Lockout relay device

A rotary lockout relay device configured to transition from a lockout position to a closed position only in response to one of a manual adjustment and a reset operation, the lockout relay device comprising:

• a housing;
• a linear electrical actuator disposed within the housing and at an angle with respect to the housing, the linear electrical actuator configured to generate a linear motion upon electrical activation;
• a rotary shaft coupled to the lockout mechanism;
• a lockout mechanism coupled to the rotary shaft and configured to:
• cause the lockout relay device to transition to the lockout position based on an action in response to an electrical condition;
• cause the lockout relay device to remain in the lockout position until the occurrence of a reset operation initiated by activation of the linear electrical actuator;
• and
• cause the lockout relay device to transition from the lockout position to the closed position in response to the reset operation based on the linear motion of the linear electrical actuator;
• wherein the lockout mechanism is in contact with the linear electrical actuator only in the lockout position and the linear motion of the linear electrical actuator is translated to a rotational motion of the rotary shaft due to the angle of the linear electrical actuator with respect to the housing.

A rotary lockout relay device configured to transition from a lockout position to a closed position in response to one of a manual adjustment and a reset operation, the lockout relay device comprising:

• a housing;
• a rotary shaft configured to rotate between a first rotational position corresponding to the closed position and a second rotational position corresponding to the lockout position;
• an electrical actuator disposed within the housing and at an angle with respect to the housing, the electrical actuator configured to generate a motion upon electrical activation;
• a lockout mechanism configured to:
• cause the lockout relay to transition to the lockout position based on an action in response to an electrical condition;
• cause the rotary shaft to rotate and to transition from the closed position to the second rotational position in response to the electrical condition;
• cause the lockout relay device to remain in the lockout position until the occurrence of a reset operation initiated by activation of the electrical actuator;
• cause the lockout relay device to transition from the lockout position to the closed position in response to the reset operation based on the motion of the electrical actuator;
• and
• cause the rotary shaft to rotate and to transition from the second rotational position to the closed position in response to the reset operation;
• wherein the lockout mechanism is in contact with the electrical actuator only in the lockout position and the motion of the electrical actuator is translated to a rotational motion of the rotary shaft due to the angle of the electrical actuator with respect to the housing.
