Abstract:
A device for interrupting and protecting a load supply circuit against ground faults, comprising: an interruption unit which has input terminals for connection to a load supply circuit, and at least one fixed contact and one moving contact which are operatively connected to actuation means for opening/closing the power supply circuit; a residual-current protection unit, operatively associated with the interruption unit and comprising a current sensor which is suitable to detect the presence of a residual current, and a control unit which is operatively associated with the sensor and with the actuation means and is suitable to check whether the detected residual current is higher than a preset limit and to cause, in this case, the intervention of the actuation means; the particularity of which resides in the fact that load supply conductors are directly connected to output terminals of the interruption unit and that the current sensor is arranged directly on the conductors.
Abstract:
An accessory device for protection against permanent overvoltages in a low voltage power distribution line. The accessory device is aimed at coupling to a RCCB, which comprises:
a couple of a electrical contacts including a fixed contact and a movable contact, said movable contact being uncoupled from said fixed contact, during an opening operation of said RCCB; and sensor means, suitable to generate one or more sensing signals, which are indicative of the presence of an imbalance current between the phase and/or neutral conductors of said power distribution line; and release means, which are electrically coupled to said sensor means, said release means being operatively connected to said movable contact in order to uncouple said movable contact from said fixed contact upon activation by said sensor means.
The accessory device, comprises first electronic means, suitable to generate an electrical intervention signal, when the voltage value of the power distribution line exceeds a first preset threshold value. The electrical intervention signal is suitable to determine an opening operation of the RCCB, so as to provoke the interruption of the power distribution line.

Abstract:
A frame member for electrical distribution cabinets, whose particularity consists of the fact that it has a substantially triangular transverse cross-section and that it has two ribs (9,10), which are arranged longitudinally along the extension of the frame member and are suitable to allow the engagement of a finishing element (15) for finishing the frame member.
Abstract:
A method for determining the position of the rotor of a synchronous alternating-current permanent-magnet machine, its particularity consisting of the fact that it comprises the steps that consist in:
injecting in the machine a high-frequency voltage superimposed on the voltage delivered by the machine control system; measuring the current of the motor and extracting a current that is linked to the injected voltage; obtaining from the injected voltage and from the corresponding current the electrical angle θ suitable to identify the position of the rotor.
Abstract:
