A high current switching device includes an electrical switch assembly and an input shaft operatively connected to the electrical switch assembly. An actuator assembly is attached to the input shaft and is configured to move the input shaft to operate the electrical switch assembly. The actuator assembly includes a mechanical advantage device operatively attached to the input shaft. An actuator is coupled to the mechanical advantage device such that movement of the actuator causes movement of the input shaft to operate the electrical switch assembly. The mechanical advantage device is configured to decrease an amount of force required to move the input shaft by the actuator.

Switching assembly with mechanical advantage device

An arc shield for electrical switching apparatuses is provided. The arc shield comprises a mounting base and a detachable barrier and includes a multi-point mounting system that eliminates the need for hardware and gloves when installing the detachable barrier on the mounting base. The mounting base is formed with a hinge tab and two locking tabs, and the detachable barrier is formed with a corresponding notch and two tab receiving openings formed with retention profile. The notch can be seated on the hinge tab in order to establish a hinge, and once the hinge is established, the locking tabs can be inserted through the tab receiving openings by bending the detachable barrier. Once the bending force is removed, the retention profiles of the locking tabs ensure that the detachable barrier cannot be removed from the mounting base unless a bending force is intentionally reapplied to the barrier.

Detachable barrier for electrical switching apparatus

The present disclosure relates to an interlock mechanism for automatically locking and unlocking a lock system of an electrical cabinet based on the state of bolted pressure contact switches housed within the electrical cabinet.

A electrical pole unit includes an actuator shaft that is rotatable about a switch axis to switch the pole unit between open and closed conditions. The actuator shaft is configured to mate coaxially with another actuator shaft in another pole unit to transmit rotation from one actuator shaft to another without a fastener to interconnect the shafts.

Actuating shaft structure for an electrical switch

An electrical switching apparatus includes a first pole unit, a second pole unit, and a busbar assembly interconnecting the first pole unit with the second pole unit in series or in parallel. A first mechanism is configured to switch the first pole unit between its open and closed conditions. A second mechanism is configured to switch the second pole unit between its open and closed conditions. An actuating assembly is configured to actuate the first and second mechanisms to switch the first and second pole units from their open conditions to their closed conditions simultaneously, and to switch the first and second pole units from their closed conditions to their open conditions simultaneously.

Electrical switching mechanism control apparatus

A safety switch includes a housing including first and second compartments that are separated by a barrier, a switch mechanism in the first compartment, one or more fuse holders in the second compartment, a first door connected to the housing and covering the first compartment, a second door connected to the housing, a handle connected to the switch mechanism, and a locking mechanism operatively connected to the handle. The handle is movable between an off position and an on position. The locking mechanism configured such that: the second door is locked in a closed position when the handle is in the on position; the second door is movable from the closed position to an open position to expose the second compartment when the handle is in the off position; and the handle is locked in the off position when the second door is in the open position.

Safety switch having interlocking handle and door

Busways and Information technology enclosures and related systems are provided. A busway for power distribution to equipment positioned in an information technology (IT) rack is provided, the busway including a plurality of openings on a first surface of the busway configured to receive a plurality of plug-in stabs associated with a plurality of bus plugs integrated with the IT rack, such that when the plurality of plug-in stabs are positioned in the plurality of openings in the busway, the IT rack is substantially flush with the first surface of the busway.
