Abstract:
An inflatable coupling component tube 12 for a fluid-operated brake or clutch includes an elongated, generally tubular-shaped structure 24 of predetermined length having two ends 26a, 26b and a joint 28 between the two ends 26a, 26b that closes the tube 12 to form a generally toroidal-shaped cavity 30. A coupling component 10 for a fluid-operated brake or clutch that includes an inflatable tube 12, and a method of making an inflatable coupling component tube 12 are also disclosed.
Abstract:
A sensor assembly includes an electrical conductor, at least one of a voltage sensor and a current sensor disposed about the electrical conductor, and a first insulator molded about the electrical conductor. The first insulator includes a plurality of structures structured to maintain concentricity between the electrical conductor and the at least one of the voltage sensor and the current sensor. A second insulator is molded about the first insulator and the at least one of the voltage sensor and the current sensor.

Abstract:
An electrical switching apparatus includes separable contacts, an operating mechanism structured to open and close the separable contacts, and an arc chamber. The arc chamber includes a slot motor having a core and a housing with an opening therein, an arc chute, and a number of gassing inserts disposed in the opening of the housing. The number of gassing inserts and the housing are structured to form a number of gas flow circulation paths. The number of gas flow circulation paths are structured to drive an arc into the arc chute.
Abstract:
A system and method for measuring voltage of a medium to high voltage line conductor is disclosed. The system includes an electrical insulator having a surface and an edge, the surface having an opening therein to allow passage of a line conductor therethrough in a direction generally perpendicular to the surface. The system also includes first and second electrodes positioned about the opening on the surface of the electrical insulator and spaced apart from one another to provide a common capacitive divider signal indicative of a voltage potential of the line conductor.
