Circuit breakers that include and/or a trip latch assembly that is configured to maintain open and closed energy status of the breaker. The trip latch assembly can include: a first stop cam held on a cam shaft; a second stop cam held on the cam shaft axially spaced apart from the first stop cam; a drive cam held on the cam shaft; a trip-open latch held on a trip latch shaft, (typically above) in cooperating alignment with the first stop cam; a trip-close latch held on the trip latch shaft above and in cooperating alignment with the second stop cam; a follower residing below and in communication with the drive cam; and a linkage attached to the follower and to a main shaft to open and close the breaker responsive to the position of the drive cam.

Trip latch assemblies for circuit breakers and related circuit breakers

A torque regulator assembly is for a stored energy assembly of an electrical switching apparatus. The torque regulator assembly includes: a drive assembly including a gear and a transfer assembly disposed on the gear, the gear being structured to be cooperable with at least one charging mechanism of the stored energy assembly; and a shaft extending through the gear. The drive assembly is structured to move between a driving position and a non-driving position. In the driving position, the gear is cooperable with the transfer assembly to drive the shaft. In the non-driving position, the gear rotates independently with respect to the transfer assembly.

Electrical switching apparatus, and stored energy assembly and torque regulator assembly therefor

Spring operated actuator devices for an electrical circuit breaker and/or electrical switching device include at least one clock spring comprising a disc shaped body with gear teeth and a spiral spring, a cam shaft holding the at least one clock spring with an inner end portion of the spiral spring attached to the cam shaft, and a drive cam held by the cam shaft adapted to be in communication with a follower that directs an actuator to open or close a mobile contact to maintain open and closed energy status of the electrical circuit. The at least one clock spring is configured as a closing spring of the spring operated actuator.
