The present invention provides a wireway assembly for mounting to the housing wall of an electrical distribution device to enclose and protect electrical wiring therein. Generally rectangular, u-shaped channels have at least one aperture positioned in the channel wall to overlap the aperture of an adjacent channel to define a wireway through which the electrical wiring extends from the bight portion of one channel to the bight portion of the adjacent channel. An interlocking means manually attaches and detaches each channel with an adjacent channel and with the housing wall. The present invention also includes a method of safely protecting electrical wiring extending across a housing wall of an electrical distribution device. The method includes the step of interlocking a plurality of u-shaped channels in an abutting position to each other and the housing wall.

Interlocking wireway assembly for electrical distribution devices

A racking mechanism for a fused circuit breaker includes a drive assembly that is removable as a unit from the breaker and fuse truck. A modular assembly includes a drive unit having a drive shaft and a travelling nut and yoke for rotating a pair of levering arms for moving the breaker among a plurality of positions in a cubicle. All interlocks are included on the modular drive assembly. An indicator is cam operated by the travelling nut and includes a face having indicia that identifies the direction of rotation of the drive shaft.
