  • Publication number: 20230064811
    Abstract: A modular family of electrical switching relays that utilize interchangeable mechanical override knobs or blank fillers, combined with enclosures capable of containing two or more independently operable relays; where each independent operating relay can selectively be constructed to either have a mechanical override knob or to have a blank filler thus resulting in a broad number of product permutations from a minimum number of unique components that are required to build those permutations. An electromechanical relay with rotary manual on and off override control where the manual on and off control consists of three distinct positions for (1) forcing/maintaining the relay on, (2) forcing/maintaining the relay off, and (3) allowing the relay to automatically turn on and off or to be remotely turned on and off with an electrical signal.

  • Patent number: 11523528
    Abstract: A flexible electrical system distribution, switching, and protection solution having two or more autonomous electrical switching devices and optionally adding circuit protection and manual switching in one self-contained device. A printed circuit board assembly is configured to operate two or more electrical switch functions to act from a remote signal input or autonomously, independently or simultaneously. The printed circuit board can be assembled into a housing where multiple independent circuits on the printed circuit board assembly can be permanently electrically connected to each other through electrical conductors thus reducing the number of independent circuits within the assembly. The assembly further consists of an electrically isolative housing and terminal studs and retaining nuts capable to receiving electrical cable ring terminals.

  • Patent number: 9305729
    Abstract: A normal relay emulator is described. The normal relay emulator may include a trigger circuit configured to detect a condition on a first power rail, the first power rail having a first voltage supply level. A boost converter electrically coupled to the first power rail and configured to boost the first voltage supply level to a second, higher, voltage supply level is provided. A bi-stable relay having a first terminal and a second terminal and an actuator electrically coupled to the boost converter and communicatively coupled to the trigger circuit is also provided. The actuator may be configured to energize the bi-stable relay using the second voltage supply level such that electrical contact between the first terminal and the second terminal changes between a first state and a second state based on the trigger circuit detecting the condition.
