The present invention relates to the field of electrical relays. In particular the invention relates to a bracket a relay and bracket combination which permits the relay to be mounted on a surface or panel in a plurality of angular rotational orientations. There is provided a relay and mounting bracket combination comprising a relay having a body with a terminal end portion provided with one or more electrical terminal connectors and a base end portion adapted for engagement with the bracket, wherein the bracket is provided with attachment features which facilitate the mounting of the bracket to an external object or surface when the bracket is engaged with the base end portion of the relay.

A jumper with safety fuse. The jumper includes first and second conducting wires and a fuse assembly interposed therebetween and connected thereto. A connector assembly is connected to each of the first and second conducting wires, which includes a plug section and a receptacle section. The plug section includes a body, a lead connector extending from a top of the body, and a plug extending from a base of the body. The receptacle section includes a socket configured to receive the plug and conduct electricity to its corresponding conducting wire, thereby forming an electrical connection therebetween. The jumper may be provided in a jumper kit with jumpers of different gauges and a set of interchangeable lead connectors.

A modular circuit breaker includes a module assembly coupled to a primary assembly. The primary assembly includes a primary housing, separable contacts disposed therein, a first terminal conductor electrically connected to one of the separable contacts, a conductive tab electrically connected to another one of the separable contacts and which extends outward from a first end of the primary housing, an operating mechanism disposed in the primary housing for selectively opening and closing the separable contacts, and a trip mechanism disposed in the primary housing cooperative with the operating mechanism to trip open the separable contacts. The module assembly includes a module housing having a second terminal conductor positioned therein and electrically connected to the conductive tab, a third terminal conductor structured to be electrically connected to a neutral conductor of a load, and a fourth terminal conductor structured to be coupled to a neutral bus.

An adaptor assembly is provided. The adaptor assembly is structured to allow a cable of a first amperage to be coupled to, and placed in electrical communication with, a terminal of a different amperage. That is, an adaptor assembly includes a lug body and an adaptor body. The adaptor body is coupled to, and in electrical communication with, the lug body. The lug body includes a cable passage, wherein said cable passage has a cross-sectional area corresponding to a cable of a first amperage. The adaptor body includes a conducting surface, wherein said conducting surface has a surface area corresponding to a conductor terminal end mating surface of a second amperage.

A fuse block assembly includes a nonconductive base formed with pedestal surfaces attachable to terminals from a location above the base, while providing a clearance between the body of a fuse and the middle portion of the base when a fuse is installed.

A switching assembly includes an operating assembly and a fixed contact assembly including a first fixed contact, a second fixed contact, a third fixed contact, a fourth fixed contact, and a number of terminals. The number of terminals includes a first terminal, a second terminal, and a third terminal. The switching assembly also includes a movable contact assembly that includes a first movable contact and a second movable contact. The first movable contact is movable between a first position and a second position. The second movable contact is movable between a first position and a second position. The operating assembly is coupled to the movable contact assembly and moves the first and second movable contact assemblies between the first and second positions. The switching assembly also includes a shunt assembly including a number of shunts. The shunt assembly is configured in one of a series configuration or a parallel configuration.
