Examples described herein relate to circuit breaker assemblies with changeable orientation. In one example, an apparatus includes a circuit breaker assembly and a circuit breaker housing to receive the circuit breaker assembly. The circuit breaker assembly includes a circuit breaker including a contact, a cover plate attached to a surface of the circuit breaker, and a handle movable between a first position and a second position. The circuit breaker assembly is removably attachable to the circuit breaker housing to change an orientation of the circuit breaker assembly.

A rotary switch module includes a first stationary contact, a second stationary contact, and a movable contact for making an electrical connection between the first stationary contact and the second stationary contact. A rotary actuator is provided for rotating the movable contact, the rotary actuator having on its surface a first indication indicating an open position of the switch, and a second indication indicating a closed position of the switch. A first window indicates the first indication, and a second window separate from the first window indicates the second indication.

An openable cover for an enclosure configured to house a switching device, the switching device being configured with an operating member operable between a first position and a second position. The openable cover comprises a moveable member operable in response to movement of the operating member. The movable member is configured to prevent opening of the cover member when the operating member is in the first position, and configured to prevent closing of the cover member when the operating member is in the second position.

A power switchgear having an action monitoring function by an IC tag with a sensor includes: a main body including a switching section carrying out switching action; an operating mechanism including a switching operation section mechanically connected to the switching section so as to carry out switching operation of the switching section; and an action monitoring section monitoring an action of the switching operation section and wirelessly communicating with an external equipment. The action monitoring section includes an IC tag with sensor attached to a portion of the switching operation section and a case surrounding at least a portion of the switching operation section including the IC tag with a sensor.

A handle assembly is provided for a circuit breaker which includes a housing assembly that defines a substantially enclosed space housing an operating mechanism. The handle assembly is preferably a single-piece and includes a base member which is coupled to the operating mechanism, and a handle member having a first end which protrudes from an opening of the housing assembly, and a second end coupled to the base member. The base member includes first and second integral resilient legs which are disposed within the opening and are supported by posts protruding from the housing assembly, in order to resist undesired access into the substantially enclosed space therein. The first and second integral resilient legs each include a groove which increases the resiliency of the leg. The handle assembly is preferably symmetric about the longitudinal axis of the handle member.

A switch mechanism such as a circuit breaker includes a trip indicator mechanism. The switch mechanism includes a switch contact and a rocker movable between a first position in which the contacts are closed, a second position indicating that an electrical fault has occurred, in which the contacts are open, and a third position in which the switch mechanism has been reset and the contacts are open. The rocker preferably comprises two rocker members hinged together with one of the rocker members having a step formation between a front face and an end face. The step formation carries an instruction regarding resetting of the mechanism and lies substantially flush with the front panel of the circuit breaker housing, with the face of the first rocker member standing partially proud of the front panel, when the rocker is in the second position. The mechanism allows a user to distinguish between manual switching off of the circuit breaker and tripping due to a fault.

A return spring mechanism is arranged to operate with a circuit breaker operating mechanism during a trip condition. The circuit breaker operating mechanism is movable between a tripped position, a reset position, an off position and an on position. The return spring mechanism is attached to the exterior of the circuit breaker frame and includes a return spring with a fixed end attached to the frame. When the circuit breaker is tripped, the return spring mechanism operates to provide an additional force to the handle yoke. The additional force applied by the return spring is predetermined to position the handle yoke intermediate to the handle yoke positions when the circuit breaker is off and on. Thus, the movement of the handle yoke to the intermediate position provides clear indication that the circuit breaker is in the tripped condition.

A miniature aircraft type circuit breaker (10') has a threaded mounting bushing (18) in which a push button (20) is slidably received. Push button (20) is coupled to a movable contact arm (24) to move a movable electrical contact (26) into and out of engagement with a stationary electrical contact (28). A flexible fluid splash barrier sleeve (32) is telescopically received on a reduced diameter portion (34) of push button (20) above a white indicator portion (30) of the push button and has a lower distal end portion (36) which engages an annular top surface (38) of the bushing when push button (20) is depressed to bring the electrical contacts into engagement. Adhesive material may be used to affix the barrier sleeve to the reduced diameter portion (34) which optionally can have a roughened surface to enhance adhesion.

A molded case circuit breaker with a visual access slot next to the circuit breaker operating handle allows the conditions of the circuit breaker contacts to be visually ascertained. To prevent inadvertent displacement of the circuit breaker operating handle when the circuit breaker is connected within an electrical distribution circuit, a handle guard is positioned over the circuit breaker operating handle. The handle guard is arranged such that the circuit breaker operating handle is free to reciprocate between the ON, OFF and TRIPPED positions while the operating handle guard is in position.

An electric apparatus is provided with a manual control switch with indication of the "on" and "off" positions, the case of said apparatus having on a front face a pivoting manual control switch capable of occupying two endmost "on" and "off" positions, said switch being mounted on a shaft provided in the case. The switch is pierced with two openings which, by a contrast between the colors of the switch and of the underlying shaft, stand out against the shaft, one of rectilinear shape indicating "on" position and the other of circular shape indicating the "off" position.
