Arc Fault Circuit Interrupter (AFCI), Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) or AF/GF circuit breakers which may optionally have relatively small or compact bodies that have shaped neutral busbars and/or load terminals with an arm that extends through a window of a current transformer in a circuit breaker housing. The neutral busbar and/or load terminal can have a rigid or semi-rigid shaped body with a first segment that extends through the window of the current transformer and a second segment that extends behind the first segment about a printed circuit board. A plug-on, pigtail or bolt-on neutral can engage an electrical pad of the neutral busbar.

A flexible and non-magnetic fuse that can be used in a MRI. The fuse is made up of a substrate and a first layer located upon the substrate. The first layer including a first electrical conductor material suspended within a first base material. Upon the first layer is located a second layer. This second is made up of a material that is suspended within a second base material. The second layer has a solid to liquid phase transition temperature lower than a solid to liquid phase transition temperature of a material of the first layer and the second base material intermixes with the first base material at the transition temperature the second layer.

A circuit breaker includes an electrically insulative case and a handle rotatably coupled to the electrically insulative case. The circuit breaker also includes a gear train mechanism. The gear train mechanism includes a drive gear drivingly coupled to the handle and a plurality of pinions engaged with the drive gear. The drive gear is arranged to rotate the plurality of pinions in response to a rotation of the handle. The gear train mechanism also includes a rack engaged with the plurality of pinions. The rack is arranged to translate in response to a rotation of the plurality of pinions.

A circuit breaker, and method of assembling the circuit breaker, includes a circuit breaker housing defining an interior portion, and which includes a molded base and a separable cover. The molded base includes an interior surface and an exterior surface. The exterior surface of the molded base is operatively disposed outside of the interior portion of the circuit breaker housing, and the exterior surface of the base defines at least one current sensing unit receiving cavity configured to receive a current sensing unit therein. The molded base and separable cover are cooperatively disposed to surround the interior portion of the circuit breaker housing.

A circuit breaker includes an electrically insulative case including a first end and a second end opposite the first end. The circuit breaker further includes an end cover selectively installable on both the first and second ends of the electrically insulative case. The end cover includes a wall defining at least one opening for receiving a removable shield, a first end connectable to the electrically insulative case first end, and a second end connectable to the electrically insulative case second end.
摘要:
A tripping shaft apparatus for a circuit breaker. Tripping shaft apparatus includes a rigid shaft portion and a polymer shaft portion molded onto the rigid shaft portion, wherein the polymer shaft portion includes a first molded lever. At least one other lever is a part of the tripping shaft apparatus. A torsion spring is received over the shaft between the first molded lever and the second lever providing an integral torsion spring positioned between the levers. Circuit breaker tripping assemblies and methods of assembling a circuit breaker tripping assembly are provided, as are other aspects.

A circuit breaker assembly includes a circuit breaker cassette having a connector receiving zone, and a housing receptive of the circuit breaker cassette. The housing includes a connector mounting member. A circuit breaker connector member snap-fittingly extends into the connector receiving zone through the connector mounting member joining the circuit breaker cassette and the housing.
摘要:
A system and method for coupling electrical power subsea. The system comprises a subsea electrical distribution system having at least one modular circuit breaker assembly. The modular circuit breaker assembly is controlled by a control system that has a plurality of circuit breaker controls. Each circuit breaker is operable to be controlled by a plurality of circuit breaker controls and each circuit breaker control is operable to control a plurality of circuit breakers. Therefore, control of each circuit breaker is maintained even if one circuit breaker control fails.
