Abstract
A combined arc gas controller-line terminal plug is used within molded case circuit breaker covers to direct the flow of arc gases that occur during intense overcurrent circuit interruption. The plugs simultaneously prevent access to the line terminal lugs while controlling the egress of the arc gases. Moreover, the plugs are removable for connection with and disconnection from an associated electrical power distribution system.
