GLASS-TO-METAL-SEAL ASSEMBLY FOR AN ELECTROMECHANICAL SWITCHING DEVICE
This disclosure presents apparatuses, systems, and devices that include a glass-to-metal-seal (GTMS) header for a low-voltage auxiliary switch. In one embodiment, an apparatus is disclosed that includes a weld plate and a plurality of glass-to-metal-seal (GTMS) headers. Each GTMS header is inserted into the weld plate. In this embodiment, the apparatus also includes a plurality of bendable conductive inserts, each bendable conductive insert extending through one GTMS header of the plurality of GTMS headers.

Circuit breaker linear lever and tripping fork mechanism
Various embodiments of the present technology generally relate to industrial circuit breakers. More specifically, a linear lever and tripping fork mechanism for thermal-magnetic circuit breakers is disclosed that provides information in the event of a trip about what caused the trip (i.e., overload or short circuit). In an embodiment, a circuit breaker includes a tripping fork that pivots in response to a thermal trip occurring in the device. In response to the tripping fork pivoting, a linear lever slides into a trip indication position. In response to the linear lever sliding into the trip indication position, trip indication componentry provides an indication that the thermal trip occurred to an output on the circuit breaker. The circuit breaker further includes a second tripping fork and linear lever that behave similarly in response to a magnetic trip occurring in the device.
