Abstract
A molded case circuit breaker unit having an accessory compartment within the circuit breaker cover, contains a field-replaceable fuse within the compartment for protecting an electric motor without tripping upon motor current reversal. Upon the occurrence of a short circuit within the protected circuit, the fuse operates to isolate the protected equipment and is conveniently replaced without disassembling the circuit breaker components.
