Introduction

Joshua Lamar Suttle is an inventor associated with Oakland, California. His patent work includes a circuit breaker design intended to provide multiple ways to interrupt electrical power.

Latest Patents

Suttle is credited with 1 patent: “Circuit breaker device with three-position actuator.” The invention describes a circuit breaker that controls electrical power between a source terminal and a load terminal. An actuator, such as a solenoid, operates mechanical switches. In its central position, the actuator allows power to flow. In a first position, it activates a trip mechanism that opens a switch in response to a fault. In a second position, it opens a spring-biased switch to disconnect the terminals without opening the first switch or activating the trip mechanism.
