A circuit breaker includes a housing having a channel formed therein, the channel being defined by at least one side wall having a detent formed therein, a circuit breaker mechanism, a switch handle configured to toggle the circuit breaker, and an actuator module adapted to move the switch handle from the off position to the on position. The module includes a flexible portion having a protrusion formed thereon, the protrusion being sized, shaped and located to engage the detent when the module is mounted within the channel. The module also includes a locking clip moveable from an unlocked position, in which flexing of the at least one flexible portion is permitted, and a locked position, in which flexing of the at least one flexible portion is limited or prevented, such that when the module is mounted within the channel, removal of the module is inhibited.

An apparatus (200) for remote manipulation of an electric equipment. The apparatus (200) comprises a supporting structure (204) adapted to be attached to the electric equipment adjacent to a button (202a) of the electric equipment, and an elongated lever (206) attached to an axis (204a) of the supporting structure between a first end and a second end of the elongated lever such that the elongated lever is rotatable around the axis (204a). The apparatus (200) also comprises an actuation member (208, 210) adapted to actuate the first end of the elongated lever in response to an actuation signal (S) such that the elongated lever rotates around the axis (204a) so to move a finger portion (206c) at the second end of the lever against the button with a predefined maximum length. Thereby, a precise and well-defined movement of the finger portion (206c) can fairly easy be created with a predefined maximum length which is sufficient to press the button (202a) to activate some function as desired, but without risking damage of the button (202a).

A transfer assembly is for a switching assembly mounted in an electrical enclosure. The switching assembly has an electrical switching apparatus, a shaft, and a handle member coupled to the shaft. The electrical switching apparatus is structured to move between an ON position and an OFF position. The transfer assembly includes a body structured to be coupled to the electrical switching apparatus, and a cam assembly structured to move between a FIRST position and a SECOND position. The cam assembly includes a rotary member coupled to the body and structured to be coupled to the shaft, and a driving member cooperable with the rotary member. When the cam assembly moves between the FIRST position and the SECOND position, the driving member drives the electrical switching apparatus between the ON position and the OFF position.

Power switch manipulation apparatuses that allow users to manipulate power switches of FRUs mounted within storage racks in a manner free of a user having to physically reach into the storage rack to manipulate the power switches. One embodiment of the disclosed manipulation apparatus broadly includes a base member that may be rigidly secured to a portion of the frame of a storage rack (e.g., on a side or vertical member adjacent a rear door or opening of the rack at the same or similar height as at least one of the power switches) along with a tool that is movably mounted or mountable to the base member for manipulating a power switch of a FRU mounted in the rack.
