    FIELD OF THE INVENTION
    [001] This invention relates to a switching contactor for electrical energy and in particular, a single pole or bipolar contactor capable of switching currents of more than 80 amps at mains voltage.
    [002] This invention also relates to the types of high current switching contactors used in modern electricity meters, called "smart meters", to perform a prepayment or safe disconnect function at normal domestic supply (network) voltages , for example, 100 V AC to 240 V AC. It has a particular application for electrical contactors having a double blade contact arrangement as described in US Patent 7,833,034. KNOWLEDGE OF THE INVENTION
    [003] Many contactors of this type are capable of switching rated current to say 100 Amps or 200 Amps, for a large number of switching load cycles, satisfactorily, switching being carried out by suitable silver alloy contacts containing certain additives, which prevent welding. The switching blades are configured to be easily actuated for the switching function, with minimal self-heating in the involved currents.
    [004] Most meter specifications not only stipulate satisfactory rated current durability switching - without contact welds - but also demand that in moderate short circuit failure conditions they must also not weld, and must open on the next pulse actuated by actuator. Under “dead-short” conditions much more related, the switching contacts can weld, but must remain intact, not explode or emit any dangerous molten material during the “short dead end” duration, until the breakdown of protective spindles, or drop of switches circuit and disconnect the mains supply to the load, safely. This shortening duration can be for a maximum of 6 cycles of the network supply.
    [005] US Patent No. US 7,833,034 introduced the basic configuration of the “double blade” switching comprising a pair of parallel movable spring copper blades or arms of a particular thickness, width and active length, with a small gap defined between them. The fixed ends of the blades are terminated together by rivets, screws, or semi-scissors, for a mobile blade carrier terminal, with movable contacts attached to the inner faces of the free ends, which close naturally in fixed contacts attached to the other fixed blade carrier terminal of the switching.
    [006] In the basic mode, the contactor uses the double blade switching construction, in which the switch has a pair of movable arms (also known as blades), which are perforated by strip and preformed so that they close in the fixed contacts with a defined "contact pressure" force - to achieve a relatively low switching resistance - and the open ends are formed outwardly with a tilt portion. The arms extend parallel to each other and separated by a small gap so that in high current situations the currents through the arms create magnetic attraction forces that propel the arms towards each other and increase the force applied to the fixed contacts arranged between the distal ends of the arms. This force of attraction displaces the repulsive force that drives the contacts away, and is also due to the high current that passes through the contacts. This arrangement is shown in Figs. 1 to 3. Figs. 1 & 2 show a single pole contactor 10 with the cover removed to show jobs. Fig. 3 is a schematic view of the arms 30 of a switch. Each arm has a strip of copper spring having a first end 34 attached to a first terminal 24, known as the mobile terminal as it is connected to the mobile arms. A second terminal 22, known as the fixed terminal has fixed contacts 23. The distal end 36 of each arm is fitted with a movable contact 25. Each arm 30 has a tilt portion or section 38 to create a displacement between the ends of the arms such that fixed contacts can be accommodated between mobile contacts. The two arms extend parallel to each other except for the tilt portion. The moving contacts are arranged to align with the fixed contacts and in the relaxed state of the arms, the moving contacts are supported against the fixed contacts with a predetermined contact force. The arms can move or flex within the design plane around the connection to the first terminal. A rib 39 is formed in the arms to stiffen the arms against excessive bending.
    [007] The basic parallel “double blade” configuration, as used in a 100 Amps rated current contactor, creates dynamic magnetic blade forces in excess of the contact repulsion forces during short circuit failures. The blade contacts and geometries have been optimized to avoid welding under the specified operating conditions. This basic 100 Amp switch uses 4 contacts; two mobile and two fixed, with 50 Amps on each parallel blade. This basic arrangement was not able to withstand much higher short-circuit and rated currents, as the blade geometries and current split parameters limited the balance of the blade forces and particularly the larger contact repulsion forces, result in life span very shortened, and serious contact welding problems during major short circuit failures.
    [008] US Patent No. US 7,833,034 also introduced the split blade concept, allowing a 200 Amp rated current contactor capable of balancing dynamic magnetic blade forces and contact repulsion forces during short circuit failures, geometries and contacts being optimized to avoid welding under specific conditions.
