摘要： A circuit breaker includes a molded housing, separable contacts, an operating mechanism adapted to open and close the separable contacts, and a trip circuit cooperating with the operating mechanism to trip open the separable contacts. The molded housing includes two molded halves. The trip circuit includes a pair of arc fault printed circuit boards which cooperate with the corresponding molded halves to form an external composite structure. That external composite structure includes the printed circuit boards and an over-molding material, such as, for example, a thermally conductive epoxy coating disposed thereon.

摘要： A fish feeding stimulant in one example comprises a host media. The host media comprises an amino acid component with a dominant amino acid. The host media is configured to release the dominant amino acid with a predetermined flux rate into an aqueous environment upon placement of the host media in the aqueous environment. The predetermined flux rate is selected to provide a concentration of the dominant amino acid, in an area surrounding the host media, which exceeds a threshold level for an involuntary feeding response of one or more fish in the area surrounding the host media.

摘要： A tester for testing a circuit breaker includes a plurality of load elements each having a nominal fixed impedance and an electronic switch associated with each load element. The electronic switch, when turned on, electrically connects a corresponding load element in series with a circuit breaker load terminal and in parallel with none or with a number of other load elements. A controller turns on a number of the electronic switches selected to draw through a corresponding number of the load elements a test current selected as a function of a designated rated current for the circuit breaker and sufficient to trip open the same. A pulse width modulation circuit cooperates with the controller and with the electronic switches. The pulse width modulation circuit provides a constant magnitude of the test current to accommodate variations of the nominal fixed impedance or variations of the voltage of the load terminal.
