MUMBAI, India, June 13 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202311083900 A) filed by Schneider Electric India Private Limited, New Delhi, on Dec. 8, 2023, for 'flexible terminal for with-drawable circuit breaker.'
Inventor(s) include Sukumar, Subash; S, Arunkalingaraj; Asodekar, Atul Vinayak; and Kapu, Nagarjun.
The application for the patent was published on June 13, under issue no. 24/2025.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present disclosure relates to an electrical switchgear that includes cradle contacts (102) securely affixed to a cradle support (104), the cradle contacts (102) establish electrical connections with external conductors. A circuit breaker having a top terminal (110-1) and a bottom terminal (110-2) is securely attached to a connector pin (116-1, 116-2). Compression springs (118-1, 118-2) accommodated within the rear housing of the associated terminals exert pressure on the contacts of the top and bottom terminal to ensure secure electrical connections between the contacts, wherein the top terminals and the bottom terminals establish contact with the cradle contact (102), the contact spring force applied to the top terminal differs from that of the bottom terminals, resulting in a reduced contact pressure spring force for the top terminal, significantly diminishing the force needed to operate the breaker and subsequently decreasing racking torque."
