In accordance with one exemplary embodiment of the disclosure, a capo configured for use with a stringed instrument includes a frame, a mounting member, and a plurality of individually selectable toggle members. The mounting member is connected to the frame and configured to secure the frame to the musical instrument. The plurality of individually selectable toggle members are retained by the frame. A plurality of feet are provided on the toggle members, and the feet have differing widths.

A reconfigurable communications module for power distribution and control apparatus is taught. Briefly stated, a communication module is rack insertable into a voltage regulator controller and has disposed therein a microprocessor board for communicating with host power distribution control apparatus and which also communicates with a transceiver board. The transceiver board may be one of several types of boards which provide a physical link with other equipment. Such boards may, for example, include a fiber optic, an RF based board, or a wire based board which is interchangeable in the communications module thereby allowing reconfiguration of the communication module to different media.

Reconfigurable communications module

A low voltage AC electric power monitoring system includes a processor which samples the current and circuit breaker system includes a processor which samples each of the current components at seventeen samples per cycle to obtain current samples representing a single period of the AC power signal. The processor samples the voltage component at different points in the voltage cycle over several cycles to obtain voltage samples representing a single period of the AC power signal.

Distributed current and voltage sampling function for an electric power

A low voltage electric power monitoring and circuit breaker system includes two processors. The first processor activates the circuit breaker when an overcurrent condition is detected and the second processor monitors the current sensed by the first processor and logs overcurrent values which arm the breaker as well as overcurrent values existing at the time the breaker is tripped.

Fault recording system for an electric power trip unit

A low voltage electric power monitoring and circuit breaker system includes two processors. The first processor activates the circuit breaker when an overcurrent condition is detected and the second processor monitors the current sensed by the first processor and activates the circuit breaker for overcurrent conditions which should have caused the first processor to activate the breaker. If a current of this magnitude is detected, the second processor activates the circuit breaker as a backup protection for the first circuit breaker.
