Featured is a particulate and pressure redirection barrier for an electrical breaker as well as a breaker embodying such a barrier. Such a barrier includes first through fifth segments, where the first segment includes a first and second side section and a bottom section that are coupled to each other so as to form a generally U shaped structure. The second segment is coupled to the first side section so it extends outwardly at an angle from the first side section. The third segment is coupled to the second side section so as to extend outwardly and at an angle from the second side section. The fourth segment is coupled to the second segment so as to extend outwardly from and at an angle with respect to the second segment. The fifth segment is coupled to the third segment so as to extend outwardly from and at an angle with respect to the third segment. Such a configuration of the fourth and fifth segments is such that gas flowing along a surface of the second or third segments is redirected at an angle with respect to that surface.

Disclosed is a molded case circuit breaker. The molded case circuit breaker includes a case; an interrupter assembly installed in the case, and provided with an arc gas outlet for discharging arc gas generated from inside of the interrupter assembly to outside; an exhaustion guiding portion disposed between the interrupter assembly and the terminal portion, and provided with a discharge chamber therein, to thus provide an arc gas passage between the arc gas outlet and a vent chute of the terminal portion; and an exhaustion cover mounted to the case with a structure to cover the exhaustion guiding portion, to thus block the arc gas passage.

A gas circuit breaker includes, in a container filled with an arc extinguishing gas: a fixed-side main contact and a movable-side main contact separable from the fixed-side main contact; a fixed arcing contact (12) and a movable arcing contact (11) disposed on inside diameter sides of the fixed-side main contact and the movable-side main contact, respectively, the movable arcing contact (11) being separable from the fixed arcing contact (12); an insulating nozzle (14) that surrounds the fixed arcing contact (12); an arc space to be formed between the fixed arcing contact (12) in the insulating nozzle (14) and the movable arcing contact (11) when the movable arcing contact (11) is separated from the fixed arcing contact (12); a thermal puffer chamber (21) that draws thereinto the arc extinguishing gas whose pressure has been increased by arc heat in the arc space; and an evaporating member (41) disposed in the thermal puffer chamber (21). In the gas circuit breaker, the evaporating member (41) is formed of a nonwoven fabric.

Plug-on neutral circuit breakers include an AFCI OR GFCI circuit breaker housing, a neutral conductor with an external end portion extending from the AFCI/GFCI circuit breaker housing, and a clip assembly attached to the neutral conductor at a specific length configured to align with the loadcenter neutral bar location. The clip assembly includes a conductive clip with downwardly extending, spaced apart legs. The legs are sized and configured to clamp against opposing sides of a neutral bar.

To promptly extinguish an arc generated between contacts with a simple and inexpensive structure without negatively influencing the spring property of a movable contact piece. A contact switching mechanism includes a fixed contact piece with a fixed contact and a movable contact piece with a movable contact which faces the fixed contact in a contactable manner. At least either one of the contact pieces is provided with an extension which extends toward the contact of the remaining contact piece.

Pilot switch circuitry coupled across first and second terminals of a microelectromechanical system (MEMS) switch is provided to reduce or eliminate arcing between a cantilever contact and a terminal contact when the MEMS switch is opened or closed. The pilot switch circuitry establishes a common potential at the first and second terminals prior to, and preferably until, the cantilever contact and terminal contact come into contact with one another when the MEMS switch is closed. The pilot switch circuitry may also establish a common potential at the first and second terminals prior to, and preferably after, the cantilever contact and terminal contact separate from one another when the MEMS switch is opened.
