Title: The Innovative Contributions of Norman Davis
Introduction
Norman Davis is a notable inventor based in Irwin, PA (US). He has made significant contributions to the field of electrical engineering, particularly in the area of circuit breaker technology. His innovative approach has led to the development of a unique patent that enhances the operation of medium voltage spring powered circuit breakers.
Latest Patents
Norman Davis holds a patent for a "Method and apparatus for testing spring powered switches." This invention analyzes the operation of a medium voltage spring powered circuit breaker by determining the linear position of a selected driven part of the circuit breaker operating mechanism. When the charged closing springs are released, the selected driven part, such as a vacuum interrupter stem or push rod, moves to a new linear position. Linkages are provided to the driven parts, and LVDT sensors engage each of the linkages to determine their linear positions. A processing unit collects operation data for the operating mechanism when the charged closing springs are released, producing linear movement of the driven parts. The operation data includes a plurality of linear positions of the driven parts, and a microprocessor-based routine and interface outputs this operation data.
