- Company Profile:
A mechanism which engages the drawout cradle assembly and draws the circuit breaker into or out of the switchboard. The drawout mechanism includes the drawout mechanism shaft, drawout levering device arms and a drawout position indicator.
Industry:Electrical equipment
An assembly of a circuit breaker and a supporting structure (cradle) so constructed that the circuit breaker is supported and can be moved to either the main circuit connected or disconnected position without removing connections or mounting supports.
Industry:Electrical equipment
See main disconnecting contacts and secondary disconnecting contacts.
Industry:Electrical equipment
The metering of power or current demand seen by a circuit breaker. It is calculated over a fixed or sliding time window that can be programmed from five to 60 minutes. Depending on the contract signed with the power supplier, specific programming makes it possible to avoid or minimize the cost of overrunning the subscribed power. Maximum demand values are systematically stored and time stamped.
Industry:Electrical equipment
An instrument to measure current, encircling a conductor carrying the current to be measured or controlled.
Industry:Electrical equipment
The current-carrying conductors within a circuit breaker between, and including, line and load terminations.
Industry:Electrical equipment
A compartment containing all connectors, shields, adapters, barriers, spreaders, shutters, keys and interlocking devices for a drawout circuit breaker.
Industry:Electrical equipment
An external module which allows addressing of the cradle and retention of the address when the drawout circuit breaker is in the disconnected position and which is used to transmit information about the position of the circuit breaker in the cradle to the communication network.
Industry:Electrical equipment
A load where the maximum current on the circuit is expected to continue.
Industry:Electrical equipment
The designated RMS alternating or direct current in amperes which a device or assembly will carry continuously in free air without tripping or exceeding temperature limits.
