摘要:
A set of circuit interrupters and electrical enclosures that are configured to permit an electrical enclosure having a current rating to have connected therewith a circuit interrupter having a current carrying rating no greater than the current rating. However, a current interrupter having a current carrying rating less than the current rating of the electrical enclosure potentially may be connected therewith. Such electrical interruption equipment employs threaded studs on bus bars that are of varying sizes and/or are separated by varying distances in order to resist an electrical enclosure having a current rating from being electrically connected with a circuit interrupter having a current carrying rating greater than the current rating. Alternatively or additionally, the circuit interrupter and/or the electrical enclosure may have interference elements that physically interfere with the mounting and/or the electrical connection of a circuit interrupter having a current carrying rating with an electrical enclosure having a current rating less than the current carrying rating.

An illuminating push button switch having a mistake-proof design to avoid improper installation of a light emitting diode (LED) consists essentially of a body portion (2), a cap portion (1) attached above said body portion (2), and a LED (6) inserted into the body portion (2) from the bottom. Said push button switch is characterized in that said body portion (2) incorporates a light cap (22), and a slot (23) for receiving the LED (6). A frame portion (30) is reciprocating along the light cap (22) for activating/deactivating the switch. Said mistake-proof design is provided at an inner wall of the slot (23).
摘要:
A contact assembly for use in an electrical apparatus includes an armature comprising a base and a post having first and second ends. The first end is connected to the base and the second end comprises intersecting cross members defining four quadrants and a body extending between the cross members in one of the four quadrants. A moveable contact is received on the post. The moveable contact comprises an elongate bar having contact pads at opposite ends of one face and a central opening. The central opening comprises intersecting slots defining four quadrants and a void extending between the slots in one of the four quadrants. The central opening is slightly larger than the post second end so that the moveable contact is mounted to the post with the contact pads facing in a desired direction.

An interface for a plug-in circuit breaker for carrying auxiliary components is disclosed. The interface includes a substrate having a base surface secured to the circuit breaker and a mounting surface. A plurality of auxiliary contact blocks, each carrying eight auxiliary contacts, can be mounted on the mounting surface. A plurality of rating plugs, for avoiding insertion of a wrong breaker into a plug-in base, may further be mounted on the mounting surface. The interface may further include a plurality of tunnel-shaped passageways for routing auxiliary circuit wires and preventing their interference with moving parts of the breaker.

A molded plastic current limiting circuit breaker includes an interrupter assembly that includes an over-molded magnet, arc stack, baffle stack, and a chamber liner in which a trip unit is described.
摘要:
An arc stack for receiving a circuit breaker blade moveable between a closed position and an open position, includes a plurality of generally rectangular are plates having substantially similar length and width dimensions and positioned substantially parallel to one another. The straight edges of the arc plates are in line with one another so that the are stack is generally rectangular in shape. The arc plates have respective arc throats formed therein having a plurality of sizes so as to form a longitudinal passageway extending through the arc throats following the arc generated by the blade moving between the closed and open positions. The arc plates include sets of arc plates with the arc plates in each set having identical arc throats. The sets of arc plates are arranged in order of decreasing arc throat size with the set having the largest arc throats being positioned adjacent the circuit breaker blade in the closed position. The arc stack is formed in two sections with each section including a selected number of arc plates. The arc plates in each section are interconnected by a pair of side fibers engaging associated edges of the arc plates. The two sections are connected to form the arc stack by engaging the inner edges of the pair of side fibers of one section with mating inner edges of the pair of side fibers of the other section.
