MUMBAI, India, May 30 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202311080003 A) filed by Schneider Electric India Private Limited, New Delhi, on Nov. 24, 2023, for 'single housing construction with staggered termination in transfer switches.'

Inventor(s) include Nayak, Rohan Rajesh; and Donthula, Vineeth.

The application for the patent was published on May 30, under issue no. 22/2025.

According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present disclosure relates to a low-voltage transfer switch (100) that includes a set of switch disconnectors (102-1, 102-2) that disconnects a load from a power source and a backup source. A set of contact poles (104-1, 104-2) establish or interrupt the flow of electrical current in the circuit. A mechanism (106) actuates either set of contacts of the set of switch disconnectors for closing or opening the physical contacts and a terminal (110) accommodated within the set of contact poles (104-1, 104-2) positioned at an offset distance from the central plane, thereby bisecting the set of contact poles (104-1, 104-2) into two equal segments, and ensuring that the terminal (110) is staggered in relation to the set of switch disconnectors (102-1, 102-2), thereby providing clear access to all termination points thus eliminating any difficulty during installation."
