Abstract
An improved arc chute wrapper for an arc chute of a circuit breaker includes left and right halves that form a conjoined two-part member and that carry a plurality of spaced arc plates thereon. The left and right halves of the wrapper are formed with a plurality of left and right grooves, respectively, in confronting relation when the left and right halves are assembled together. The left and right grooves extend at most only partially into the arc chute wrapper, such that the arc chute wrapper is free of holes extending therethrough in the vicinity of the arc plates. The arc plates are free of spinning tabs extending outwardly therefrom, and rather are securely mounted in the left and right grooves of the wrapper. The arc chute wrapper is manufactured by molding or other appropriate method. The arc chute employing the wrapper of the present invention is more reliable, less expensive, and easier to produce than arc chutes employing wrappers and arc plates of the type heretofore known.
