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.

A terminal connecting mechanism for a molded case circuit breaker that does not need a tool for connection or release between a wire and a terminal is disclosed. The terminal connecting mechanism of a molded case circuit breaker comprises a supporter having a through hole portion for allowing passing through of a terminal of the molded case circuit breaker and a terminal seat portion where the terminal, which has passed through the through hole portion, is mounted; a spring of which one end is supported by the supporter; and a lever member being in contact with the other end of the spring, rotataby moving to a position for allowing insertion of a wire to contact the terminal, and pressurizing the wire by means of an elastic force of the spring to maintain a contact state between the wire and the terminal.

Systems and methods provide an electrical bus plug on a busway, where the electrical bus plug is universal and configured to fit a plurality of busways. An adapter may fit on the electrical bus plug to allow the bus to properly electrically connect with the specific type of busway. Optional mounting brackets can also be removably attached to the universal electrical bus plug to permit attachment to a specific type of busway. Therefore, a single/universal electrical bus plug can be used to electrically connect to a plurality of busway types through the use of an adapter and mounting hardware that attached to the universal bus plug.

The invention relates to a switch having a switch housing, a number of module-type individual interrupter chambers which can be arranged in particular side by side in the switch housing and having at least two switching contact elements, and an actuating device which closes off the switch housing above the individual interrupter chambers. This actuating device serves to adjust a cam element for the selective establishment of an electrical connection between the switching contact elements of an individual interrupter chamber. The switching contact elements can be arranged in at least two different orientations in each individual interrupter chamber in an explosion-protected manner. Furthermore, in particular the cam element of the actuating device can be arranged differently depending on the orientation of the switching contact elements. This results in a switch with a simple adaptation option for housing installation or front-panel mounting, wherein all requirements for explosion protection are also fulfilled at the same time.

The present disclosure relates to a molded case circuit breaker, and particularly, to a molded case circuit breaker having an enhanced arc protecting function. The molded case circuit breaker includes: a power side terminal portion provided at a front side of an enclosure and having a fixed contact arm; a finger assembly coupled to the fixed contact arm, and disposed on a front surface of the power side terminal portion; and a base bus supporter coupled to an upper surface and a lower surface of the power side terminal portion, and having a finger hole through which the finger assembly is exposed. The base bus supporter is provided with a protection unit configured to enclose the finger assembly around the finger hole.

A modularized structure of switch wire connection device includes an assembling support and a wire connection module. The assembling support has a first side and a second side. The first and/or the second sides are formed with assembling sections for assembling with the wire connection module. The wire connection module includes a first wire connection module and/or a second wire connection module each having a case. The case defines a chamber for receiving and enclosing electrical contact components including conductive members. The case is formed with a mounting section for connecting with the assembling section of the assembling support. Accordingly, the wire connection module is detachably mounted on the assembling support as an integrated form. The modularized structure enables an operator to easily assemble/disassemble the components and change the switch specification between normally open mode and normally closed mode and enhance insulation effect to avoid electric arc.

A modular residential circuit breaker comprises an assembly including an operation module and a first application module. The operation module includes an operation mechanism, a trip system, and an arc suppression system except a specific mounting and a current application. The first application module is configured to mate with the operation module to form a complete circuit breaker and define a replacement breaker frame for having an external modularity for the modular residential circuit breaker.

A contactor assembly is connected to a bus-bar of a main circuit-breaker. The assembly includes a housing including an opening defined therein; a contactor passing through the opening, wherein the contractor includes contacting portions projecting forwardly of the opening and coupled portions projecting rearwardly of the opening; a presser passing through the opening, wherein the presser is interposed between the contactor and the housing, wherein the presser is supported on the housing and presses the contacting portions and the coupled portions; and a connector coupled to the coupled portions of the contactor and electrically connected to the contactor.
