Abstract: A power module includes a switch portion operative to switch an alternating current (A/C) voltage, a rectifier portion operative to receive the switched A/C voltage, rectify the switched A/C voltage, and output a direct current (D/C) voltage, a power control module operative to receive the D/C voltage and to charge a voltage storage device, and a controller portion, configured to be powered by the D/C voltage from the voltage storage device, operative to receive an external control signal and control a state of the switch portion.

Abstract: According to a preferred embodiment, a terminal for electrical leads comprises a housing, a guide, a current bar, a leaf spring and a moveable operator. The guide is supported by the housing and comprises guide surfaces that connect with at least one surface of the current bar. The leaf spring comprises at least one limb with an offset for clamping a cable to the current bar. Additionally, the terminal comprises a moveable operator dimensioned and configured to allow the release of a cable from contact with the current bar.

Abstract: A multi-terminal block for electric devices, comprising two superimposed connecting levels for conductors, which can be used independent of each other, the multi-terminal block comprising: a first terminal block comprising a cage screw type conductor connector which comprises a cage and a screw for use securing the a first conductor, wherein the first terminal block cooperates with a terminal; and a second terminal block comprising a quick connecting type conductor connector, wherein the quick connecting type conductor connector comprises a strip spring for securing a second conductor, wherein the screw does not extend through the second terminal block and wherein the second terminal block is partially disposed within the cage such that the second terminal block cooperates with the terminal.
