Abstract: A pressure sensitive trip mechanism for actuating a circuit breaker operating mechanism to trip a circuit breaker includes a trip lever and a trip bar. The trip lever is rotatable about a first pivot. The trip bar is positioned proximate the trip lever. The trip bar is arranged to rotate about a second pivot in response to a predetermined level of pressurized gas created by separation of the pair of electrical contacts, thereby urging the trip lever to unlatch the circuit breaker operating mechanism. The pressure sensitive trip mechanism provides for very fast tripping of the circuit breaker in the event of a short circuit condition or an overcurrent fault condition within any one on the circuit breaker poles. In a multi-pole circuit breaker, the present invention provides for protection against single-phasing.

Abstract: Two molded case electrical switches such as circuit breakers, network protectors, disconnect switches and transfer switches, are secured together side-by-side by joining blocks having tongues extending along their sidewalls which engage undercutting grooves undercutting the irregular surfaces of the confronting sidewalls of the switch molded casings with an interference fit. Separate joining blocks for the front and rear sections of the molded casing are driven into place and retained by bolts engaging flanges on the molded casing. The poles are paralleled by external conductors in any desired configuration so that the standard switches can be used without customization.

Abstract: A modular crossbar arrangement for molded case circuit breakers allows a plurality of contact arm assemblies to be interconnected from a single modular unit. To provide increased acceleration to the movable contact arms a contact arm accelerator lever interfaces with the contact arm and crossbar assembly. To promote further acceleration of the movable contact arms to their closed positions, the movable contact arms in a multi-pole circuit breaker are staggered with respect to their rotational alignment within each pole on the crossbar assembly.

Abstract: A four-pole circuit breaker has an operating mechanism associated with one of the intermediate main poles, so as to take up an asymmetrical position with respect to the layout of the four poles. The mechanism has springs similar to those of a three-pole breaker. The transverse tie bar is common to the three main poles and is mechanically coupled to a kinetic linkage controlling the fourth pole, so as to bring about the closure of the contacts of the fourth pole before the closure of the contacts of the main poles upon closing of the breaker, in order to match the four-pole load torque to the three-pole motor torque of the mechanism.

Abstract: A non-removable handle tie is connected to a pair of push-push type circuit breakers arranged in back-to-back relationship. The handle tie includes a central finger engageable portion and oppositely extending offset sections entered into cavities of the circuit breakers through rear openings into the cavities. Both the stamped metal and molded plastic constructions for the handle tie are loosely connected to the circuit breaker handles to permit tilting of the handle tie when both handles are not in corresponding positions, yet this connection permits simultaneous manual operation of both circuit breakers. In the molded resilient construction of the handle tie the unit is formed so as to experience controlled bending when the handles are not in corresponding positions. However, when the handle tie is depressed for manual operation, the handle tie exhibits rigidity in transmitting operating forces.
