Abstract:
A mechanical switch-door interlock assembly includes a mounting assembly and an actuator assembly. The actuator assembly includes a body, a door sensor, an operating mechanism handle actuator, and a number of sliding coupling components. The actuator assembly body is slidably coupled to the mounting assembly. The actuator assembly body moves between a first position, wherein the operating mechanism handle actuator does not operatively engage the operating mechanism handle, and a second position, wherein the operating mechanism handle actuator operatively engages the operating mechanism handle and moves the operating mechanism handle to the second position. When a door is in a first position, the door operatively engages the door sensor and moves the actuator assembly body to the first position. When the door is in the second position, the door does not operatively engage the door sensor allowing the actuator assembly body to move into the second position.

Abstract:
An arc baffle includes a first baffle member having a number of first venting holes disposed therein, each being structured to receive ionized gases produced by an arcing event; a second baffle member having a number of second venting holes disposed therein; a section of porous material disposed between the first baffle member and the second baffle member; and a cover disposed adjacent the second baffle member on the opposite side of the section of porous material. The first venting holes are laterally spaced from the second venting holes by a predetermined distance such that ionized gases produced by the arcing event passing through one of the first venting holes must travel at minimum the predetermined distance generally along the section of porous material before passing through one of the second venting holes.
