A safety apparatus is a terminal shield having an indication circuit incorporated therein. The safety apparatus is usable with a circuit interrupter to overlie one or more terminals of the circuit interrupter that are connected with line and load conductors and to thereby form a circuit interrupter apparatus. The safety apparatus can be employed at the line side of a circuit interrupter, at the load side of a circuit interrupter, or at both sides of a circuit interrupter. The safety apparatus can be provided as part of a new circuit interrupter apparatus or can be provided to retrofit existing circuit interrupters. The indication circuit advantageously outputs from a top surface of the terminal shield one of a visual indication and an audible indication when one or more terminals of the circuit interrupter are electrified, thereby easily conveying to a technician the portions of the circuit interrupter that are electrified.

A key structure having a pressing area is provided. The key structure includes a first membrane and a second membrane. A first conductive layer and a first insulation layer are sequentially disposed on a surface of the first membrane. The first insulation layer has a first opening in the pressing area, so that a part of the first conductive layer is exposed from the first opening. The second membrane is disposed opposite to the first membrane. A second conductive layer and a second insulation layer are sequentially disposed on a surface of the second membrane facing the first membrane. The second insulation layer has a second opening, which is formed corresponding to the first opening, in the pressing area, so that a part of the second conductive layer is exposed from the second opening to face the first conductive layer in the first opening.

A jumper is for an electrical switching apparatus having a plurality of poles. Each of the poles comprises a terminal. The terminal of a first one of the poles is proximate the terminal of a second one of the poles. The jumper includes a jumper member having an attachment portion and a heat sink portion. The attachment portion is structured to electrically connect the terminal of the first one of the poles to the terminal of the second one of the poles. The heat sink portion includes a plurality of spaced apart heat transfer members that are arranged in a plurality of rows and a plurality of columns.
