Cradle-assist assemblies attached to the breaker cradle housing and/or base or residing at least partially in the breaker cradle housing and/or base include at least one actuator configured to laterally translate the at least one right and the at least one left lock members from the extended lock position to the retracted unlocked position in response to input from a user. The at least one actuator and/or transverse member(s) can be held in a defined position so that the lock members of the cradle can be locked in the respective retracted or extended positions until the cradle assist (internal) lock is manually or automatically released.

A solid-state circuit breaker comprises a breaker housing and an air gap driving mechanism that is a permanent magnet based. The air gap driving mechanism includes a pair of opposing contacts, a first permanent magnet to generate a static magnetic field and a coil actuator to generate a dynamic magnetic field. The first permanent magnet and the coil actuator are positioned relative to each other such that the dynamic magnetic field generated by the coil actuator can either enhance or cancel the static magnetic field of the first permanent magnet. Hence a combination of the static magnetic field from the first permanent magnet and the dynamic magnetic field from the coil actuator can either drive the pair of opposing contacts open or drive the pair of opposing contacts close.

A structure of a ground fault circuit interrupter includes a locking arm, which is provided with a stop surface, disposed inside the ground fault circuit interrupter, and a support body fixedly connected to a soft magnet is provided with a stop portion which can interfere with the stop surface that is moving downward. The locking arm is also connected to an elastic element, and under a normal state, the elastic element moves downward the stop surface of the locking arm to interfere with the stop portion of the support body, so that the soft magnet is prevented from moving toward a permanent magnet The locking arm can also be pushed down and driven by a reset button to move upward the stop surface, so that the stop portion and the stop surface no longer interfere with each other.

A high-speed circuit breaking array, for breaking a current path in a switching device in the event of a short circuit or overload, has a drive for moving a drive armature from a standby position to a trigger position, wherein the movement of the drive armature is designed to act on at least one movable contact of the switching device in such a way that the current path is broken using a holding device. A switching device having a contact system has at least one fixed contact and at least one movable contact, wherein in order to make and break a current path the movable contact can be reversibly moved in relation to the fixed contact between a make position and a break position using a drive for the purpose of functional switching, and has a high-speed circuit breaking array of this type.

A gas circuit breaker includes a sealed tank, a movable side main electrode and a fixed side main electrode in the sealed tank facing each other, a movable side arc electrode and a fixed side arc electrode in the sealed tank facing each other, a cylinder at a circumference of the movable side arc electrode, a piston in the cylinder in a slidable manner and forming a puffer chamber together with the cylinder, an insulation nozzle in the sealed tank, an exhaust pipe at a circumference of the fixed side arc electrode and exhausting heat gas, which is sprayed on an arc generated in the insulation nozzle in the opening electrode operation, to an outside, and a closing plate in the exhaust pipe. One or more vent holes leading the heat gas from an inside of the exhaust pipe to the outside is on a surface of the closing plate.

A circuit breaker having a movable contact arm for opening and closing the circuit which is controlled separately by a circuit breaker mechanism for circuit protection and by a switch lever mechanism which does not require actuation of the circuit breaker mechanism to function. The switch lever may be activated by a solenoid or other suitable means, and various interlocking mechanical states exist among the elements that provide added safety features.
