  • Publication number: 20190234001
    Abstract: A laundry treating appliance with a treating chamber for receiving laundry for treating and a liquid supply system fluidly coupled to the treating chamber. The liquid supply system includes a water supply system and a dispensing system. The dispensing system includes a faucet, a support structure, one or more drawers, and one or more dispenser outlets for providing treating liquid and treating chemistries. Components of the dispensing system can be activated, e.g. for pretreating laundry items, for use as a utility sink, or during an automatic cycle of operation.

  • Publication number: 20160124048
    Abstract: A portable diagnostic apparatus for performing diagnostic testing on a circuit breaker includes a number of sensor devices structured to generate a number of sensed parameter signals relating to operation of the circuit breaker during an operational sequence, a number of auxiliary input connectors structured to receive a number of auxiliary data signals from the circuit breaker, the number of auxiliary data signals relating to and being generated in response to the operation of the circuit breaker during the operational sequence, and control and diagnostic circuitry. The control and diagnostic circuitry is structured to control operation of the portable diagnostic apparatus, receive the number of sensed parameter signals and the number of auxiliary data signals, and generate a time signature based on the number of sensed parameter signals and the number of auxiliary data signals.

  • Publication number: 20150364277
    Abstract: A guard assembly is for an electrical enclosure. The electrical enclosure includes a housing, an electrical switching apparatus, and a handle. The guard assembly includes: a shaft including a first end and a second end, the first end being structured to be coupled to the handle, the second end being structured to be coupled to the electrical switching apparatus; and a sleeve assembly structured to move between a retracted position and an extended position, the sleeve assembly including a sleeve member, the sleeve member including: a base located proximate the first end of the shaft, and a cover portion extending from the base toward the second end of the shaft, the shaft extending at least partially through the cover portion. Responsive to the sleeve assembly moving from the retracted position toward the extended position, the sleeve member moves away from the second end of the shaft.

  • Publication number: 20150332883
    Abstract: A linear actuator assembly is for an electrical switching apparatus, such as a multi-pole circuit breaker. The circuit breaker includes a plurality of pole units each having separable contacts. The linear actuator assembly includes a base unit comprising a housing, and a plurality of linear actuators. Each linear actuator is mounted within the housing in alignment with a corresponding one of the pole units. Each linear actuator actuates the separable contacts of the corresponding one of the pole units. A controller is adapted to control actuation of the linear actuators.
