  • Patent number: 5534832
    Abstract: A switch having at least one power switching pole includes a contact bridge cooperating with fixed contacts and adapted to be maneuvered either by mobile parts of a solenoid or by a tripping mechanism. The contact bridge is rotatable and the mobile parts of the solenoid operate the contact bridge through the intermediary of a transmission mechanism.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: July 9, 1996
    Assignee: Telemecanique
    Inventors: Pierre Duchemin, Gilles Baurand, Dominique Leglaye
  • Patent number: 5088000
    Abstract: An electronic thermal relay is disclosed which can be associated with a multiphase electric load for generating a pre-alarm and/or an order for cutting off the power supply to the load in the case of a current overload in at least one phase or an imbalance between phase currents.With each phase is associated a thermal element with a resistive heating element through which the phase current flows, a resistive sensor transmitting to a signal processing circuit a signal representative of the heating and a thermal memory mass. The heating element is thermally coupled to the sensor and to the memory mass by a coupling body whose thermal inertia is less than that of the memory mass.

  • Patent number: 4709205
    Abstract: An inductive current measuring sensor is provided comprising several coils connected electrically in series and disposed in a polygonal contour, so as to surround the conductor on which it is desired to measure the current. Each coil comprises windings disposed on an insulating bobbin and connection elements. The bobbins are disposed on the face of a printed circuit having a central recess through which the conductor may pass. The printed circuit carries conducting tracks interconnecting the fixing points of the connection elements together and to external connection members.

  • Patent number: 4480194
    Abstract: With this circuit, a current may be caused to flow through a contact (K) controlling the voltage supply of an electronic control circuit (24), of sufficient intensity for the reliability of the contact to be good, without the current flowing in the control circuit (24) being too high and this independently of the supply voltage (terminals E, 44) applied to the supply terminals of the user circuit (U). For this, the control circuit (24) is fed with power when the contact (K) is closed, through said contact (K), a first diode (31) and a resistor (32) connected in series, whereas a piloting circuit (11), which is an integrated time delay or memory circuit associated with said user circuit (U), is then supplied through said contact (K) and a second diode (26). When contact (K) is open, said piloting circuit (11) is fed through a third diode (29) and a Zener diode (30), the second diode (26) then preventing the control circuit (24) from being supplied with power.
