Abstract
A circuit interrupter having a first plate on which a stationary contact is positioned where the flow of electrical current through the first contact and first plate cause a magnetic field to form around the stationary contact such that an arc that may form in the vicinity of the stationary contact is urged toward arc extinguishing plate and vented out the bottom of the housing of the circuit interrupter. In one configuration the venting is formed as a split vent path to direct the venting of gas and debris in a controlled manner.
