Abstract
Disclosed is a handheld control device (HCD) for remotely operating molded case circuit breakers. The HCD has an engagement fixture with a rectangular aperture for capturing a circuit breaker handle of a molded case circuit breaker. The fixture is attached to a central part of an actuating short arm. The actuating short arm is attached perpendicularly and pivotally to an elongated long arm that is of sufficient distance to protect an operator from hazardous arcing. Right and left elongated actuating members (e.g., rods, cables) extend along the long arm and attach to respective end portions of the actuating short arm. In one embodiment, a pivot handle manually moves the elongated actuating members to move the actuating short arm and consequently the fixture and handle. In another embodiment, a motor is controlled to move the elongated actuating members to move the actuating short arm and consequently the fixture and handle.
