Abstract: A modular platform electric trench heater is provided. The electric trench heater has a case having a first end and a second end, an electrical heating unit disposed in the case and designed to generate heat and create an upward convection current therethrough, a baffle dividing the case in a longitudinal direction into a first portion and a second portion, wherein the baffle is designed to direct the upward convection current from the first portion of the case to the second portion of the case, and a connecting unit provided in the form of a connecting plate and a plate fixing mechanism that couples the connecting plate to the first end of the case.

Abstract: A trench heater includes a case, a connecting unit, and a sub-assembly unit. The sub-assembly unit includes a baffle, a first junction panel, a second junction panel, and an electrical heating unit. The electrical heating unit includes a heating unit that comprises a heating element, a body, and a granular heat transfer medium. Multiple trench heaters may be connected end to end to create longer lengths via a modular platform.

Abstract: Fuse assemblies, systems and methods of manufacture include reinforcement materials and arc absorbent materials to provide overcurrent protection for 1500 VDC power systems without enlarging the body of the fuse.

Abstract: A fuse block assembly includes a nonconductive base formed with pedestal surfaces attachable to terminals from a location above the base, while providing a clearance between the body of a fuse and the middle portion of the base when a fuse is installed.

Abstract: A modular fuse holder includes a cover that is movable from a closed position to an open position relative to a base along two different paths of motion to prevent inadvertent opening or closing of the cover.

Abstract: A fuse holder includes a two piece base assembly allowing assembly and attachment of fuse clips and terminals without separately provided, external fasteners such as screws. Fuse rejection features may be built-in to the base assembly adjacent one of the fuse clips.

Abstract: An inline fuse holder assembly encloses a fuse assembly including a fuse, and first and second wire connectors at respective first and second longitudinal ends of the fuse assembly. The inline fuse holder assembly includes first and second components including respective first and second connectors. The first and second connectors include mateable, non-releasable connection components configured to connect the first and second components to one another and form a substantially waterproof, non-releasable connection upon connection. The first and second components together define an enclosure for enclosing an entirety of the fuse assembly when the first and second fuse holder components are connected to one another.

Abstract: A safety fuse holder assembly includes a retaining member. The retaining member is selectively configurable to retain the fuse in an interior space of a first fuse holder component such that the entirety of the fuse remains in the interior space when the first fuse holder component is removed from a second fuse holder component. The safety fuse holder may be IP 20 compliant.

Abstract: A door handle assembly which is compact in size for space-efficient packaging in a door of an automotive vehicle. The assembly includes a safety system for preventing inadvertent movement of the handle to an unlatched position during a side impact collision. A counterweight is mounted in the handle assembly which, during relative motions of parts induced by acceleration from a side impact, resists unlatching the handle. The counterweight is rotatably mounted on an axis different from an axis of the handle latch control mechanism, and is not fixedly attached to the handle mechanism.
