Abstract
A precision location system for a circuit breaker utilizing a phase cassette concept is disclosed. A cover plate is mounted to at least one of a plurality of single-pole units having a circuit breaker operating mechanism positioned thereon. The cover plate is configured to precisely align an actuator precisely located on the cover with the circuit breaker operating mechanism. The actuator trips a latch of the operating mechanism, thereby tripping the entire circuit.
