The present invention relates to a state-indicating device (100) for circuit breaker with test function disclose. The state-indicating device (100) includes signal transmission to plurality of indicating devices (100) from the circuit breaker by means of linking features between the circuit breaker and indicating device and also linkage between one indicating device and other indicating device. Indicating device includes a mechanical linkage comprising an actuator connected to hook member (7) and tripping bar (8) with stainless-steel rod (9) being configured to: operate mechanical plate (6) and lever (10), test function actuator (4); to push the microswitch button (19) of a microswitch assembly (12) by selectively On/Off (OF), Signal Default (SD) and SD+OF causing the circuit to change status from Normally Open (NO) to Normally Close (NC); and to show the trip status of the circuit breaker which is mounted to, say the right side of the invented state-indicating device (100).

A plug comprises power contacts and a trip jumper having jumper contacts configured to make a trip connection, during a plugging action with the plug and a receptacle, with mating trip contacts in the receptacle. When the receptacle is connected to electrical power during the plugging action, a current over the trip connection can cause disconnection of a receptacle power contact from the power. A receptacle comprises receptacle power contacts and a trip circuit having receptacle trip contacts configured to make a trip connection, during a plugging action with the receptacle and plug, with mating trip contacts in the plug. When the receptacle is connected to electrical power during the plugging action, a current over the trip connection can cause disconnection of power to a receptacle power contact. A system can have an electrical device with a line cord connected to the plug.

A circuit interrupter having a status indicator providing a current status of the circuit interrupter, the status indicator presenting one of: an On state, an Off state or a Fault state. The status indication is provided as a visual status and is color coded to one of the three circuit interrupter states. The circuit interrupter further including, in one configuration, a rocker actuator that rotates about an axis and the status indication mechanism is coupled to the rocker actuator.

A modular auxiliary switch includes a housing including a first housing part and a separate second housing part secured to the first housing part. A printed circuit board is housed in one of the first and second housing parts, and has a first side facing the first housing part and a second opposite side facing the second housing part. An actuator mechanism is housed in the first housing part and is coupled to the printed circuit board. A separate first electrical contactor is selectively mounted to the printed circuit board so that a first electrical contact surface of the first electrical contactor overlaps and is in direct contact with one of the first side and the second side to define a first electrical contact pad on the printed circuit board.
