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.

An information display system for a switching device having a handle includes a cover for the switching device and a faceplate. The cover includes an opening sized to allow passage of the handle. The faceplate is configured to carry information about the switching device. The faceplate is rotatable with respect to the cover to change an orientation of the information.

Information display system for switching device, switching device, and method

A switching device is provided. The switching device includes a housing including a base and a switching device cover coupled to the base, a line side terminal positioned on a line side of the housing, a load side terminal positioned on a load side of the housing, wherein the line side is opposite the load side, a first terminal cover coupled to the switching device cover proximate the line side, and a second terminal cover coupled to the switching device cover proximate the load side, wherein the first terminal cover is movable between a closed position and an open position, wherein the first terminal cover is attached to said switching device cover in both the closed and open positions, and wherein the second terminal cover is attached to the switching device cover in both the closed and open positions.

Methods, devices, and systems for automated maintenance mode switching are described. An example method of controlling a protection assembly mode of operation is described for use in a system having a protection assembly configured to receive power from an upstream power source and provide power and protection to a downstream protection device moveable between a fully engaged position and a fully disengaged position. The method includes determining, by the protection assembly, when a maintenance action is being performed on the downstream protection device, and switching the protection assembly from a normal protection mode to a maintenance mode of operation in response to determining the maintenance action is being performed on the downstream protection device.

A magnetic trip mechanism for a circuit breaker includes an electrically conductive strap having a first wall portion and a second wall portion that define an interior space therebetween. Also included is a flux block disposed at least partially within the interior space, and movable in response to a short circuit condition of the circuit breaker. Further included is a trip lever operatively coupled to the flux block. Yet further included is a trip latch moveable between a latched condition and an unlatched condition with a handle, wherein rotation of the trip lever occurs in response to the short circuit condition and causes movement from the flux block to actuate the trip latch to the unlatched condition.

Magnetic trip mechanism for circuit breaker

A circuit breaker includes a housing, a stationary pole member fixedly mounted in the housing, a moveable pole member shiftably mounted within the housing, and a drive shaft mounted to the housing and operatively connected to the moveable pole member. An inertia latch stop member is mounted to the housing adjacent the drive shaft and an inertia latch is operatively connected to the drive shaft. The inertia latch is configured and disposed to extend from the drive shaft and engage the inertia latch stop member in response to a change in direction of rotation of the drive shaft from an opening direction to a closing direction following a trip event.
