Patent number: 6628184Abstract: A field configurable contactor is disclosed. The contactor preferably includes a plurality of spaces adapted to receive any number, up to its limit, of contact modules. Each contact module preferably includes a pair of contacts and a spring biased cam follower which opens and closes the contact pair when a cam profile of the contactor moves according to energization or de-energization of the contactor. The contact module can be either “normally open” or “normally closed” depending on its initial placement onto the contactor relative to the cam profile. A latch assembly in the contactor may hold the contactor mechanically during de-energization.Type: GrantFiled: November 20, 2000Date of Patent: September 30, 2003Assignee: General Electric CompanyInventors: Robert J.

Patent number: 6442011Abstract: A Hall effect sensor is transported to and away from a conductor to vary the sensitivity range of the sensor to current flow in the conductor. The device comprises a bracket supported on the conductor which holds a jack screw. At the lower end of the jack screw is a sensor block which holds the Hall effect sensor. The sensor block translates in a slide guide of the bracket, but is prevented from rotating. At the upper end of the jack screw is a knob for rotating the jack screw. Rotating the jack screw causes the sensor block to slide closer or farther from the conductor, which varies its sensitivity in measuring a magnetic field generated by a current in the conductor.Type: GrantFiled: May 8, 2000Date of Patent: August 27, 2002Assignee: General Electric CompanyInventors: Farshid Attarian, Joseph Criniti, Alberto A.

Patent number: 6406328Abstract: To allow access to a control/display module in an electronic circuit breaker, an adapter and harness are provided for remotely positioning the control/display module in a more accessible location, e.g., on the remote handle operator. An adapter plug and plate installs in place of the control/display module on the circuit breaker. The adapter plug provides connectors for a harness to extend to a mounting plate, which can be attached to the remote handle operator. The control/display module, which was removed from the circuit breaker, is installed in the mounting plate.Type: GrantFiled: May 8, 2000Date of Patent: June 18, 2002Assignee: General Electric CompanyInventors: Farshid Attarian, Joseph Criniti, Alberto A.

Patent number: 6326870Abstract: A device is provided for operating a circuit breaker handle. The device includes a body having a receiving area to receive and engage a portion of the circuit breaker handle. The body is fixedly secured to a shaft for movement between a first position and a second position. The body is caused to move by a forces from a first coil and a second coil. The first coil generates a first force in a first direction, and the second coil generates a second force in a second direction, wherein the second direction is opposite to the first direction. The first and second forces are transferred to the shaft for effectuating movement between the first and second positions.Type: GrantFiled: August 15, 2000Date of Patent: December 4, 2001Assignee: General Electric CompanyInventors: Javier I.

Patent number: 6178617Abstract: A method for assembling a modular current transformer (17) includes providing a first bobbin (40A) having a first aperture (32A) disposed therein and a second bobbin (40B) having a second aperture (32B) disposed therein. The first axial aperture (32A) is aligned with the second axial aperture (32B), and a xontinuous wire (21) is wrapped sround the first bobbin (40A) in a first direction. With the first and second axial apertures (32A, 32B) still aligned, the continuous wire (21) is then wrapped around the second bobbin (40B) in a second direction opposite the first direction. The first bobbin (40A) is then inverted by pivoting the first bobbin (40A) about a flexible tab (33) that connects the first and second bobbins (40A, 40B). A transformer core (22) is then disposed through the first and second axial apertures (32A, 32B). The windings on the first and second bobbins (32A, 32B) form the secondary windings (20A, 20B) for the current transformer (17).Type: GrantFiled: December 23, 1998Date of Patent: January 30, 2001Assignee: General Electric CompanyInventors: Javier I. Larranaga, Joseph Criniti, Alberto A. Figueroa

Patent number: 5892420Abstract: A compact current transformer is formed by arranging a pair of secondary windings on opposite sides of a single turn primary winding. A core is then wound about the primary winding and part of the secondary winding coils from a continuous roll of metal strap. The secondary windings are arranged on a pair of bobbins on opposite sides of the transformer core. A modular twin bobbin arrangement allows the secondary windings to be wound from a continuous source of transformer wire. The continuous wound core eliminates air gaps and improves magnetic transfer between the primary winding and the secondary winding. The continuous transformer wire eliminates the need for soldering or welding to connect between the two secondary windings.Type: GrantFiled: August 28, 1996Date of Patent: April 6, 1999Assignee: General Electric CompanyInventors: Javier I. Larranaga, Joseph Criniti, Alberto A. Figueroa
