  • Patent number: 7820090
    Abstract: The present invention is a toneable conduit that can transmit a signal and that can therefore be readily detected by toning equipment. In addition, the conduit of the invention can be readily coupled with other conduit to provide extended lengths of conduit. The toneable conduit includes an elongate polymeric tube having a wall with an interior surface, an exterior surface, and a predetermined wall thickness. A channel preferably extends longitudinally within the wall of the elongate polymeric tube and a stabilizing rib extends longitudinally along the interior surface of the wall of the elongate polymeric tube and is located radially inward from the channel. A continuous wire is coincident with the channel in the elongate polymeric tube and is preferably coated with a coating composition that prevents the wire from adhering to the polymer melt used to form the elongate polymeric tube.

  • Patent number: 7679887
    Abstract: A switching system includes switchgear that can be contacted via pin contacts. In at least one embodiment, the switching system is provided with pin contacts and mating pin contacts and at least one device(s) for the transmission of force onto the switchgear, thereby allowing to establish and interrupt contact to the switchgear even when only little space is available.

  • Publication number: 20090325423
    Abstract: At least one embodiment of the invention relates to an adapter for producing an electrically conductive connection between at least one main current path of a switching device and an evaluation unit for determining the state of a protective apparatus, which is connected upstream of the switching device. In order to make it possible to monitor a protective apparatus which is connected upstream of the switching device with minimum wiring complexity, at least one embodiment of the invention proposes an adapter for producing an electrically conductive connection between at least one main current path of a switching device and an evaluation unit for determining the state of a protective apparatus which is connected upstream of the switching device, wherein the adapter can be connected mechanically to the switching device and has contact interfaces for connection of the evaluation unit.

  • Patent number: 6833777
    Abstract: The aim of the invention is to protect an electromagnet switching device when a load is switched to a supply voltage. A current that flows through the load contact is monitored. The electric circuit is interrupted when the current exceeds a threshold value that is below the current carrying capacity of the load contact. The electric circuit is automatically closed again after the current which flows through the load contact has decreased.

  • Publication number: 20030052756
    Abstract: The aim of the invention is to protect an electromagnetic switching device when a load (6) is switched to a supply voltage (U). A current (IL) that flows through the load contact (2) is monitored. The electric circuit is interrupted when the current (IL) exceeds a threshold value that is below the current carrying capacity of the load contact (2). The electric circuit is automatically closed again after the current (IL) which flows through the load contact (2) has decreased.