    [009] To equally divide the current division - and to balance the repulsive contact forces and the magnetic pull forces of the blade - each adjacent parallel "double blade" has been subdivided into longitudinal semi-blades, with a moving contact at each end free, corresponding to the respective fixed contacts, then constituting 4 semi-blades in parallel with 8 contacts per switch, or 16 in total for the two-phase disconnect contactor. This lower current split in each semi-blade significantly reduces contact repulsion forces.
    [0010] Thus at 200 Amps, each semi-blade will be carrying only 50 Amps, reducing the burden per semi-blade when switched, minimizing self-heating, and avoiding welding in higher short-circuit and nominal currents. Importantly, all semi-blade chains flow in the same direction, so maximizing the magnetic attraction forces between semi-blades in the work gap, especially at high current, to keep contacts close together.
    [0011] The existing 100 Amp switch designs the use of "parallel blades" of simple parallel copper spring are very limited by the geometries and the gap between, each blade in the defined "double blade" being able to generate certain magnetic attraction forces at high divided current, with respect to each other, balanced and acting against the forces of contact repulsion - both being proportional to the square of the current - in order to ensure that the contacts remain closed during short circuit failures. It is very difficult to achieve this balanced ratio of forces exactly right for a particular configuration. So the split blade version was optimized for use at 200 Amps, but it used longer blades and 16 contacts in total.
    [0012] The split double blade configuration provided a good solution for the 200 Amp contactor, but at a price since silver contacts are expensive and split blades take up space. There is also a market desire for 100 Amp and 200 Amp contactors to be made to save space. So there is a desire to reconfigure the simpler basic parallel “double blade” 100 Amp switch configuration and geometry, so that it was able to operate at 200 Amps higher rated currents with better short circuit capacity, in accordance with various national requirements such as the ANSI Cl2.1 disconnect meter specification.
    [0013] Certain embodiments of the present invention provide a simpler, smaller, reduced cost switch that uses a new “double blade” switch arrangement, which not only uses less copper foil material, but requires only 8 switch contacts by bipolar contactor instead of the current 16 required in the present project for a contactor rated at 200 Amps nominal current. Silver alloy contacts represent a significant proportion of all high current contactor cost drops, so a reduction in the number of contacts required for a particular switching function is a benefit of increased cost savings. Improvement teachings for the 200 Amp contactor can be applied to contactors rated at 100 Amps or less, to reduce their size. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
    [0030] Four important improvement concepts (the improvements) will now be described to illustrate the present invention. Each improvement will be discussed with reference to one or more preferred modalities offered by way of example to describe the invention. While each concept can be combined with the other concepts, certain concepts can be applied directly to contactors of the prior art of different construction.
    [0031] Fig. 4 is a schematic view of a pair of double-blade movable arms 30 of an electrical contactor, according to the preferred embodiment of the present invention. Each arm is similar to the prior art arms of Fig. 3 except that the stiffening ribs 39 are replaced by iron plates, in the form of steel laminations 40, closely attached to the outer surface of the arm. The steel lamination 40 extends over most of the length of the arm 30 and preferably extends over the inclined portion 38 and the distal end 36 of the arm. In Fig. 4, the fixed terminal 22 and the fixed contacts 23 are shown arranged between the movable contacts 25 with the arms 30 in a relaxed state such that the contacts are engaged, known as in the closed position. As before, the two arms 30 face each other through the small gap 33 for a majority of length. Steel laminations allow contact arms to be shorter for the same current rating and also reduce switching resistance. The steel laminations 40 are fixed to the arms 30 by rivet, preferably using turned rivets 41 formed in the steel lamination and passing through the arms.
    [0032] This design allows the construction of a lower cost switch, with shorter narrower copper “double blade”, which may have a lower nominal resistance and self-heating, but which is also capable of gearing forces of attraction much larger magnets, to overcome the inevitably greater contact repulsion forces in the largest split currents, using fewer contacts.
    [0033] With the standard longest parallel copper “double blade” geometry, there is a magnetic attraction force defined between them in a high split short-circuit fault current, the strong individual magnetic fields being in close proximity to each other , by the gap, increasing with each other, creating some deflection (inward) in both, and closing the related gap at the same time. If the short-circuit fault current is too high - such as during AC surges - there is a danger that the blades may deflect too far, touch and possibly connect the disconnected contacts, which will momentarily open the switch. and destroy the “double blade” effect, with potentially catastrophic explosive consequences.
