Problems solved by technology

This mechanical stress adversely affects the service life of the electrical switch
In extreme cases, this uncontrolled opening can adversely cause the movable contacts to spring back towards the corresponding fixed contacts, which can undesirably cause arcing between the movable and fixed contacts
[0013] It is now understood that it is difficult to ensure that the cut-off operation is performed in such a way as to meet the conflicting requirements: to achieve rapid opening of electrical switches, but to achieve these requirements, to reduce mechanical stress caused by the energy supplied to the various moving elements damage
[0014] Various prior art electrical switches focus only on achieving quick opening during the cut-off operation without providing any means to eliminate the mechanical damage resulting therefrom

Abstract

Regulated power supply assembly for use in electrical switch A regulated power supply assembly (106) suitable for use in an electrical switch (100) is disclosed. The regulated power supply assembly regulates an excitation current provided to an electromagnetic assembly (104) within the electrical switch. The regulated power supply assembly includes switching means (206), free-wheeling means (208), and controlling means (210). The switching means regulates an excitation current provided to an electromagnetic assembly. The free-wheeling means provide a freewheeling current flow path for the excitation current. The controlling means are configured for regulating the switching means and the free-wheeling means such as to regulate the excitation current during transition from the closed position to the open position.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention generally relates to an electrical switch for opening and closing a conductive path between a power source and an electrical load. In particular, the invention relates to a regulated power supply assembly suitable for operating such an electrical switch. Background technique [0002] In a conventional electrical switch, at least one movable contact is displaced relative to at least one pair of fixed contacts so as to establish or interrupt a conductive path between the source-side and load-side fixed contacts. The fixed contacts on the power supply side and the load side are respectively connected to the power supply and the electric load. A solenoid assembly is included to provide the actuation force to cause the movable contact to move on demand from the open position to the closed position during the make operation. In addition, a biasing mechanism is included to provide a biasing force for returning the movable contact from ...
