Abstract
The present invention relates to a circuit breaker device for assembly and electrical connection of modular power apparatuses. This device is designed to perform electrical connection of a plurality of power apparatuses, such as circuit breakers, installed together on the same mounting rail with auxiliary units. The set of electrical power apparatuses are electrically connected and/or supplied with power up-line by a connecting comb. This comb is in the form of a bus comprising at least one conducting bar extending generally parallel to the longitudinal direction of the rail and generally perpendicularly to one of the faces of the cases, the bars each being connected to one of the phases or to the neutral. Contact strips of the power apparatuses are electrically and selectively connected up-line to one conducting bar by a connector in the form of double-blades or double-grips, cooperating via one of their ends with the contact strips of the apparatuses and via their opposite ends with the conducting bars.