    [0034] Fig. 4a illustrates a variation of the blades shown in Fig. 4. While the improved double blade construction is designed to avoid the use of split blades, for contactors with a very high current rating, above 200 Amps or for very compact contactors, an improved double blade switch arrangement of steel can be useful, especially if the number of longitudinal sections can be reduced using steel laminations. Then, in Fig. 4a is an example of a split-steel double-blade switch improved from a contactor. The switch has a pair of double blade arms 30 that extend from a mobile terminal 24 to which they are riveted (only one visible), to a fixed terminal 22 having fixed contacts 23 as opposed to mobile contacts 25 fixed at the ends distal arms. Each arm is divided into a plurality of longitudinal sections (two shown) by a slot 43 extending from a distal end towards the fixed end. Each longitudinal section has a steel lamination 40 attached to an external surface, preferably by using a turned rivet 41.
    [0035] Fig. 5 illustrates a two-pole contactor 10 with a cover removed. The contactor has two sets of switch 12 on both sides of a solenoid 16. A hoist 18 is attached to a piston of the solenoid and a wedge 50 and two pins 52 for each switch. The wedge is arranged between the arms and arranged to separate the arms when driven into the gap 33. The two pins 52 are arranged on opposite sides of the pair of arms in the region of the tilt portion 38. In the closed position as shown in Fig. 5 , the pins press against the outer surface of the tilt portion 38 of the arms, both directly and indirectly through the steel laminations, to urge the contacts into the closed position. When the solenoid moves the hoist to the open position, to the left as shown, the pins disengage the arms allowing the contacts to open when the wedge enters the gap 33 by moving the distal ends of the arms away by opening the contacts. In Fig. 5, the contacts are hidden by the hoist 18, however the opening and closing of the contacts can be seen in Figs. 6 & 7.
    [0036] Solenoid 16 may be a self-locking solenoid, preferably a magnetic self-locking solenoid that is pulse operated and spring polarized to the closed position. Thus in operation, the solenoid is pulsed to change state, to lock in the open position or to unlock to the closed position. This saves energy as the solenoid is only momentarily energized to change positions.
    [0037] The narrower and shorter improved “double blade” steel has the advantage that the nominal switch resistance is typically half, while the magnetic attraction forces between the movable arms are increased by at least a factor of five, compared to the longer standard blades of the prior art.
    [0038] The plug-in or “band” switch terminals for the standard two-pole meter contactor, are usually machined for 2.38 mm thick copper sheet or strip, to plug the arched base and meter jaws. These machined forms of copper generate considerable residual heat. Since the strength of the improved steel switch is typically half, it is possible to replace these copper terminals with brass terminals of the same thickness, achieving an additional cost savings of approximately 40%, due to the price difference between copper and brass. Fig. 5 illustrates a two-pole plug-in meter contactor that incorporates the narrower and shorter improved “double blades” of steel.
    [0039] The two-pole contactor has a symmetrical design of the two steel switches improved with the solenoid centrally positioned 16, activating a hoist 18 attached to the solenoid piston, having two wedges 50 to open the blade assemblies. Terminal “strips” 22, 24 allow the two-pole contactor to be plugged into the meter socket. By manufacturing the brass terminal strips instead of copper, the cost of the contactor is further reduced. The solenoid is preferably of a long narrow construction, arranged between the two sets of blades, to allow the contactor to be relatively small in width, allowing the contactor to fit between the arched jaws of the meter socket so that the standard wall box and the meter configuration can be used.
    [0040] In the two-pole contactor shown in Fig. 5, with smaller copper spring “double blades”, the presence of the stiffened steel laminations 40 attached intimately to the copper arms 30 removed the flexibility seen in the standard blade design, which promptly deflected inwards under high short circuit failure conditions, giving some contact cleaning which reduced the melt group bonding welding.
    [0041] There is a concern that under high short circuit failure conditions, stiffened arms such as the improved steel double blades described above, may vibrate and oscillate briefly under the attraction of massive blade and contact repulsion forces being balanced in the strong magnetic fields. Similarly, during switching of rated current, there is a concern that rigid blades can generate some unwanted contact oscillation, potentially causing adherent welds, worsening the life span and contact delamination.
