Latest Patents
Puccinelli holds a patent for a "Current-limiting circuit breaker having a selective solid state trip unit." This invention features a pair of separable contacts and a selective solid state trip unit. The trip unit includes an actuator that works in conjunction with a latch mechanism to actuate the contacts to a positive open position when an overcurrent condition occurs. Additionally, the movable contact can be moved by electrodynamic repulsion towards the open position when the fault current exceeds a predetermined threshold, effectively limiting the current. The tripping control device incorporates an electronic counter that counts the successive opening and closing cycles of the contacts, allowing for tripping after a specified number of cycles. The trip unit also includes a first time delay tripping circuit and a second instantaneous tripping circuit, ensuring either instantaneous tripping or tripping by counting up to a preselected number of cycles.
