ABSTRACT:
A remotely operated downhole switching apparatus, particularly adapted to selectively connect a downhole device such as a sensor circuit to a cable which supplies power to a downhole motor includes a switch for connecting the downhole device to a neutral node of the motor, a latch coil responsive to a latching signal carried by the cable for closing the switch, and a delatch coil connected to the cable through a frequency responsive circuit which is responsive to a delatching signal carried by the cable for passing current through the delatch coil. A diode connected to the delatch coil prevents current flow through the delatch coil in a direction which causes the switch to close. An AC signal may be employed for closing the switch, and a voltage pulse may be employed for opening the switch.