    [0042] In order to eradicate these concerns, the distal or contact ends 36 of the arms 30 of the double blades are formed with a flexible tongue 44 formed on one side as shown in Figs. 6 to 8. As illustrated in Figs. 5 and 6, the piston of solenoid 16 is attached to a hoist 18 with wedge-shaped extensions (wedges 50) that are positioned between the distal ends offset 36 of the blade pairs, so when the solenoid is actuated, the blades and contacts are opened by a wedge being moved to the gap 33 between the arms and pressing against the inner blade faces of the inclination portion 38.
    [0043] The hoist 18 also has pairs of "pins" 52 that sit mounted on the external sides of the sloping blade faces. The pins 52 are spaced from the arms 30 when the hoist 18 is in the open position with the wedge 50 keeping the arms apart. When the hoist is in the closed position, in which a wedge is disengaged from the arms, allowing the arms to close on the contacts, then closing the switch, the pins 52 engage with and deflect the tabs 44 inwards, securely fixing the contacts avoid oscillation. In addition, during high “short-dead” failure conditions and high “realization” short circuits, any vibration due to the attraction of massive blade and contact repulsion forces being balanced, the pin 52 and tongue 44 fixation reaction avoids oscillation and spurious contact opening.
    [0044] The tongues 44 are formed by making a longitudinal groove 46 at a distal end 36 of each arm, extending through the sloping portion 38 of the blade face. The tongue does not contact the fixed contact and therefore does not carry current. While the tongue is shown extending to the end of the arm, since the pins only contact the tilt surface, the tongue can be appropriately modified and adjusted to provide a desired level of additional contact pressure. The tongue is not covered by steel plate 40.
    [0045] The flexible tongue concept, while shown as part of the improved steel double blade construction, can be applied to single double blade switches to improve contact pressure and then reduce to normal contact resistance and improve resistance to contact oscillation during contact closure.
    [0046] In contactors described above, which use multiple contacts (up to 16 in total) to even divide current into high short-circuit or rated current fault levels, it is important that the contacts used have a silver alloy thickness top ”, to withstand the arduous tasks of“ switching ”and“ charging ”current involved. The bimetal contact of the typical top layer thickness of a diameter of 8 mm is in the range of 0.6 to 1.0 mm, which equals considerable cost, especially when 16 contacts are used in a two-pole contactor. 200 Amp as used in prior art designs using a split double blade construction.
    [0047] One method to reduce the total silver alloy cost is to control the thickness of the top layer on some contacts of each switch, by introducing a special switching concept referred to as “lead / delay”, which is very well for the way that the double blade arms are actually adjusted, arranged and actuated during the pulse switching function. This is even more important in the improved short-blade steel switch proposed above, which uses only 8 contacts instead of 16. The contacts will be sized to suit life durability requirements.
    [0048] With the principle of "leadership / delay", as illustrated in Figs. 9 to 13, blades 30 and contacts 23, 24 chosen in each set are adjusted and arranged in such a way that during the closing of the contacts a defined but critical time delay is introduced between the contacts that first closes (the “leadership” contacts ”60) taking the weight of the switching load current, and the delayed contacts (the“ delay ”contacts 62) that close a fraction later in time. This always ensures that the delay contacts only carry charge current, keeping it relatively clean and hardly eroded. Thus, the delay contacts 62 can have a much thinner top layer silver alloy thickness compared to the lead contacts.
    [0049] On the other hand, the lead contacts 60 that carry weight of the switching load current (especially if the load is inductive) require a thicker top layer than the delay contacts, to improve the durability of life and reduce contact delamination. So when blade adjustment, storage and pulse activation is optimized for lead / delay, considerable savings can be made with the rationalized contacts as described.
    [0050] It is possible, for example, to optimize a lead / delay contact set for a relatively thick top layer in the switching lead contacts, and much thinner top layers in the load delay contact, making a considerable reduction in the silver alloy content. The load delay contacts can also be smaller in diameter.
    [0051] In a simple arrangement, a wedge 50 that opens the arms 30 of the double blade switch can be adjusted slightly offset such that the wedge does not close the contacts or move the arms equally. In particular, wedge 50 will move one arm 30 slightly in front of the other arm causing one arm, the lead arm, to close the switch (the mobile contact engages the fixed contact) slightly before the other arm, the delay arm, to close . Fig. 9 illustrates the switching mechanism of contactor 10. Figs. 10 to 12 are partial views illustrating a set of switch contacts 23, 25, which move from the open position to the partially closed position and to the closed position, on an enlarged scale. In Fig. 10, the contacts are opened with the wedge 50 that holds the arms 30 apart, representing an open switch. In Fig. 11, the wedge 50 has been moved to an intermediate position between the open and closed positions. In this position, a set of contacts, the lead set 60 has already made contact and so the switch is closed. However, the other set of contacts, the delay set 62 is still kept separate, so current cannot flow through the delay contacts 62. In Fig. 12, wedge 50 has been moved to the closed position, releasing both arms 30 allowing both contacts, lead contacts 60, and delay contacts 62 to close in this way by dividing the current flow through the switch.
