    摘要: An input device includes a fixed electrode, a reference electrode, a switch electrode, an operating member, and a moving electrode. The moving electrode is provided for the operating member and is movable integrally with the operating member. The moving electrode includes a first connection portion and a second connection portion. Subjecting the operating member to no press operation keeps the moving electrode out of contact with the fixed electrode, the reference electrode, or the switch electrode. Subjecting the operating member to a press operation brings the first connection portion into contact with the reference electrode and then brings the second connection portion into contact with the switch electrode.

    摘要: Various examples are provided related to direct current circuit breakers and their control methods. In one example, among others, a hybrid direct current circuit breaker (DCCB) includes an ultrafast mechanical switch (UFMS) connected in series with a commutating switch (CS) or auxiliary circuit breaker (ACB); a main breaker (MB) including a series of η semiconductor switching stages in parallel with the UFMS and CS or ACB; and control circuitry that can turn off individual switching stages in a defined order in response to opening contacts of the UFMS. The switching stages can be turned off based upon a dielectric strength across the contacts as they open. In another example, a method includes opening contacts of an UFMS connected in series with a CS or ACB; and turning off individual switching stages of a series of η semiconductor switching stages connected across the UFMS and the CS or ACB.

    摘要: The invention relates to a triggered fuse for low-voltage applications for protecting devices that can be connected to a power supply system, in particular surge protection devices, consisting of at least one fusible conductor which is located between two contacts and is arranged in a housing, and also consisting of a trigger device for controlled disconnection of the fusible conductor in the event of malfunctions or overload states of the respective connected device, wherein an arc quenching medium is introduced into the housing. The at least one fusible conductor has a plurality of conventional electrical bottlenecks, which are designed for the rated load of the respective fuse. At least one further additional geometric bottleneck is provided, which is disconnectable by rupturing depending on the trigger unit when applied by tension.

    摘要: A two terminal arc suppressor for protecting switch, relay or contactor contacts and the like comprises a two terminal module adapted to be attached in parallel with the contacts to be protected and including a circuit for deriving an operating voltage upon the transitioning of the switch, relay or contactor contacts from a closed to an open disposition, the power being rectified and the resulting DC signal used to trigger a power triac switch via an optoisolator circuit whereby arc suppression pulses are generated for short predetermined intervals only at a transition of the mechanical switch, relay or contactor contacts from an closed to an open transition and, again, at an open to a close transition during contact bounce conditions.
