An adapter is for a metering assembly. The metering assembly includes an electrical switching apparatus and a socket assembly. The socket assembly has a plurality of jaw members. The adapter includes a base member and a plurality of electrical contacts each coupled to the base member and structured to be mechanically coupled and electrically connected to a corresponding one of the jaw members. Each of the electrical contacts is structured to be electrically connected to the electrical switching apparatus.

An interruption apparatus includes a first portion having a trip unit and a second portion having a detection system. The first and second portions are individually selectable based upon the particular application and are then movable from a detached configuration to a connected configuration. The first and second portions are selected from a plurality of first portions and second portions having different specifications. A desired first portion having a first interruption rating and a desired second portion having detection capabilities that are suited to the particular application can be assembled together to provide a field-configurable interruption apparatus.

An improved interruption apparatus includes a plurality of poles, with each of the poles including an actuator. In one embodiment, the actuator can be a fuse having a movable engagement element, and in another embodiment the actuator can be an electric coil that is operable to move a movable engagement element. The interruption apparatus has a single trip unit, and the engagement element of any actuator can actuate the trip unit to move all of the poles from a CLOSED state to an OPEN state.
