Each electric pole includes: an outer casing defining an internal volume of the electric pole; a fixed contact assembly accommodated in the internal volume of the electric pole and including a fixed contact member extending along a longitudinal axis of the electric pole; at least one movable contact assembly accommodated in the internal volume of the electric pole; an actuation member accommodated in the internal volume of the electric pole and arranged coaxially and externally relative to the fixed contact member, so that the fixed contact member passes through the actuation member along the longitudinal axis. The actuation member is slidingly movable along the fixed contact member. When moving between the first and second actuation positions, the actuation member transiently couples to each trip mechanism to actuate the trip mechanism.

Abstract

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a transfer apparatus for a dual-power transfer switch and an associated dual-power transfer switch. The transfer switch comprises a pair of pushing members adapted to be moved in opposite directions to control circuit breakers for the dual-power transfer switch in a mutually different manner, each of the pair of pushing members comprising a limiting slot; a transmission arm rotatably arranged between the pair of pushing members; a pair of pins arranged on radial ends of the transmission arm and each adapted to slide in the respective limiting slot with a rotation of the transmission arm to drive the respective pushing member to move; and a pair of elastic reset components arranged on the pair of pushing members and each adapted to be pressed by the respective pin during sliding of the pin to ensure the respective circuit breaker to be reset or switched into an open state with both of the circuit breakers being in the open state. With the transfer apparatus according to embodiments of the present disclosure, the tripped circuit breaker can be reset so that both of the circuit breakers are in the open state, which significantly improves the safety performance of the dual-power transfer switch. Furthermore, because only an elastic reset component is needed to be arranged on the pushing member, the conventional dual-power transfer switch can be easily modified to obtain a more reliable performance.

Abstract

Described herein is a method for determining a presence of anomalous conditions in a switching apparatus installed in an electric line of an electric power distribution grid. The method includes a sequence of steps for adjusting a lumped-parameter model describing, for each electric phase, the behavior of the switching apparatus during the opening maneuvers of the switching apparatus. Simulation values provided by the lumped-parameter model are used for calculating estimation values indicative of the amounts of arc energy released by the breaking components of the switching apparatus during the opening maneuvers of the switching apparatus.

Abstract

An electrical power distribution system includes a plurality of circuit protection devices coupled between an electrical power source and a plurality of electrical loads. Each circuit protection device includes a trip unit, a network interface communicatively coupled to a communication network including the circuit protection devices, a processor, and a memory. The memory stores instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to store test operational parameters associated with the circuit protection device, receive a test message including test data representing an electrical condition in the electrical power distribution system, adjust the test operational parameters based on the test data to simulate a response of the trip unit to the electrical condition, generate circuit protection data based on the test data and the adjusted set of test operational parameters, and transmit the circuit protection data to at least one of the communication network and a remote access device.

Abstract

The invention relates to a label structure for tagging a product item. The label structure, according to the invention, comprises: - a first graphic pattern having a first number of pixels and printed on a first portion of said label structure; - a second graphic pattern having a second number of pixels and printed on a second portion of said label structure, said second graphic pattern forming an optical code readable by an optical decoding device; - shielding means (3) capable of hiding or making visible said first graphic pattern depending on the values taken by a physical quantity (e.g. an environmental temperature) to which said label structure is exposed. Said first and second graphic patterns can be observed in combination, when said first graphic pattern is made visible by said shielding means. The combination of said first and second graphic patterns forms an optical code readable by an optical decoding device, when said first graphic pattern is made visible by said shielding means.

A low-voltage circuit breaker comprising one or more electrical poles, each of said poles having an internal space with a contact area and an arc extinguishing area, a fixed contact assembly and a movable contact assembly being positioned in said contact area, said movable contact assembly being movable between a closed position in which it is into contact with said fixed contact assembly and an open position in which it is spaced apart from said fixed contact assembly, an arc chamber comprising a plurality of substantially parallel arc-breaking plates made of a ferromagnetic material being positioned in said arc extinguishing area. The low-voltage circuit breaker is characterized in that said arc chamber further comprises at least one arc-breaking plate which is at least partially made of a ceramic material.

Abstract

A combination current sensor is disclosed. The combination current sensor includes a self-powering current transformer (CT), comprising a CT core having a CT coil wound therearaound. The CT coil comprises a predetermined number of individual turns of a conductive wire wound progressively along a length of the CT core to define a winding density, wherein the winding density of the CT coil varies along the length of the CT coil core. The combination current sensor also includes a Rogowski current sensing transformer, which includes a Rogowski core and a Rogowski coil wound therearound.
