A vacuum interrupter including a cylindrical insulator, a first end cap sealed to one end of the insulator and a second end cap sealed to an opposite end of the insulator to provide a vacuum chamber. The vacuum interrupter further includes a fixed contact stem extending through the first end cap and having a contact positioned within the chamber, and a movable contact stem extending through the second end cap and having a contact portion positioned within the chamber. A first vapor shield is formed around the fixed contact stem so as to define a gap between the fixed contact and the insulator and a second vapor shield is formed around the movable contact so as to define a gap between the movable contact and the insulator.

H01H 33/664
H01H 33/662

A vacuum interrupter including a vacuum bottle, a fixed contact extending through one end of the vacuum bottle and a movable contact positioned within the vacuum bottle relative to the fixed contact so that a gap is defined between the fixed contact and the movable contact when the vacuum interrupter is open and the fixed contact and the movable contact are in contact with each other when the vacuum interrupter is closed. An insulated drive rod is rigidly coupled to the movable contact opposite to the fixed contact and a circular flexible conductor is coupled to the movable contact and flexes when the movable contact is moved by the drive rod. The flexible conductor can be, for example, a laminate structure including a plurality of stacked conductive laminates each having a plurality of spirals separated by gaps or a linear spring trampoline conductor.

H01F 7/16

An actuator assembly including a first actuator having a first magnetically actuated plunger and a first latching plate, where the first plunger is operable to be magnetically latched to the first latching plate. The actuator assembly further includes a second actuator coupled to and axially aligned with the first actuator. The second actuator includes a second magnetically actuated plunger, a second latching plate, a sleeve positioned within and extending from the second plunger and being rigidly secured to the first plunger, and a tolerance spring wrapped around the sleeve. The second plunger is operable to be magnetically latched to the second latching plate, where latching of the second plunger causes the tolerance spring to compress and provide additional latching force of the first plunger to the first latching plate.

A pole unit including a vacuum interrupter switch having a fixed contact extending into one end of a vacuum chamber and being electrically coupled to a first terminal, and a moving contact extending into an opposite end of the chamber. A sliding contact is rigidly coupled to the moving contact and slidably coupled to a second terminal. The pole unit also includes an electromagnetic actuator including a coil, a rod coupled to the sliding contact and a spring positioned against the rod. The pole unit further includes a transmitter coil and a receiver coil that are electromagnetically coupled, where the receiver coil is electrically coupled to the actuator and is electrically isolated from the transmitter coil. In this configuration, the interrupter switch, the actuator and the receiver coil are at a line potential and the transmitter coil is at ground potential.

A device for storing and transmitting information stored data cards preferably includes a case, a central processing unit (CPU), an operating system, a keypad, a screen display, a secure memory device and a transmission element. A PIN must be entered through the keyboard to operate the electronic card device. The PIN is stored in the secure memory device, Data cards may be entered through a card swipe, a global platform smart card device, a NUMI Key system and manual entry. The transmission element includes a programmable magnetic stripe. The programmable magnetic stripe is programmed to replicate the data on a magnetic stripe of a card. A programmable magnetic stripe is readable by a card transaction device. The operating system displays the cards retained in the memory device through the screen display. The electronic card device preferably includes a global platform smart card device for reading and writing NFC data. Inputs and presentments are performed primarily by end user self-provisioning.
