Abstract: A support apparatus is usable with an electrical enclosure to provide support to retain a cover portion of the electrical enclosure in proximity to a cabinet portion of the electrical enclosure. The support apparatus includes a shank having a hook-shaped retention element situated at an end thereof that is configured to provide vertical support to the cover portion. The support apparatus can further include a second hook-shaped retention element at an opposite end of the shank that is configured to rest upon an upturned lip of the cabinet portion, or the shank can potentially be affixed to the cabinet portion. Slots can additionally be provided in the cabinet portion, the cover portion, or both to additionally provide horizontal alignment of the cover portion with the cabinet portion.

Abstract: An electrical switching apparatus includes a plurality of poles each comprising separable contacts, an operating mechanism structured to open and close the separable contacts and to trip open the separable contacts in response to a fault condition, and a housing enclosing the separable contacts. The housing includes an interior, an exterior, and a plurality of receptacles extending from the exterior toward the interior. A surge protection assembly includes a plurality of modules, wherein each of the modules is removably disposed in a corresponding one of the receptacles of the housing. Each of the modules provides independent surge protection for a corresponding one of the poles of the electrical switching apparatus.

Abstract: An electronic trip unit for a circuit interrupter includes a line side voltage sensing module for measuring first voltages on a line side of separable contacts, a load side voltage sensing module for measuring second voltages on a load side of the separable contacts, a current sensor, and a main controller. The main controller is further structured and configured to: (i) for each of a plurality of arc interruption events in the circuit interrupter, determine a mass loss due to contact erosion during the arc interruption event based on one or more of the first voltages, the second voltages and the current measured by the current sensor, (ii) determine a total mass loss based on each determined mass loss due to contact erosion, and (iii) monitor a remaining life of the separable contacts based on the determined total mass loss due to contact erosion.

Abstract: A device includes an enclosure mounted to an end portion of a photovoltaic panel and has an interior, an opening, an inclined ramp within the interior, a door pivotally disposed at the opening, and a latch mechanism. The door is on a panel surface in an open position, and blocks the opening in a closed position. The latch mechanism latches the door closed and releases the door to the open position. A flexible material blocks light from reaching panel photovoltaic cells and includes a first end coupled to the inclined ramp within the enclosure and an opposite second end coupled to a rod. The flexible material is rolled up about the rod and rests on the inclined ramp. The door's closed position blocks deployment of the material. In the open position, the material rolls down the inclined ramp and covers the panel surface. The door is automatically or manually deployed.
