A contact arm for use in a circuit breaker is provided. The contact arm includes a tubular body that includes a conductive tube and defines a central longitudinal axis of the contact arm. The body has a first end configured for connection with a contact of the circuit breaker, and a second end configured for connection with a pole of the circuit breaker. The body defines a plurality of apertures extending therethrough from an outer surface of the body to an inner surface of the body.

Contact arms for use in electrical switchgear and methods of fabricating same

An electrical switching apparatus including a housing, a circuit interrupter mechanism movably disposed in the housing, and a damper assembly. The damper assembly includes a bracket that secures the damper assembly to the housing. A damper body is adjustably secured to the bracket. A stopper is coupled to the damper body and arranged to limit relative movement of the circuit interrupter mechanism with respect to the damper assembly. A damper rod extends through an opening in the stopper and has a surface that is arranged to interact with the circuit interrupter mechanism. The damper rod is arranged to damp movement of the circuit interrupter mechanism with respect to the damper body when the circuit interrupter mechanism is in contact with the surface of the damper rod.
