  • Publication number: 20170093136
    Abstract: A multi-mode circuit breaker pod having multiple electrically isolated sections mounted to a common frame. Each of the multiple electrically isolated sections is operable independent of the other sections, includes one or more circuit breakers, is couplable to one or more loads and one or more sources, and is configurable to operate in individual ones of a plurality of operating modes including a parallel system summing mode, a power distribution mode, and a redundant power distribution mode. The electrically isolated sections of the multi-mode circuit breaker pod can be interconnected to operate jointly in individual ones of a plurality of operating modes including a parallel system summing mode, a power distribution mode, and a redundant power distribution mode.

  • Patent number: 8648269
    Abstract: A electrically operated blocking device used to block the operation of electrical or mechanical equipment without using a system of deadbolt locks, keys, and electrically operated key traps. The electrically operated blocking device preferably includes a blocking shaft used to block the operation of electrical equipment such as, e.g., switches, circuit breakers and other similar electrical equipment, or mechanical equipment such as, e.g., valves, cams, gears, doors or any moving device or device operator, and preferably includes a keyless solenoid release unit (KSRU) used to control a plunger that locks the blocking shaft into place and unlocks the blocking shaft to allow the blocking shaft to move freely along its axis.
