MOTORIZED SHUTTER ASSEMBLY In one aspect, a shutter assembly (100) includes a shutter frame (112A, 112B) and a plurality of louvers (114) supported by the frame. The shutter assembly (100) also includes a louver drive assembly (146A, 146B) and a motor (140) positioned within the frame. The motor (140) is configured to rotationally drive a drive shaft (150A, 150B) extending within the frame. Additionally, the shutter assembly (100) includes a clutch assembly (160A, 160B) rotationally coupled between the drive shaft (150A, 150B) and the louver drive assembly (146A, 146B). The clutch assembly (160A, 160B) is configured to disengage or decouple the drive shaft (150A, 150B) from the louver drive assembly (146A, 146B) when a torque transmitted through the clutch assembly (160A, 160B) exceeds a given torque threshold.
