20090160598 | FUSE MOUNTING MEMBER - A fuse mounting assembly includes an epoxy-bonded glass-fiber core that is surrounded by a resilient sleeve having a number of radially extending members. Attached to an end of the core is a first mounting bracket and attached to another end of the core is another mounting bracket. Each of the mounting brackets is connected to a fuse which is structured to protect a power circuit. | 06-25-2009 |
20100240265 | ELECTRICAL INTERFACES INCLUDING A NANO-PARTICLE LAYER - An electrical interface includes a nano-particle layer. The electrical interface also includes a first conductor and a second conductor. The nano-particle layer and the first and second conductors are electrically coupled together. | 09-23-2010 |
20150101913 | ROLL ON THE FLOOR CIRCUIT BREAKERS AND RELATED KITS AND METHODS - Roll on floor (ROF) circuit breakers include a plurality of support wheels configured to contact a support surface as the ROF circuit breaker is moved between locations. The support wheels have a rocker configuration whereby weight of the ROF circuit breaker is transferred between different sets of the wheels during movement to thereby facilitate ease of movement. | 04-16-2015 |
20150114807 | WITHDRAWABLE CONTACTOR TRUCKS WITH INTEGRAL MOTORIZED LEVERING-IN, RELATED SWTICHGEAR, KITS AND METHODS - Withdrawable contactor trucks for a circuit breaker have a cradle with a motorized drive system comprising an electric motor in the cradle. The motorized drive system is configured to move the contactor truck in a controlled path between a withdrawn position and a levering-in position in a switchgear compartment. | 04-30-2015 |
20150144597 | CIRCUIT BREAKER WITH LOW-CLEARANCE CONNECTIONS - A vacuum circuit breaker includes a frame and a vacuum interrupter supported by the frame. A control wiring harness exits from an opening in a top face of a housing portion of the frame and a terminal block is disposed on the top face of the housing portion and includes first terminals connected to wires of the control wiring harness and second terminals configured to be connected to external wires. | 05-28-2015 |
20150262767 | CRADLE ASSIST DEVICES AND RELATED KITS AND METHODS - Cradle-assist assemblies attached to the breaker cradle housing and/or base or residing at least partially in the breaker cradle housing and/or base include at least one actuator configured to laterally translate the at least one right and the at least one left lock members from the extended lock position to the retracted unlocked position in response to input from a user. The at least one actuator and/or transverse member(s) can be held in a defined position so that the lock members of the cradle can be locked in the respective retracted or extended positions until the cradle assist (internal) lock is manually or automatically released. | 09-17-2015 |
20150332883 | ELECTRICAL SWITCHING APPARATUS AND LINEAR ACTUATOR ASSEMBLY THEREFOR - A linear actuator assembly is for an electrical switching apparatus, such as a multi-pole circuit breaker. The circuit breaker includes a plurality of pole units each having separable contacts. The linear actuator assembly includes a base unit comprising a housing, and a plurality of linear actuators. Each linear actuator is mounted within the housing in alignment with a corresponding one of the pole units. Each linear actuator actuates the separable contacts of the corresponding one of the pole units. A controller is adapted to control actuation of the linear actuators. | 11-19-2015 |
20150364277 | ELECTRICAL ENCLOSURE AND GUARD ASSEMBLY THEREFOR - A guard assembly is for an electrical enclosure. The electrical enclosure includes a housing, an electrical switching apparatus, and a handle. The guard assembly includes: a shaft including a first end and a second end, the first end being structured to be coupled to the handle, the second end being structured to be coupled to the electrical switching apparatus; and a sleeve assembly structured to move between a retracted position and an extended position, the sleeve assembly including a sleeve member, the sleeve member including: a base located proximate the first end of the shaft, and a cover portion extending from the base toward the second end of the shaft, the shaft extending at least partially through the cover portion. Responsive to the sleeve assembly moving from the retracted position toward the extended position, the sleeve member moves away from the second end of the shaft. | 12-17-2015 |
