical switching apparatus includes a ferromagnetic frame having first and opposite second portions, a ferromagnetic core disposed therebetween, a permanent magnet disposed on the first portion, a first tapered portion on the opposite second portion; a coil disposed about the core; and a ferromagnetic or magnetic armature including a first portion, an opposite second portion and a pivot portion pivotally disposed on the core between the portions of the armature. The armature opposite second portion has a complementary second tapered portion therein. In a first armature position, the armature first portion is magnetically attracted by the permanent magnet and the first and second tapered portions are moved apart with the coil de-energized. In a second armature position, the armature opposite second portion is magnetically attracted by the opposite second portion of the frame and the first tapered portion is moved into the second tapered portion with the coil energized.

A switching device structure having a top layer and a bottom layer, each layer comprising a body of magnetizable material, such as permalloy, disposed within a coil wherein an armature is suspended in a cavity between the top and bottom layers, the armature having ferromagnetic material disposed on a top and bottom surface thereof. Each body of magnetizable material may be pulsed by its respective coil to switch it from a magnetic state to a non-magnetic state and then subsequently pulsed by the coil to switch it from the non-magnetic state to a magnetic state.

An electromechanical relay includes an armature and an inner core at least partially surrounding at least a portion of the armature. The armature is slidably movable relative to the inner core. A coil at least partially surrounding at least a portion of the inner core. The relay also includes a stationary contact held in a ceramic header and a movable contact connected to the armature via a shaft. The movable contact is movable between an open position wherein the movable contact does not engage the stationary contact and a closed position wherein the movable contact engages the stationary contact. The relay also includes a housing having an open end and a chamber. The chamber contains the armature, the inner core, the coil, the movable contact, and at least a portion of the stationary contact. The housing forms a portion of a magnetic circuit of the relay. The ceramic header is circumferentially welded to the housing adjacent the open end such that the chamber of the housing is hermetically sealed.

A U-shaped bar of so-called remanent magnetic material serves as a core for actuating one or more magnetic reed switches that are mounted between the legs of the U with their magnetic axes generally parallel with the bight of the U. Two coils are positioned around the bight of the U, one wound upon an axis parallel to the bight, and the other wound on an axis orthogonal to the bight. The switch, or switches are latched selectively and alternately in either their closed or open position, depending on which of the two coils is energized. The condition of the device may be sensed magnetically in a manner similar to the reading of magnetic memory devices.

988,383. Electrically released switches. WESTERN ELECTRIC CO. Inc. Feb. 22, 1962 [Feb. 27, 1961], No. 6880/62. Heading H2B. A switching device including a magnetic member which has a plurality of stable remanent magnetic states has one or more such members so shaped and located with respect to the contact members as to be magnetically influenced by a current pulse through the contacts, thereby setting the magnetic state of the member. As shown in Fig. 1, a sealed magnetic contact device has magnetically soft spring contact reeds 12, 13 biased apart in a glass tube 18 surrounded by interleaved windings A1-A2, B1, B2 within a cylindrical permalloy housing 11. The housing acts as a magnetic shield and a flux path between two annular ferrite remanent members 21, 22 around the contact terminals 14, 17. Additive energization of coils A1-A2, B1-B2 closes contacts 12, 13 and results in radial remanent magnetization of members 21, 22 (Fig. 3) which retains the contacts closed on de-energization of the coils. A high-amplitude, short duration current pulse though the contacts will change the magnetization pattern of members 21, 22 from radial to circular (Fig. 4) allowing the contacts 12, 13 to separate due to their inherent spring bias. As shown in Figs. 5 and 6, the remanent ferrite members 44, 47 may be mounted on the ends of contacts 27, 28 which are opened and closed on energization and de-energization of coils X1-X2, Y1-Y2. A current pulse in the contacts resulting in circular magnetization, retains the contacts closed. In Fig. 7 remanent members 58, 71 surround contacts 51, 52 and opening and closing of the contacts is dependant on the relative, most recent, energization of coils P1-P2, R1-R2, M1-M2, N1-N2. Opening by circular magnetization due to a current pulse through the contacts is effected as in Fig. 1. Specifications 522,798 and 870,906 are referred to.
摘要:
A contactor includes a plurality of switches mechanically coupled to an actuator. The actuator is moveable between operational and tripped positions. Switches that are closed in the operational position are open in the tripped position, and vice versa. The actuator extends through a coil as a core. The coil moves the actuator when an input signal is applied to the coil. A first input circuit receives a power-up input signal to transition the contactor from a tripped position to an operational position. A second input circuit receives a trip signal to transition the contactor from the operational position to the tripped position. First and second switches, coupled to respective first and second ends of the coil, reverse the polarity of the coil each occurrence of the actuator being actuated in preparation for the coil to be energized and magnetically polarized in an opposite direction during a next subsequent actuation.
