| 发明名称 | Dimmer switch having dimmer actuator operable for actuating an air-gap switch | ||
| 摘要 | A dimmer switch includes an air-gap switch for coupling to a power source, a power semiconductor switch electronically controlling power to a load connected in series with the air-gap switch, a dimmer module connected to the power semiconductor switch for coupling to the load to deliver an adjustable level of power to the load, and a dimmer actuator. The dimmer actuator is movable between an operational position and a disconnected position wherein the dimmer actuator is configured to act as a single control mechanism for selectively engaging either the dimmer module to adjust the level of power delivered to the load when in the operational position or the air-gap switch when in the disconnected position. | ||

| 主权项 | 1. An electrical dimmer switch comprising: an air-gap switch for coupling to a power source; a power semiconductor switch connected in series with said air-gap switch, said power semiconductor switch electronically controlling power to a load; a dimmer module, connected to said power semiconductor switch, for coupling to the load to deliver an adjustable level of power to the load; and a dimmer actuator movable between an operational position and a disconnected position wherein said dimmer actuator is configured to act as a single control mechanism for selectively engaging either said dimmer module to adjust the level of power delivered to the load when in said operational position or said air-gap switch when in said disconnected position. | ||
