| 20090184796 | Enclosed Insulator Assembly for High-Voltage Distribution Systems - An enclosed insulator assembly has a generally cylindrical polysiloxane body, a tubular Durethan® core with upper and lower terminals, Multilam™ contacts within the terminals, an arc-quenching tube, and a manually removable handle. Entrance holes in the body accommodate the coupling of external cables to the terminals. A threaded cylinder positioned on the handle's interior accommodates one of an interchangeable cutout fuse tube assembly and disconnect tube assembly and permits the assembly to be inserted into the core as the handle is positioned on the body. Both assemblies have top and bottom fittings with O-rings that prevent weather corrosion between the fittings and terminals. A grooved load interrupter is attached to the bottom fitting of the assemblies to suppress arcing when the assembly is pulled out from the body. | 07-23-2009 |
| 20100326960 | Vacuum Interrupter Switch For Power Distribution Systems - A current interrupting switch for power distribution systems comprising an outer case and a plurality of vacuum interrupter bottle switches positioned in the case. | 12-30-2010 |
| 20110253675 | Three Phase Vacuum Interrupter Switch for High Voltage Distribution Systems - A three-phase vacuum interrupter switch assembly for power distribution systems comprises an outer case having at least one window, a plurality of internal disconnect switch assemblies, and a plurality of vacuum interrupter bottle switch assemblies within the case. Each vacuum interrupter bottle switch is coupled in electrical series with a corresponding internal disconnect switch assembly. Because the open/closed state of a bottle switch is not directly observable owing to its sealed interior, a direct visible indication of the state of the three-phase vacuum interrupter switch assembly is provided by a visually detectable contact rod for each internal disconnect switch that is visible through the case window. To prevent potentially serious damage caused by arcing between the contacts of the internal disconnect switch, the internal disconnect switch is prevented from opening or closing when the bottle switches are closed. The case interior is preferably free of oil and/or SF | 10-20-2011 |
