摘要： A residential circuit breaker is provided with means to visually identify certain status information about the device such as detection of a condition through a label. The residential circuit breaker comprises an electronic pole housing that includes an opening for a light emitting diode (LED) light to pass through. The residential circuit breaker comprises the label located on a front of the residential circuit breaker such that the label is used to identify device information about the residential circuit breaker. The label includes a window in a specified area for the LED light to shine through the label to provide an arc fault circuit interrupter (AFCI)/a ground-fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) indication. The residential circuit breaker further comprises a LED mounted on a printed circuit board (PCB) assembly to transmit the light from the LED to an external surface of the circuit breaker without the need of a translucent plastic part.

摘要： An apparatus and a method are provided to block and unblock a breaker handle of a circuit breaker having main contacts. The apparatus comprises a locking mechanism including a locking handle shaft and a locking latch. The locking handle shaft is configured to latch the locking mechanism for keeping the breaker handle in a mid-position in which the main contacts stay open. The locking handle shaft has a latching surface configured to be removed from its position in order to rotate the breaker handle to a fully ON position in which the main contacts fully close. The locking latch is configured to prevent rotation of the locking handle shaft. The locking latch is configured to engage and disengage with the locking handle shaft in order to rotate the breaker handle from a reset position to the mid-position in which the locking mechanism locks the breaker handle rotation thus preventing the main contacts from closing. The breaker handle is stopped at the mid-position by the locking mechanism until a self-test is passed.

摘要： A multi-pole circuit breaker such as a residential electronic circuit breaker is provided. It includes a means to prevent a breaker mechanism from latching, i.e., a breaker armature from latching with a cradle if certain criterion is met. In particular, the multi-pole circuit breaker comprises a breaker mechanism including a breaker armature, a cradle and an armature latch bar to prevent the breaker armature from latching with the cradle. The armature latch bar includes a recessed feature that interfaces with the breaker armature, an armature latching surface that needs to be removed before the breaker mechanism can be latched and an armature latching lever that prevents a rotation of the breaker armature.

摘要： A circuit breaker including an adjustable instantaneous trip level. Adjustable instantaneous trip level can be applied to a one-pole and/or two-pole circuit breakers including a thermal and magnetic mechanism, including AFCI, CAFCI, and/or GFCI constructions. The circuit breaker includes a magnet position adjustment mechanism allowing an operator to adjust the instantaneous trip level to a desired setting, such as between about 5 to 10 times the handle rating. The design also allows for alternate magnets to be used for either an increased or decreased instantaneous settings as desired. In two-pole circuit breakers, the instantaneous trip level can be set independently for each mechanism pole. Multi-pole circuit breakers and methods of adjusting instantaneous trip level are provided, as are other aspects.

摘要： A circuit interrupting device comprises a conductor capable of generating heat and a temperature-activated, permanent lock out trip mechanism. The mechanism includes a plunger, a compressed or stretched spring and a fusible metal to hold the plunger. The mechanism is located near the conductor that generates heat and is configured such that when the fusible metal melts when at least one heating element is energized or a holding wire fuses when energized in response to a failed self-test the plunger is released: allowing the compressed or stretched spring to convert its potential energy into kinetic energy and moving the plunger to generate a force to unlatch a latch releasing a first spring to open a contactor switch removing power from an electrical circuit. The constant force generated by the compressed or stretched spring on the plunger inhibits the circuit interrupting device from resetting.
