An electrical utility meter includes metering circuitry configured for connection to at least one utility power line and a service disconnect member. The metering circuitry is configured to receive an electrical signal corresponding to a line voltage on the at least one utility power line. The service disconnect member is configured for connection to the at least one utility power line. A control circuit is configured to deliver a control signal to the service disconnect member synchronously with a zero crossing of the electrical signal corresponding to the line voltage on the at least one utility power line.

One embodiment describes a motor starter including a first single pole switching device that opens to disconnect power from a first winding of a motor; a second single pole switching device that closes after the first switching device opens to connect power to the first winding; a third single pole switching device that opens to disconnect power from a second winding of the motor; a fourth single pole switching device that closes after the third single pole switching device opens to connect power to the second winding; a fifth single pole switching device that opens to disconnect power form a third winding of the motor; and a sixth single pole switching device closes after the fifth single pole switching device opens to connect power to the third winding.

The aim of the invention is to improve the interrupting capacity of a vacuum switch, to achieve this, the contact parts (4, 5) that can be displaced in relation to each other are separated at a variable speed. Separation takes place in such a way that during a predetermined time period a predetermined distance between the contacts is not exceeded. To prevent said predetermined distance from being exceeded, a braking element is allocated to the vacuum circuit breaker.

In an arc preventing apparatus of a transfer switch connected to an inductive load, the movable contact of the transfer switch is stopped temporarily while it is transferred from one stationary contact to the other by means of a rotary cam. The cam is provided with a high point, a low point and a peripheral portion intermediate the high and low points so that while the actuating lever of the movable contact is engaging the intermediate peripheral portion, the movable contact is held stationary.

One embodiment describes a method that includes, when a motor is disconnected from a power source: starting, using a control circuitry, a counter at a first voltage zero-crossing by either a source voltage or a back electromotive force generated by the motor; stopping, using the control circuitry, the counter at a next subsequent second voltage zero-crossing by either the source voltage or the back electromotive force; monitoring, using the control circuitry, a trend in counter values; and instructing, using the control circuitry, one or more switching devices to reconnect the power source to the motor after a local minimum in the counter value trend such that the source voltage is leading the back electromotive force.

One embodiment describes a tangible, non-transitory, computer-readable medium storing instructions executable by a processor of an operating coil driver circuitry. The instructions include instructions to instruct a switch to supply a specific current to an operating coil of a switching device using a pulse-width modulated signal; determine duty cycle of the pulse-width modulated signal; and determine wellness of the switching device based at least in part on the duty cycle of the pulse-width module signal.

An electrical contactor has a first terminal having a fixed member with at least one fixed electrical contact, a second terminal, and a busbar connected to the second terminal. Two conductive movable arms are connected to the busbar and have a contact thereon. One arm is biased-closed to contact the fixed electrical contact in the absence of a separating force, and the other arm is biased-open to be spaced away from the fixed electrical contact in the absence of a closing force. The first and second movable arms and the busbar are arranged so that, when the contacts close, contra-flowing current urges the movable arms towards the fixed member to increase a force between the contacts.

The aim of the invention is to improve the breaking ability of vacuum interrupter in the medium- and high-voltage range. Said aim is achieved whereby the contact pieces which may be displaced relative to each other are moved with a relatively high speed during a first phase (S1) of the separation process until about null to null of the ultimate separation (extinction stroke Eh) and are brought to the given ultimate separation (isolating stroke Eh during a second phase (S2) with relatively low speed.
