Abstract
A circuit breaker accessory for reverse handle operation of a circuit breaker installed in a vertically inverse orientation includes a housing configured for attachment to a face of a circuit breaker on which a switching handle of the circuit breaker is arranged. A reverse switching handle is configured with a transverse sleeve for a pivot axis of operation between a down position and an up position with a top to protrude through the housing. An extension arm has a pivoting connector at a first end for coupling with the bottom end of the reverse switching handle, and a collar at a second end for coupling with the switching handle of the circuit breaker. A pivot shaft couples the transverse sleeve of reverse switching handle with the housing, arranged to fit through the transverse sleeve. The reverse switching handle operates in a direction opposite to the switching handle of the circuit breaker due to extension by the extension arm.
