An interface assembly is for an electrical switching apparatus. The electrical switching apparatus includes a housing, a first handle partially extending through the housing, separable contacts located within the housing, an operating mechanism to open and close the separable contacts, a main printed circuit board located within the housing, and a number of electrical rating settings associated with the main printed circuit board. Each of the electrical rating settings has a magnitude. The interface assembly includes: a base assembly comprising a base, the base being disposed on the housing, the base having a mounting surface; and a second handle coupled to the mounting surface, the second handle and the first handle being structured to drive each other. The mounting surface has at least one port. The magnitude of a corresponding one of the electrical rating settings is visible through the at least one port.

A short-circuit protection action current adjusting method and a device thereof for a multi-pole electromagnetic release. An electromagnetic system includes an auxiliary static iron core, a second static iron core, a coil, a reset spring and a dynamic iron core; at an initial position, a first gap is formed between the auxiliary static iron core and the dynamic iron core, a second gap is formed between the dynamic iron core and the second static iron core, and the thickness of the second gap changes in the same direction along with the size variation of a release threshold; the elastic force of the reset spring changes oppositely along with the size variation of the release threshold; when a release current value is adjusted from large to small, the coil energy reduces in a quadratic relationship mode along with flowing currents and meanwhile the electromagnetic attraction between the dynamic iron core and the second static iron core is increased in a quadratic relationship mode, which is in inverse proportion to reduction of the thickness of the second gap. According to the short-circuit protection action current adjusting method and device thereof for the multi-pole electromagnetic release, adjustment of the release current value and electromagnetic attraction required by actions of the dynamic iron core are in a linear fixed corresponding relationship due to automatically achieved balance between two quadratic functions, and adjustment of the release threshold through the user is convenient, reliable and stable.
