  • Patent number: 4880395
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a test system for a protective relay. The test system comprises a test switch (1) and a test-plug handle (2). The invention comprises supplementing the system with a contact function which is activated when the handle is inserted into the test switch so that, before the testing of the relays in the protective device is initiated, a signal function can be obtained to indicate that testing is in progress. The contact function is brought about by arranging, on the upper and/or lower side(s) of the test switch, two semi-protected, uninsulated and parallel contact pins/slide bars (4, 5) from the front edge to the rear edge of the test switch. At the rear edge contact parts to ordinary conductors are arranged in order to forward the contact function. The contact pins are mounted in a guide structure (10, 11) formed with an inner guide profile adapted to guide two resilient tongues (13, 14) on the test-plug handle.

  • Patent number: 4774509
    Abstract: A device for mechanically resetting, by means of a simple manipulation, an optional number of status indicators of the type consisting of an electromagnet with an iron core, a magnetizing winding and some form of permanently magnetized indicating disk capable of rotating through 180.degree.. The device comprises a rail made of a non-magnetic material and being formed so as to enable a desired number of indicators to be mounted side-by-side. The rail has such a profile as to enable a shuttle with a corresponding profile to be in engagement with and be guided by and slide on the rail in its longitudinal direction. The shuttle is provided with a permanent magnet as well as with a pole piece mounted so as to form, together with the core in the electromagnet of each indicator, a magnetic circuit when the shuttle is pushed over the respective indicator whereby the rotatable indicating disk is influenced and is reset to indicate the reset position.
