First Claim
Patent Images
1. A circuit breaking system, comprising:
- a power circuit whose voltage is greater than 600 volts;
at least a current detection device in the power circuit where the current detection device comprises a current reduction unit providing a reduced output current;
at least a circuit breaking device in the power circuit electrically connected to the current detection device for selectively opening the power circuit;
a linking device in the vicinity of the circuit breaking device; and
at least an actuation device electrically connected to the current detection device where the actuation device engages the circuit breaking device to open the power circuit through the linking device when the output current from the current reduction unit exceeds a preset value of the actuation device;
wherein the actuation device comprises a heat sensing element which causes the actuation device to engage the linking device when accumulated heat results in a change reaching a threshold.

Abstract
The circuit breaking system contains a power circuit whose voltage is greater than 600 volts, at least a circuit breaking device, at least a current detection device, a current reduction unit, at least an actuation device, and a linking device. The circuit breaking system is applicable to a high or ultra-high voltage power circuit, and the power circuit is interrupted through purely mechanical means without additional electricity provision. Even when there are major disasters that existing protection means fails, the present invention can still function and provides a trip free, ultimate self-protection mechanism so that a power system can be readily reset.
