Publication number: 20230411948Abstract: A circuit breaker with at least one disconnect mechanism and a smart monitoring system implements nuanced fault logic in order to minimize disruption to operation of the circuit breaker under a fault condition, and enables the circuit breaker to address nuisance or low severity faults separately from load switching. Under low severity or nuisance fault conditions, the smart monitoring system temporarily disconnects affected loads from the power supply rather than tripping the entire circuit breaker so that the loads can be reconnected to the power supply if the fault condition resolves within a short amount of time. In addition, the disconnect mechanism(s) that are used to temporarily disconnect the load(s) are configured to be re-closed after opening without requiring manual intervention. In high severity fault conditions, the smart monitoring system actuates tripping of the entire breaker, requiring manual re-closing of the circuit breaker.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 16, 2023Publication date: December 21, 2023Applicant: EATON INTELLIGENT POWER LIMITEDInventors: Sandy Omar Jimenez Gonzalez, Nicholas David Reynolds, Karthik Satyanarayanan, Harish Gode, Tejal Sheth

Publication number: 20220328997Abstract: A shutter assembly for a tamper-resistant electrical receptacle includes a shutter, a base clip, and a spring. The shutter is coupled at one end by the spring to the rear side of an individual outlet cover of the electrical receptacle, and two multi-sloped blocking mechanisms of the shutter block access to the live electrical terminals from the hot and neutral slots of the outlet cover when a plug is not inserted into the outlet. The shutter comprises a fulcrum that rests on the base clip, which allows one end of the shutter to interlock with divots formed in the rear side of the outlet cover and the other end of the shutter to interlock with the base clip in order to prevent access to the live electrical terminals when an object is inserted into only one of the hot or neutral slots of the individual outlet cover, or when an object is inserted into the outlet cover at a tilted angle.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 7, 2021Publication date: October 13, 2022Applicant: EATON INTELLIGENT POWER LIMITEDInventors: Karthik Satyanarayanan, Erik Jeffrey Gouhl, Raj Karpe, Fengguo Zhang, Nilesh Sawai

Patent number: 10014639Abstract: An electrical receptacle provides a plurality of outlets that are in different orientations. The electrical receptacle has a housing having a plurality of openings formed therein which are also referred to as contact openings, with each outlet having three contact openings. Each such outlet has a contact opening that is common with another outlet, meaning that a contact opening of one outlet and a contact opening of another outlet are actually an individual contact opening that is common to the two outlets and is thus shared therebetween. The electrical receptacle additionally includes a thermally protected metal oxide varistor (TMOV) that employs a thermal fuse and a metal oxide varistor (MOV) in order to protect electrical devices that are connected with the electrical receptacle from damage due to extended surges and spikes.Type: GrantFiled: February 24, 2017Date of Patent: July 3, 2018Assignee: EATON INTELLIGENT POWER LIMITEDInventors: Karthik Satyanarayanan, Nilesh Ankush Kadam
