Achieve Immediate Response in a Fault-Interrupting Device

These large latching solenoids with high latching force were designed for a manufacturer of high voltage power distribution equipment to disconnect power quickly to prevent equipment damage.

客户问题

A manufacturer of high voltage power distribution equipment needed to actuate a fault-interrupting device while switching functions in their high voltage equipment. This device would disconnect power if a fault could not be cleared immediately or maintenance needed to be performed.

In order to avoid equipment damage, the actuation solution needed to be durable with a high latching force to actuate immediately, allowing the power to disconnect quickly.

TLX 解决方案

We designed several large latching solenoids that have a high latching force ranging from 100-300 lbs. These heavy-duty solenoids used residual magnetism, not constant power, to hold the latched position. When the system detects a fault, a short pulse of power causes the solenoid to de-latch, activating the fault interrupter. Once maintenance is complete or the fault is cleared, another short pulse of opposite polarity causes the solenoid to re-latch. This solenoid is direct-acting and temperature stable with a fast response time.

Our Process

Step 1 / Initial Review

Our engineering team works directly with you to determine the viability of your program and identify the best solution based on your specifications.

Step 2 / Quote

Quotes include all costs related to your project - tooling, prototype, piece part, production and project specific costs.

Step 3 / Design Review & Prototypes

Our engineering team reviews the design with you and makes any adjustments needed. Prototypes are built according to design specifications for testing.

Step 4 / Testing

Prototypes are tested according to your specifications, with all relevant test data provided to you for evaluation.

Step 5 / APQP

DFMEA’s, PFMEA’s, control plans and process flow diagrams are started to drive the product intent design.

Step 6 / Pre-Production

Working drawings are developed for production. A second prototype build and a set of production parts are made from tooling and thoroughly tested.

Step 7 / PPAP/Production

The final design along with the PPAP (Production Part Approval Process) is developed and the new product enters production.

Step 8 / Ongoing Improvements

Our team collaborates with you to continue making improvements to the product to best meet your needs, increasing efficiency and reducing cost.
