Patent ID: 10510472

Abstract:
The present application relates to a coil actuator for low and medium voltage applications, which comprises a electromagnet operatively associated with a movable plunger, a power & control unit electrically connected with the electromagnet and first and second input terminals (T1, T2) operatively connected with the power & control unit, wherein an input voltage (VIN) is applied between said first and second input terminals during the operation of the coil actuator. The coil actuator further comprise a third input terminal (T3) operatively connected with the power & control unit, the third input, terminal being adapted to be in a first operating connection (A), which correspondences to normal control conditions (NDC) for the operation of the electromagnet, or in a second operating condition (B), which corresponds to overriding control conditions (ODC) for the operation of said electromagnet. The power & control unit is adapted to control the operation of the electromagnet according to the normal control conditions or the overriding control conditions depending on the operating condition (A, B) of the third input terminal.
