ARCING EXHAUST GAS REMOVAL FOR CIRCUIT BREAKERS
A pole assembly housing for a miniature circuit breaker is structured to lessen pressure and temperature increases within the housing increase due to arcing gas. The housing includes an exhaust compartment, which includes an arc chamber where the separable contacts of the circuit breaker are located and an exhaust channel with a first end and a second end. The channel's first end is in fluid communication with the arc chamber and the second end is a vent opening in fluid communication with the environment external to the housing. The channel has a diverging shape such that the first end is the narrowest portion, and the channel widens between the first end and the vent opening. Multiple ribs are formed on the sidewall in the arcing chamber, and more ribs are formed on the walls surrounding the exhaust channel cool arcing gas and reduce pressure of the arcing gas.
