Abstract
The invention refers to a low-cost fuse switch module that comprises a pair of fixed contacts and a rotary contact rotatable about a rotation axis located in-between the fixed contacts. The rotary contact is rotatable between a closed position in which it is connected with the fixed contacts to enable current circulation, and an open position in which the rotary contact is electrically isolated from the pair of fixed contacts . An overcurrent protection fuse is provided for limiting maximum current circulation through the contacts in the closed position, and the fuse is rotatable about the axis and it is arranged to operate as the rotary contact of the switch, such as by rotating the fuse about the rotation axis, the switch reciprocally transit from the closed to the open position.
Claims14
A fuse switch module comprising:
- a pair of fixed contacts and a rotary contact, wherein the rotary contact is rotatable about a rotation axis that extends through a point located between the fixed contacts, wherein the rotary contact is rotatable between a closed position, in which the rotary contact is electrically connected to both of the fixed contacts to enable current circulation between the fixed contacts, and an open position, in which the rotary contact is electrically isolated from the pair of fixed contacts to prevent current circulation between the fixed contacts;
- and;
- an overcurrent protection fuse configured to limit a maximum current circulation through the fixed and rotary contacts when the rotary contact is in the closed position, wherein the overcurrent protection fuse is rotatable about the rotation axis and is configured to operate as the rotary contact, such that rotating the overcurrent protection fuse about the rotation axis reciprocally transits the rotary contact between the closed position and to the open position.
