Abstract:
A high current fusible disconnect switch device includes a switch housing configured to receive a pluggable touch-safe fuse module, and a dual slide bar actuator assembly for opening and closing switch contacts. The dual slide bar elements are each coupled to bias elements that store and release energy to affect switch opening and closing operations. The switch opening and closing operation is multi-staged wherein the only the first slider element is movable in the first stage, and both the first and second slider elements are movable in the second stage.
Abstract:
A fusible switch disconnect device includes a housing adapted to receive at least one fuse therein, and a switchable contact for connecting the fuse to circuitry. A current detecting element, a tripping mechanism, and control circuitry are provided to move the switchable contact to an open position in response to predetermined electrical current conditions in the device.
Abstract:
An electrical switch having an activation component that closes and opens contact points within a switch housing. The activation component may include a front end and a rear end. The rear end may be within the switch housing and the front end may be protruding from the switch housing. The front end of the activation component may include a fuse slot. A fuse may be placed in the fuse slot and removed from the fuse slot. A rubber cover may be removably attachable to the outside of the fuse slot to protect a fuse within the fuse slot
Abstract:
A fusible switch disconnect device includes a housing adapted to receive at least one fuse therein, and a switchable contact for connecting the fuse to circuitry. A tripping mechanism and control circuitry are provided to displace the switchable contact, as well as multiple other components in the device, in response to a predetermined electrical condition.
Abstract:
A monitoring module for a fusible switch disconnect device includes an open fuse detecting element and wire leads for completing an electrical connection with a fuse.

A fusible switch disconnect device includes a housing adapted to receive at least one fuse therein, and switchable contacts for connecting the fuse to circuitry. A tripping mechanism is provided to disconnect the switchable contacts when predetermined circuit conditions occur.
Abstract:
The present invention is an electric switch for switching individual phases of multi-phase AC electric power. The switch has at least one pair of fixed terminals with each terminal of the pair having an ear extending upward in a vertical plane. The switch also has a conducting device with contacts that extend downward in the vertical plane corresponding to the fixed terminals. Moving contacts are mounted to an axially translatable contact carrier and engage contemporaneously in the vertical plane with the contacts from the conducting device and the fixed terminals when the contact carrier slides into an "on" position. Electrical power is then able to flow from the line-side fixed terminal, through the conducting device, to the load-side terminal. The contact carrier is translated axially by the drive mechanism. The drive mechanism employs over-center shifting and lost-motion switching technology to prevent the switch from being in a partially "on" position. An auxiliary switch can be mounted to the switch and switched "on" and "off" contemporaneously with the electric switch.
Abstract:
A Fusible electric switch is herein described for increased ratings within industrial electrical distribution circuits by the provision of an arc exhaust gas controller. The arc gas controller cools and deionizes the arc gases that are generated upon separation of the switch contacts and exhausts the gases in a predetermined direction outside the switch enclosure. Fuse pullers are arranged at one end of each of the switch fuses to facilitate both installation and removal of the fuses.
Abstract:
An electrical switch assembly includes a housing adapted to be coupled to a hose and nozzle to form a fluid passage therebetween. The assembly has a pair of reed switches which provide signal input to circuitry and each switch may be activated by the manual rotation of a sleeve. The sleeve carries a magnet to actuate the switch and may be rotated in either direction from a centered position between the reed switches.
Abstract:
An arc chute or arc suppressor including a supporting casing in covering relationship with a pair of stationary contact jaws cooperable with an electrical switch blade, cold-molded arcsuppressive material supported in the casing forwardly of the contact jaws, and a plurality of generally U-shaped metal plates supported in spaced relationship forwardly of the contact jaws by the arc-suppressive material, the plate nearest the contact jaws being substantially completely covered on the surface thereof facing the contact jaws by the arc-suppressive material.
