Publication number: 20120280771Abstract: A reversible unit (20) has a pair of interlock plates (21, 22) detachably connected to operation indication pieces (4a, 4b) of a pair of electromagnetic contactors (1a, 1b) and moving in the same direction as the moving direction of the operation indication pieces, a lock piece (23) connecting with the pair of interlock plates (21, 22), a first normally-closed contact (24), and a second normally-closed contact (25). In a closing operation of one of the electromagnetic contactors (1a), the lock piece (23) moves one of the interlock plates (21) and prohibits the movement of the other interlock plate (22). The first normally-closed contact (24) is connected in series in a power supply circuit to an exciting coil (6b) of the other electromagnetic contactor (1b). One of the interlock plates (21) has a first opening operation engagement portion (34) releasing the first normally-closed contact (24) when the interlock plate (21) moves.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 13, 2010Publication date: November 8, 2012Applicant: FUJI ELECTRIC FA COMPONENTS & SYSTEMS CO., LTD.Inventors: Kouetsu Takaya, Koji Okubo, Yasuhiro Naka, Kenji Suzuki

Patent number: 8289111Abstract: The electromagnetic contactor enables a reliable return to a pole open position without increasing the spring force of a return spring. In an electromagnetic contactor, an electromagnetic device having an exciting coil and a contact mechanism having a return spring are disposed in parallel, and the electromagnetic device and contact mechanism are linked by a drive lever. The electromagnetic device has a polarized electromagnet having a magnetic circuit that includes a permanent magnet generating a suction force that moves the contact mechanism to a pole open position side when the exciting coil is not energized. The drive lever is fixed to either one of the electromagnetic device or contact mechanism and contacts with the other with no gap at least when the contact mechanism is moved to the pole open position side. The return force of the contact mechanism is covered by the suction force of the permanent magnet.Type: GrantFiled: June 14, 2010Date of Patent: October 16, 2012Assignee: Fuji Electric Fa Components & Systems Co., Ltd.Inventors: Yasuhiro Naka, Toshikatsu Ohgami, Koji Okubo, Kouetsu Takaya, Kenji Suzuki

Publication number: 20120139672Abstract: An extinction cover (5) is mounted on a case (4) thereby sealing an extinction chamber (S). This extinction cover has an engaging-force-increased portion (5c1) which strengthens the force of engagement with the case, and an engaging-force-decreased portion (5c2) which weakens the force of engagement with the case. In response to an increase in internal pressure in the extinction chamber due to arc gas generation, the engaging-force-decreased portion establishes disengagement of the case and provides a gap (27) with the case, for linking the extinction chamber to external air, and the engaging-force-increased portion maintains engagement with the case.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 14, 2010Publication date: June 7, 2012Applicant: FUJI ELECTRIC FA COMPONENTS & SYSTEMS CO., LTDInventors: Kouetsu Takaya, Koji Okubo, Yasuhiro Naka, Kenji Suzuki
