Abstract: A circuit breaker assembly can include a mechanism configured to be actuated by an operator. The mechanism can be configured to move between a first position and a second position to change a state of a contactor between a closed state and an open state. The circuit breaker assembly can include a reluctance sensor system operatively connected to the mechanism and configured to determine a position and/or a motion of the mechanism as a function of magnetic reluctance. The reluctance in the reluctance sensor system can change as a function of mechanism position.

Abstract: The invention relates to a circuit breaker for a low-voltage circuit having input and output terminals for conductors of the low-voltage circuit. Within the circuit breaker, the low-voltage circuit can be interrupted or closed. The circuit breaker also has a current sensor which determines the level of the electrical current in the low-voltage circuit and is connected to an electronic trigger unit which has a display for displaying information and interrupts the low-voltage circuit if current limit values or current-time limit values are exceeded. The display is designed to be removable.

Abstract: A relay state prediction device according to the present invention includes: a voltage value acquisition unit that measures every moment a detected voltage detected from two ends of a shunt resistor; a voltage value difference calculation unit that calculates a voltage value difference between a first voltage value of when the detected voltage becomes minimum by an armature starting displacement after a primary-side switch is turned off and a second voltage value of when secondary-side contacts are opened; a slope calculation unit that calculates a slope at which the voltage value difference decreases as the secondary-side contacts are repeatedly opened and closed in response to the primary-side switch repeatedly turning on and off; and a state prediction unit that predicts the number of openable and closable times from the present time until the voltage value difference reaches a predetermined threshold value based on the voltage value difference at the present time and the decreasing slope.

Abstract: A method for monitoring the operating state of a set of circuit breakers includes the steps of arranging on the wall of each circuit breaker a synchronous triaxial digital magnetometer on a semiconductor chip, cyclically and synchronously reading temperatures measured by the magnetometers and from the temperatures measured by the magnetometers and a value of the ambient temperature, determining, for each circuit breaker, whether an internal heating temperature of the circuit breaker reaches a first temperature threshold which may be representative of an anomaly of the operating state of the circuit breaker.

Abstract: An electrical overload protection device for readily identifying and resetting a tripped circuit breaker includes a button, which is retained in depressed and extended configurations by a biaser. A first end and a second end of a plate spring are attached to the housing and the biaser, respectively. A bimetal strip, which is attached to and positioned in the housing, is reversibly deformable and thus bendable upon exposure to a specified current. Depressing the button contacts the biaser with the bimetal strip to complete an electrical circuit, which, should it exceed the specified current, bends the bimetal strip to actuate the plate spring to extend a shaft from the housing. The bending also disengages the biaser from the bimetal strip and breaks the electrical circuit. Depressing the shaft reverses deformation of the bimetal strip and reextends the button so it is again depressible to complete the electrical circuit.

Abstract: A circuit breaker can include a light source, an optical sensor, a handle and a processor. The handle can be movable between different handle positions which correspond to different circuit breaker statuses. The handle can include a handle body and a light control plate which moves along with the handle body. The light control plate can have different light passage regions each of which is configured to be positioned between the light source and the optical sensor when the handle is moved to a corresponding one of the different handle positions. Each of the different light passage regions allows a different amount of light emitted from the light source to pass to the sensor when positioned between the light source and the sensor. The processor is configured to determine a status of the circuit breaker based on the sensed amount of light which relates to a position of the handle.
