11424089 · 2022-08-23 · ·

The present disclosure envisages a heat-absorbing-and-dissipating jacket (80) for a terminal (100) of an electrical device (1000). The jacket has a body (81) configured to at least partially contour walls of the housing (10) of the terminal (100) and the jacket is made of a heat-absorbing-and-dissipating material. The body (81) of the jacket has a lower portion (86) extending operatively below the housing (10) of the terminal (100). The body (81) of the jacket also has an upper portion (88) extending operatively above the housing (10) of the terminal (100). The jacket (80) of the present disclosure is a cost-effective means which allows maximum heat absorption and dissipation from an enclosed electrical device and can be incorporated in an existing design of an electrical device.

Panel wire install indicator of a residential circuit breaker

A residential circuit breaker is provided with means for showing proper installation of a panel wire to ensure that an installer/a contractor is aware that the panel wire has been fully inserted into a circuit breaker lug. The residential circuit breaker comprises a circuit breaker lug having a lug body and a lug body screw. The residential circuit breaker further comprises a panel wire install indicator to indicate proper insertion of a panel wire in the lug body by providing a visual indication to an installer/contractor that the panel wire has been fully inserted in the circuit breaker lug during and after installation. The panel wire install indicator includes a panel wire indicator lever wherein the panel wire indicator lever can indicate if the panel wire has been installed properly and wherein there is a visual indication if the panel wire is no longer present in the lug body.