    [0052] In a two-pole contactor, each switch can have a lead / delay contact arrangement as described above. Alternatively, since the two switches are effectively in series with the load between the supply terminals, one switch can be designated as the switching switch and the other switch as the charging switch. In this case the charging switch closes just before the switching switch so that it closes under a no-current condition and the switching switch closes fully charged conditions. Thus in terms of timing, the leadership and delay functions are reversed, but as before, a set of contacts can be of lower current rating or using cheaper material, saving costs in the manufacture of the contactor. In this two-pole contactor arrangement, the timing of the switching operation can again be arranged by properly positioning the wedges that separate the arms, such that on release, one arm or switch will close before the other.
    [0053] Fig. 18 is a schematic diagram of a two-pole contactor with lead contacts defined on different switches. The contactor 10 has a first switch 12 and a second switch 12 '. The first switch has a first terminal 22 that carries a fixed contact 23, a second terminal 24 connected to a first movable arm 30 that carries a mobile contact 25 at a remote end from the connection to the second terminal. The fixed contact 23 and the movable contact 25 form a first pair of switch contacts 60. The second switch 12 'is similarly constructed. The second switch has a third terminal 22 ’that carries a fixed contact 23’, a fourth terminal 24 ’connected to a second movable arm 30’ that carries a mobile contact 25 ’at a remote end from the connection to the fourth terminal. The fixed contact 23 'and the movable contact 25' form a second pair of switch contacts 62. A solenoid 16 moves a hoist 18 between first and second positions. A first wedge 50 integral with the hoist moves the first arm 30 to open and close the first switch. A second 50 'wedge integral with the hoist moves the second arm 30' to open and close the second switch. The wedges are arranged, preferably being moved, such that when the contactor closes, which is going from an open state to a closed state, the first pair of contact switches 60 closes after the second pair of contact switches close. That is, there is a delay in closing the first switch compared to the second switch. In this configuration the contacts of the second switch take on the function of the lead contacts and handle the switching load while contacts 23, 25 of the first switch 12 deal only with charging or load current and thus can be smaller. The contactor is shown with each switch having two arms, but the concept works with switches having one or more arms.
    [0054] There is a distinct cost advantage which incorporates a set of "double blade" well adjusted and arranged with "lead / delay" contacts as described above. If not properly actuated by pulse, even at rated current, some leadership contacts can bond by welding during the operational life, since with the erosion that occurs, some points on the surface of the switched silver alloy can become rich in silver, which promotes more randomly the adhesion welding. This is especially a problem if the pulse drive is not strong enough to break the adhesion welds that occur with switching oscillation. Depending on when this may occur during the operational life, an adhesion weld may occur during a moderate short circuit failure for the same reasons.
    [0055] An arrangement to improve this adhesion welding problem is to use a top layer of silver alloy that is rich in tungsten. In particular, a special silver alloy top layer with tungsten oxide additive inclusions in the silver matrix, particularly for the lead switching contact. The addition of tungsten oxide additive to the matrix has several important advantages and effects: 1) it creates a more homogeneous “top layer” structure, making the erosion surface more even, but it does not create many areas rich in silver, prone to adhesion welding, 2) raises the temperature of the molten mixture at the switching point, which discourages adhesion welding, and 3) as the tungsten oxide additive is a considerable proportion of the total silver mass of the “top layer” ”, For a given thickness, there is also a small cost advantage.
    [0056] All of the improvements described above can be used to create a lower cost disconnect meter contactor, which would normally be mounted within a meter liner. This improved design is smaller than all existing disconnect meter contacts, allowing it to be mounted not only within the meter casing conventionally, but also to be moved out of the meter envelope interface, even if still attached to the side. from within the meter base housing, or integrated and nested between and within the arched jaws of the wall box's meter terminal block. The arched jaws are the terminals of the meter socket that allow the network meter to be simply plugged into the terminal block for easy installation and replacement. In this way, the arched jaws are arranged according to a fixed conventional design to allow compatibility between brands and models.
