Patent number: 12009169Abstract: A utilization unit of an electric switch includes an actuator module which includes actuators and power transmission apparatus to operate the electric switch, a power module which includes power supply means for the actuators of the actuator module, a control module which includes control means to control the power module, and data transmission means. The actuator module, the power module, and the control module constitute a modular structure, wherein the power module and the control module are detachably connected to each other and the actuator module so that the power module and the control module are both separately replaceable in the utilization unit.Type: GrantFiled: March 16, 2020Date of Patent: June 11, 2024Assignee: ABB Schweiz AGInventors: Aki Suutarinen, Matti Rajala, Raimo Sillanpää, Juri Fredlund, Markus Lönn, Marko Pylkäs, Tero Kentala

Patent number: 11062857Abstract: A switching device including a frame, a first fixed contact member having a first contact area, and a first movable contact member having a first contact arm provided with a contact area. The first movable contact member is adapted to pivot relative to the frame around a first pivoting axis between a first position and a second position. The switching device includes a spreader member that is adapted to provide a first intermediate position for the first movable contact member in which a projection of the contact area of the first contact arm overlaps at least partially with a projection of the first contact area on a switch plane perpendicular to the first pivoting axis while the contact area of the first contact arm is spaced apart from the first contact area.Type: GrantFiled: April 14, 2020Date of Patent: July 13, 2021Assignee: ABB Schweiz AGInventors: Andre Nordman, Benjamin Lehmann, Juha-Matti Rajala

Patent number: 9645188Abstract: An arrangement for monitoring a condition of a direct current voltage circuit including first and second supply poles for forming an operating voltage. A first fuse is connected to the first supply pole, and has a supply pole and an output pole. A second fuse is connected to the second supply pole, and has a supply pole and an output pole. The arrangement can form one or several reference voltages (UREFa,UREFb,UREFc), can form a first measurement voltage (U1a,U1b,U1c,U1d) between the output pole of the first fuse and the supply pole of the second fuse, and can form a second measurement voltage (U1a,U1b,U1c,U1d) between the output pole of the second fuse and the supply pole of the first or the second fuse. One or several reference voltages and measurement voltages can be compared to estimate a condition of the first and second fuse, and a comparison result can be indicated.Type: GrantFiled: October 21, 2013Date of Patent: May 9, 2017Assignee: ABB OyInventors: Marko Takala, Matti Rajala, Marko Pylkäs

Patent number: 7735655Abstract: A screen and a method for screening pulp. The screen comprises a body, a screen cylinder arranged inside the body for screening the pulp, and an accept chamber and an accept aggregate connected with it for removing the accepted pulp fraction from the screen. The accept chamber is arranged between the screening surface of the screen cylinder and the screen body and it is arranged to expand in the radial direction of the screen cylinder outwards from the screen cylinder continuously in the longitudinal direction of the screen cylinder towards the line which is parallel to the radius of the screen cylinder and corresponds to the cross-section of the body and on which the accept aggregate is arranged.Type: GrantFiled: December 7, 2005Date of Patent: June 15, 2010Assignee: Metso Paper, Inc.Inventor: Veli-Matti Rajala
