144 SHORTAGE VOLTAGE TRIP DEVICE OF MOLDED CASE CIRCUIT BREAKER US13726373 2012-12-24 US20130169387A1 2013-07-04 Seung Jin HAM
Provided is a shortage voltage trip device of a molded case circuit breaker. In the molded case circuit breaker, driving current applied into a trip driving part is reduced in proportion to reduction of a power applied into a circuit. When the voltage applied into the circuit is greater than a rated voltage, the trip driving part is stopped, and an operation of a trip driving mechanism is restricted by a trip lever. When the voltage applied into the circuit is less than the rated voltage, the trip driving part is operated, and the restriction of the trip driving mechanism is released by the trip lever rotated by being linked with the operation of the trip driving part. Thus, the circuit may be more simply switched, and operation reliability of a product may be improved. Also, the product may have a more simplified structure.

146 Method and apparatus for protecting power systems from extraordinary electromagnetic pulses US12725304 2010-03-16 US08300378B2 2012-10-30 Curtis A. Birnbach
One form of the invention provides a method and apparatus for preventing an extraordinary electromagnetic pulse from reaching and rendering inoperative an electrical component of an electrical power system, wherein the component is located in a conductive path of the system that receives the pulse. The method and apparatus comprises the steps or means for detecting the presence of the pulse in the conductive path prior to the pulse reaching and rendering inoperative the electrical component. The pulse is diverted around the electrical component with a low inductance, high current capacity circuit relative to the electrical component before the pulse can reach and render the electrical component inoperative. The foregoing invention may beneficially utilize a high-speed current shunt comprising a flat conductive metal strap having a defined current-measuring region, a tapered parallel-plate transmission-line matching transformer attached to the current-measuring region and an output via a coaxial cable.