    [0057] The schematic diagrams of Figs. 13 & 14 shows a typical plug-in meter arrangement with the widest disconnecting contactor 10 mounted inside meter housing 70, plugged into the arched jaws of the meter socket in a “wall box” to securely connect the meter through its terminal strips it covers the supply and load cables mounted on the rear of the wall box.
    [0058] The existing larger disconnect meter contactor mounted within the plug-in meter liner as shown in Fig. 13 is too large to be mounted and attached below the meter base molding, while the centers of the meter “strips” 74 they must not be compatible with the arched jaw centers in the wall box.
    [0059] To fit between the ranges, the disconnect meter contactor should be narrower, similar to the improved steel contactor described above, for normal meter range plugability in the arched wall box jaws, as shown in the schematic diagrams of the Figs. 15 & 16.
    [0060] The minor disconnect meter contactor 10 capable of being produced using the improvements described above, is capable of being mounted completely outside of the meter housing 74, both on the back of the meter housing between the meter ranges as shown in Figs. 15 & 16 or between the arched jaws of the meter socket of the typical wall box, as shown in Fig. 17, which actually switches the arched jaw connection.
    [0061] In Figs. 15 & 16, contactor 10 is directly mounted on the back of meter housing 74 between terminal strips 74 of the meter. In fact, two contactor terminals will be connected to two of the bands. The meter housing 74 has four legs 76 that are arranged close to the respective strips, but outside the space defined by the strips. The legs 76 provide some protection for the strips during transport and when installed on the legs they sit against the wall box or the meter socket to ensure the correct positioning of the meter.
    [0062] The two-pole contactor in Fig. 17 is similar to the contactor shown in Fig. 5 and described here earlier. The contactor 10 has a symmetrical design with two switches 12 having improved steel blade assemblies, and a centrally positioned solenoid 16 that drives a hoist 18 to open the blade assemblies. Solenoid 16 is preferably of a long narrow construction, disposed between the two sets of blades, to allow the contactor to be relatively small in width, as necessary to fit between the arched gauge jaws so that the standard wall box and meter configuration can be used. Terminals 22, 24, of the contactor are connected between an arched jaw on the outlet side of the meter and the load connection. This allows the meter strips to be plugged into the arched jaws in the conventional manner.
    [0063] A wall box 80 fitted with a disconnect contactor 10 is shown in Fig. 17. The wall box has a meter socket arrangement for receiving tracks from a standard meter housing. The meter socket includes a plug terminal known as arched jaws 82, 83. A supply cable 84 and a charge cable 86 are shown entering the wall box and connecting to cable fasteners 90 associated with the meter socket. The supply is a 2-phase supply with phase wires A1, A2 and neutral or ground E wiring. Ground wires are shown passing under the contactor where they are joined. The supply phase wiring A1, A2 connect the arched jaws 82 in which meter ranges must be plugged in to connect the supply directly to the meter. The meter strips representing the meter output plugged into arched jaws 83 that are isolated from the cable connectors to which the load cable is connected. Instead, these isolated arcuate jaws connect to the terminals (here to the mobile terminals 24) of the contactor 10 and the other terminals (here to the fixed terminals 22) of the contactor are connected to the cable connectors 92 to which the load phase cabling AU, A2 'are connected. Thus, the supply is fed directly to the meter so that the electronic meter equipment always has energy available and the load is supplied from the meter through the disconnect contactor 10, allowing the load to be isolated without turning off the power to the meter.
    [0064] One advantage of mounting the disconnect meter contactor outside the meter and inside the wall box, between the arched jaws, is that it would be possible to control the switched “disconnected” arched jaw connection, remotely and independently, from the circuit of meter control itself, using telemetry or so-called “power line carrier” data transmission techniques, which are very well developed. It also allows for a simple arrangement to provide an independent remote connection / disconnection installation using a simple plug-in network meter without a build contactor, which is typically smaller and cheaper.
    [0065] This "integrated" arrangement allows the separation of the meter and the disconnect contactor so that repair or replacement of defective parts can be carried out quickly and easily without replacing additional parts that are still in good working order. It also allows a remotely controlled “integrated” disconnect contactor in every wall box installation for remote control of the domestic load connection.
