Electrical distribution system including micro electro-mechanical switch (MEMS) devices

摘要

An electrical distribution system (40) includes at least one circuit breaker device having an electrical interruption system provided with an electrical pathway, at least one micro electro-mechanical switch (MEMS) device electrically coupled in the electrical pathway, at least one hybrid arcless limiting technology (HALT) connection, and at least one control connection. A HALT circuit (190) member is electrically coupled to HALT connection on the circuit breaker device and a controller is electrically coupled to the control connection on the circuit breaker device. The controller is configured and disposed to selectively connect the HALT circuit (190) member and the at least one circuit breaker device via the HALT connection to control electrical current flow through the at least one circuit breaker device.
