Patent number: 11070049Abstract: A mobile application includes a motive power circuit having a power storage device and an electrical load, where the power storage device and the electrical load are selectively electrically coupled through a power bus. The application includes a power distribution unit (PDU) electrically interposed between the power storage device and the electrical load, where the PDU includes a breaker/relay positioned on one of a high side and a low side of the power storage device. The breaker/relay includes a fixed contact and a moveable contact selectively electrically coupled to the fixed contact, where the moveable contact allows power flow through the power bus when electrically coupled to the fixed contact, and prevents power flow through the power bus when not electrically coupled to the fixed contact. The breaker/relay includes an armature coupled to the moveable contact, and capable to open or close the motive power circuit.Type: GrantFiled: April 10, 2019Date of Patent: July 20, 2021Assignee: Eaton Intelligent Power LimitedInventors: Martin Wayne Mensch, Brandon William Fisher, Robert Stephen Douglass, Austin Robert Zurface, Jeff Howard Urian, James David, Bharath Suda, Asheesh Soni, Karsten Gerving, Guido Völlmar, Gerd Schmitz, Christoph Bausch, Ute Molitor, Lutz Friedrichsen, Kai Schroeder, Julia Otte, Madeline Philipsohn, Norbert Roesner, Volker Lang, Johannes Meissner, Paolo D'amico, Jalpa Shah, Meng Wang, Damrongrit Piyabongkarn, Niles Stephen Ramseyer, Dennis Dukaric, Matt Haylock, Justin Keith Griffiths

Patent number: 6191377Abstract: An electromagnetic switching device, in particular a high capacity contactor, includes switch contacts which are arranged inside interrupter chambers formed by an interrupter chamber housing. Also provided is a deionizing device which is in the form of an arcing chamber and assigned to each interrupter chamber with a switch contact. The arcing chamber is formed by arcing plates which are assembled to form a packet. In addition, a cover is provided for closing the interrupter chambers on the upper side. The uppermost arcing plate which faces the cover is configured as a shielding plate of each arcing chamber and has at least one upward bent clip. Recesses which correspond with the clips of the arcing chambers are formed on the underside of the cover. The arcing chambers can be fastened to the cover to provide an interlocking connection by plugging the clips into the recesses.Type: GrantFiled: November 30, 1999Date of Patent: February 20, 2001Assignee: Moeller GmbHInventors: Norbert Roesner, Jakob Bolz, Helmut Kern
