CIRCUIT BREAKERS WITH SHAPED NEUTRAL BUSBARS AND/OR LOAD TERMINALS AND RELATED METHODS
Arc Fault Circuit Interrupter (AFCI), Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) or AF/GF circuit breakers which may optionally have relatively small or compact bodies that have shaped neutral busbars and/or load terminals with an arm that extends through a window of a current transformer in a circuit breaker housing. The neutral busbar and/or load terminal can have a rigid or semi-rigid shaped body with a first segment that extends through the window of the current transformer and a second segment that extends behind the first segment about a printed circuit board. A plug-on, pigtail or bolt-on neutral can engage an electrical pad of the neutral busbar.

Portable racking device for draw-out power circuit breakers
Disclosed are various embodiments for racking a draw-out circuit breaker. A portable motorized racking device may be connected or disconnected from an racking assembly of the circuit breaker. The portable racking device includes a gearmotor, a drive socket for engaging with the racking screw of the circuit breaker, and a locking disk for securing the portable racking device to the racking assembly of the circuit breaker. The gearmotor may be remotely controlled to rack the draw-out circuit breaker.
CIRCUIT BREAKER INCLUDING END COVERS
A circuit breaker includes an electrically insulative case including a first end and a second end opposite the first end. The circuit breaker further includes an end cover selectively installable on both the first and second ends of the electrically insulative case. The end cover includes a wall defining at least one opening for receiving a removable shield, a first end connectable to the electrically insulative case first end, and a second end connectable to the electrically insulative case second end.

OPERATING MECHANISM OF CIRCUIT BREAKER AND ASSEMBLING BREAKER
An operating mechanism of a circuit breaker, wherein two ends of a first spring are rotationally connected to a rocker arm assembly and a first crank through a first spring shaft and a second spring shaft respectively, and one end of a jump buckle is rotationally connected to a bracket and is a jump buckle pivoting end; a jump buckle hole of the jump buckle is aligned with a bracket hole of the bracket; the first spring shaft is in limiting fit with the jump buckle; and one end of the first crank swings in a direction away from the jump buckle pivoting end, such that a spacing between the first spring shaft and the second spring shaft is smaller than or equal to the length of the first spring, and a first assembly state is formed.
