Patent number: 11445585Abstract: An illuminated electrical load control is provided for controlling electrical power to a light-emitting diode (LED) lighting load. The load control includes a wall-box mounted housing, and an electrical switch assembly disposed at least partially within the housing. The switch assembly includes an actuator coupled to transition the switch assembly between an ON state, where AC current flows to the LED lighting load, and an OFF state, where current is interrupted from flowing to the LED lighting load. Further, the load control includes an illumination assembly with an indicator light to illuminate, at least in part, the load control when the switch assembly is in OFF state, and a current-limiting circuit connected across terminals of the switch assembly, and configured to limit leakage current through to the LED lighting load to below an activation current of the LED lighting load when the switch assembly is in the OFF state.Type: GrantFiled: July 29, 2020Date of Patent: September 13, 2022Assignee: LEVITON MANUFACTURING COMPANY, INC.Inventors: Aleksandr Aronov, Walter Ancipiuk, Melissa Cinelli, Timothy Lindh

Publication number: 20140049869Abstract: A circuit interrupter, such as a GFCI or AFCI product, is provided having a suppression and protection circuit and circuit interrupter circuitry. In one configuration, a semiconductor device and a voltage clamping device or surge protector, such as a metal oxide varistor (MOV), are utilized in the circuit interrupter for handling transient surges and overvoltage conditions. The semiconductor device, such as a SIDCA and a TVS diode, is connected to a solenoid or trip coil of the circuit interrupter circuitry to limit the amount of current through the semiconductor device. The MOV is placed between phase and neutral conductors of the circuit interrupter circuitry.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 30, 2013Publication date: February 20, 2014Applicant: Leviton Manufacturing Co., Inc.Inventors: Aleksandr Aronov, Michael Ostrovsky, John LiBretto

Patent number: 8526144Abstract: There is a fault circuit interrupter comprising at least one grounded neutral sensor and at least one test circuit configured to test the grounded neutral sensor. A further embodiment can also include at least one fault circuit which is configured to detect a current sent from the grounded neutral sensor. The device can also include a line side phase line, a line side neutral line, and a test line coupled to the line side neutral line and extending from a first region on the line side neutral line to a second region on the line side neutral line, with the grounded neutral sensor being positioned between the first region and the second region on the line side neutral line. This test circuit can comprise a switch, such as a manually operatable switch or it can comprise any one of solid state circuitry, a transistor, and/or a silicon controlled rectifier.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2011Date of Patent: September 3, 2013Assignee: Leviton Manufacturing Company, Inc.Inventors: Adam Kevelos, Michael Ostrovsky, Aleksandr Aronov, Jr.
