Molded case circuit breaker with terminal cover having emboss guides for cable box cover alignment and fixing
A molded case circuit breaker configured to protect its ports and cables is provided. The molded case circuit breaker comprises an electronic trip unit (ETU) including communication ports or a thermomagnetic trip unit (TMTU). The molded case circuit breaker further comprises a terminal cover configured to pass cables that connect to the communication ports of the ETU and pass the cables over lugs without touching the lugs. The molded case circuit breaker further comprises a cable box cover that protects the cables of the ETU from external harm. The terminal cover including an emboss fixture having emboss guides for alignment and fixing of the cable box cover. The electronic trip unit (ETU) or the thermomagnetic trip unit (TMTU) and the cable box cover are assembled with one or more screws. The cable box cover is prevented from falling after the one or more screws are taken out from the terminal cover regardless of how the circuit breaker is mounted.

CROSSBAR ASSEMBLY AND TRIP ASSEMBLY COMPRISING SAME
A crossbar assembly and a trip assembly comprising same are disclosed. The crossbar assembly according to an embodiment of the present disclosure comprises a crossbar and an instant bar. The crossbar and the instant bar can be rotatably coupled so as to be rotatable around the same rotary shaft. Therefore, the space required for rotation can be reduced to be less than when the crossbar and the instant bar are individually rotated. In addition, the crossbar can move in a longitudinal direction when coupled to the instant bar. Therefore, a metallic bar for movement of the crossbar is unnecessary. Therefore, interference between different-phase currents flowing through the trip assembly can be minimized.

ELECTRONIC INSTALLATION DEVICE
An electronic installation device for controlling a load in an electrical circuit, which comprises a single or multi-layer printed circuit board arrangement with electrical components and conductor tracks and which comprises a load circuit and a control circuit. According to the invention, in order to provide an electronic installation device with protective devices against short-circuit and against overload and which are specific to devices, the load circuit and the control circuit are at least functionally coupled to one another, and the electronic installation device comprises a first overcurrent protection device for protection against short-circuit currents and a second overcurrent protection device for protection against overload currents.
THERMAL TRIP COMPENSATION STRUCTURE
The present disclosure relates to a thermal trip compensation structure including a tripping bar having an ejector pin, a bimetal strip, a compensating component, a support for the compensating component, and an adjustment component. One end of the bimetal strip is connected with the support. The support receives and supports the compensating component. The adjustment component is capable of adjusting a position of the compensating component relative to the support. The compensating component has an inclined slant surface which is set in such a way that a gap between the inclined slant surface and the ejector pin of the tripping bar when the bimetal strip is deflected after the occurrence of short circuit is less than the gap between the inclined slant surface and the ejector pin of the tripping bar when the bimetal strip is not deflected before the occurrence of the short circuit.
CIRCUIT BREAKER AND METHOD FOR OPERATION THEREOF
A circuit breaker having, in a current path, a switching device having a thermal and/or magnetic tripping device for interruption of a current circuit having the current path comprehensive in an event of overcurrent or short-circuit, wherein a functional component of the switching device connected into the current path is bridged by means of a bypass which carries the load current detected by means of a current sensor when the current is below a current threshold, and is shut off when the current threshold is exceeded.

Circuit breaker with current limiting and high speed fault capability
A circuit breaker arraignment includes at least two trip mechanisms. The first trip mechanism acts to immediately trip to open contacts of the circuit breaker upon reaching a first threshold current level, and the second trip mechanism acts to trip to open the contacts once both a second current threshold is reached and a time delay has elapsed. The contacts are moved by a linkage assembly that is held under mechanical advantage such that when acted on by one of the two trip mechanisms, the mechanical advantage is released to rapidly open the contacts.
