Abstract
A multi-pole circuit breaker has interrupters contained in respective housing sections which have two bushings extending perpendicularly from either end of the housing section. Each housing section is segmented at its center so that the two halves which are defined can rotate relative to one another whereby the bushings extending from the housing halves can have different angular relationships with respect to one another and the bushing-free ends can have different spacings. The circuit breaker can be used as an indoor or outdoor circuit breaker with common parts but the bushing spacing is altered by adjusting the angular relationship of the bushings relative to one another.
