摘要： A circuit breaker including a trip unit interlock. The trip unit interlock provides a trip unit having a plug connectable with a mating plug which is slidable with respect to the circuit breaker. The trip unit engages a pair of pins mounted to the circuit breaker when the trip unit is in its operating position. The pins are oriented to prevent separation of the plug from the receptacle during circuit breaker tripping. Since it is undesirable to insert a trip unit into a circuit breaker where the trip unit is not compatible with the circuit breaker, the pins and openings in the trip unit are configured such that they will not mate if the trip unit is not appropriate for the circuit breaker. When the trip unit is in its operating position, the trip unit holds an interlock lever for the contact operating mechanism of the circuit breaker in a position where the contact operating mechanism may close the contacts and hold the contacts closed when the circuit breaker is in its ON state.

摘要： A method and an extended rotary operating mechanism for a circuit breaker having a movable operating handle coupled to a shaft, and electrical contacts, the extended rotary operating mechanism comprising a handle operator defining a socket. A blocking plate mounted in the socket, with the blocking plate including a blocking shape. A shaft adapter is coupled to the blocking plate and the shaft. If the electrical contacts of the circuit breaker are welded closed and a torque is applied to the operator handle, the blocking shape prevents the handle operator from being locked in an “OFF” position independently of the operating handle position, by covering a locking hole. The shaft adapter may include one of an extended socket and a recessed socket configured to engage the shaft.

摘要： A mechanism is provided for moving a circuit breaker (12) with respect to a circuit breaker connecting apparatus (14) so as to connect or disconnect the circuit breaker from the circuit breaker connecting apparatus. The mechanism includes a draw bracket assembly (29) having a draw bracket (30) constructed and arranged to be mounted to the circuit breaker connecting apparatus (14) so as to be generally adjacent to a side of the circuit breaker connecting apparatus. A guide engaging member (36) is mounted for generally vertical movement with respect to the draw bracket (30). The guide engaging member (30) has a slot structure (42) therein having surfaces constructed and arranged to receive and engage a guide (26) associated with the circuit breaker (12) for moving the circuit breaker with respect to the circuit breaker connecting apparatus (14). A drive member (55) is provided and has a movable element (56). The drive member (55) is constructed and arranged to be actuated so as to cause movement of the movable element (56). A motion transmitting structure (54) is operatively associated with the movable member (56) and the guide engaging member (30) such that movement of the movable element (56) causes the motion transmitting structure (54) to move thereby causing the guide engaging member (30) to move between an operational range of motion to engage or disengage the circuit breaker (12) from the circuit breaker connecting apparatus (14). The movable element (56) is constructed and arranged to disengage from the drive member (55) or disengage from the motion transmitting structure (54) outside of the operational range of motion.
