Abstract: The present invention relates to the field of electrical relays. In particular the invention relates to a bracket a relay and bracket combination which permits the relay to be mounted on a surface or panel in a plurality of angular rotational orientations. There is provided a relay and mounting bracket combination comprising a relay having a body with a terminal end portion provided with one or more electrical terminal connectors and a base end portion adapted for engagement with the bracket, wherein the bracket is provided with attachment features which facilitate the mounting of the bracket to an external object or surface when the bracket is engaged with the base end portion of the relay.

Abstract: An electrical switch for connecting and breaking a circuit including a connecting and breaking mechanism for connecting and breaking the circuit provided with at least a set of movable contacts and stationary contacts; a electromagnetism drive mechanism for controlling the contacts to be actuated so as to realize closed circuit; a housing for accommodating the movable contact and stationary contact; an arc-extinguishing mechanism disposed in the housing and corresponded to the movable and stationary contact; a case connected to a base for accommodating the electromagnetism drive mechanism; a bedplate associated with the case; and a holding mechanism disposed on the bedplate for holding the contacts to connect the circuit, the electromagnetic holding mechanism is electromagnetic and has a set of electromagnetic attracting mechanism in which the movable iron core is made to be a pothook or a baffle mechanism, the movable iron core is attracted so that the pothook or baffle keeps the switch closed by means of hi

Abstract: Synchronous circuit interruption is provided by operation of a diversion circuit for diverting most of the circuit current away from a pair of series-connected electrical contacts over to a solid state current interrupter prior to energizing a contact operator to separate the contacts to interrupt the remaining circuit current. To ensure arcless contact separation, the contact operator is arranged electrically in series with the solid state current interrupter which ultimately dissipates the system energy within a voltage dependent element. The arrangement of the contact operator circuit in series with the solid state current interrupter synchronizes the operation of the contact operator to ensure that the contacts are separated immediately after the circuit current has become diverted.
