Abstract: A supplementary charging device for an AC wallbox includes a housing, a first port for coupling to a charging port of a vehicle, the first port including an AC port and a DC port, a second port for coupling to an AC output of the AC wallbox via an AC charging cable, an at least unidirectionally formed DC/AC converter, and a control device arranged in the housing, the control device to couple the second port to the AC port of the first port, to couple the AC port of the at least unidirectionally formed DC/AC converter to the second port and to couple the DC port of the at least unidirectionally formed DC/AC converter to the DC port of the first port in a first operating mode, such that power coupled-in via the DC port of the DC/AC converter is provided at the second port.
Abstract: An electrical voltage-generating piezoelectric device comprising at least a first blade (1) with a curved portion (10) defining a first arm (11) and a second arm (12) of the blade, the first arm (11) being intended to be fastened to a fixed support, the second arm (12) being substantially flat and having a free end (120) designed to oscillate around its resting position under the effect of mechanical force, at least one piezoelectric element (31) resting upon one of the main surfaces (14) of the second arm (12) of the first blade. The device also includes a second blade (2) identical in structure to the first blade (1), the first arms (11, 21) of the first and second blades (1, 2) being fastened together on all or part of their surfaces and being fixed relative to each other.
Abstract: A device for limiting disturbances of an electrical nature, such as currents induced by overvoltages caused by these disturbances, in particular electromagnetic, for example relating to events of lightning type in an electrical installation, including at least one protection apparatus of isolator or differential breaker type intended to protect at least one downstream electrical installation having at least one load and being powered between a neutral conductor and at least one phase conductor and including an earth link. A common-mode low-pass filter is connected in parallel between the neutral and each phase on one hand, and earth on the other hand.
Abstract: A magnetic sub-assembly for modular electrical equipment of the circuit-breaker type includes a yoke having a leg at least partially integrated inside the inner volume of an induction coil so that a range of axial dimensions of the coil is allowed by the yoke, and one end of the coil is oriented so that its attachment to a fixed contact also allows the range of axial dimensions.
Abstract: A mechanism for the rapid closure of electrical contacts on a modular electrical apparatus includes movable electrical contacts that pivot with respect to a rotatable contact support and are maintained in a rest position by springs. A manually actuated control lever imparts opposing rotary movements to the control lever and the movable contacts. A cam, driven by the control lever, and a finger attached to each movable contact move in paths that intersect when the movable contacts are separated from the fixed contacts. The cam and finger are locked during a portion of control lever rotation before it reaches a stable position wherein the fixed and movable contacts are closed. The contact support continues to travel while a contact spring accumulates energy, which is dissipated only when the cam and finger separate. During a final stage of motion of the control lever, the cam freely rotates relative to the control lever, with its range of motion being limited only by a stop element on the cam.
