A multiple relay arrangement having a plurality of relay sockets which are arranged next to each other and a plurality of relays. The relay sockets contain additional plug connections with which the relays are controlled by the system cabling. The system cabling contains a distribution section having cable sections and plug connectors and allows the plurality of relays to be controlled.

A current measuring transducer for measuring the current flowing through an electrical cable, with a ring probe, a sensor and an evaluation device for recording the current value obtained by the ring probe and the sensor, wherein the ring probe has an annular core, wherein the ring probe is divided into a basic ring section and at least one movable ring section, wherein the movable ring section defines an open and a closed state, wherein in the open state, a radial cable insert opening is opened, and wherein a circularly closed arrangement is created in the closed state of the movable ring section in which the annular core surrounds the cable, wherein the radial insertion of a cable extending axially relative to the current measuring transducer into the inside area of the ring probe transfers the ring section from one to the other state, and measurement of the current in the cable inserted into the inside area is made possible in the closed state.

Current transformer

Systems and methods for detachable attachment of an electrical conductor to current transformer housing are disclosed. An illustrative device may [comprise] includes a current transformer housing, a holding element which is passed through the current transformer housing, and an attachment element which passes through the holding element, with the attachment element and/or the holding element resting at least partially on the surface of the electrical conductor when the electrical conductor is attached to the apparatus, the attachment element being rotatable about its longitudinal axis for attaching or releasing the electrical conductor. Moreover, the holding element may be rotatable about its longitudinal axis such that, in a first position, the holding element can be moved along its longitudinal axis for attaching or releasing the electrical conductor and, in a second position, the holding element cannot be moved along its longitudinal axis.

Apparatus for detachable attachment of an electrical conductor to a current transformer housing

A device for detachably fastening a current conductor to a current transformer housing includes the current transformer housing, a retaining element that is guided through the current transformer housing, a fastening element that is guided through the retaining element, and a clamping element. The fastening element and/or the retaining element are seated against at least some regions of the surface of the current conductor when the current conductor is fastened to the current transformer housing. The fastening element can be rotated about the longitudinal axis thereof so as to fasten and/or detach the current conductor. The clamping element is arranged movably on the current transformer housing so that, in a first position, it allows a translatory displacement of the retaining element along the longitudinal axis. In a second position, the clamping element prevents the transtatory displacement of the retaining element along the longitudinal axis thereof.

Device for detachably fixing a current conductor to a current transformer housing

The invention relates to a device for detachably fastening a current conductor () to a current transformer housing () comprising a fastening element (), wherein the fastening element () can be guided such that the fastening element () at least partially contacts the surface of the current conductor () in a fastening state of the current conductor () on the current transformer housing (). The invention is characterized in that the fastening element () is implemented such that it performs a translatory displacement in the direction of the current conductor () when transitioning from an unfastened state to the fastened state of the current conductor () to the current transformer housing ().

An electronic expansion module which has at least one circuit board, that has a contact region with contacts for mechanical and electrical contact-making with mating contacts connected to the circuit board of the expansion module and a circuit board recess formed such that, with the expansion module inserted into an opening formed on a side of the housing of an electrical field device for use in industrial control, the circuit board of the expansion module does not have any conductive connection to the electrical field device except in the contact region so that reliable electrical isolation between the interior of the device and the user is ensured.

Electrical field device and expansion module for insertion into an electrical field device

An electrical field device for use in industrial control with a housing, with at least one input, at least one output and an electronic circuit with a microcontroller, a memory and a circuit board. The electrical field device is easily adapted to different functions and conditions of use in that an opening is formed on one side of the housing for insertion of an electronic expansion module which has at least one circuit board, and in that the circuit board has a contact region with contacts for mechanical and electrical contact-making with mating contacts connected to the circuit board of the expansion, module and a circuit board recess formed such that an inserted expansion module does not have any conductive connection to the field device except in the contact region so that reliable electrical isolation between the interior of the device and the user is ensured.

The object of the invention is to provide a slotted current acquisition coil according to the Rogowski principle in which the printed circuit board base of the measuring coil can be opened to insert an electrical conductor to be measured without having to interrupt the latter. To this end, the two printed circuit board segments linked together by a hinge are opened. Twisting a single-piece printed circuit board also opens the arrangement for inserting the conductor to be measured.
