  • Publication number: 20230274895
    Abstract: A latch system for an electrical equipment enclosure includes a latch arm receiver adapted to be connected to an associated enclosure door. A latch arm assembly is adapted to be connected in operative engagement with an associated circuit breaker. The latch arm assembly includes a chassis and a latch arm that moves relative to the chassis between: (i) a first arm position; (ii) a second arm position; and (iii) an intermediate arm position between the first arm position and the second arm position. A latch arm spring biases the latch arm toward its first arm position. A handle is rotatably connected to the chassis and operatively connected to the toggle of the circuit breaker. The handle is movable to and between an ON handle position, a TRIP handle position, an OFF handle position, and a RESET handle position. The handle is operatively connected to the latch arm such that the latch arm is positioned in the second arm position when the handle is located in said RESET handle position.

  • Patent number: 9373986
    Abstract: An electric motor assembly that eliminates external component-to-component assembly seams between coupled packaging hardware that would inhibit the creation and maintenance of, for example, IP 66 and IP 67 seals while utilizing inexpensive existing motor shaft rear bearing supports and also creating additional internal electronic packaging space. The disclosure provides an assembly with a continuous (e.g., no interruptions or seams) surface area to support IP sealing of the entire packaging-to-package interface between a primary motor frame (e.g., housing) and externally attached secondary/ancillary electronic hardware.
