Abstract: A reverse fed single pole miniature ground fault circuit breaker includes a housing, a line termination on the lower portion of the housing, and a load termination on the upper portion of the housing. Separable contacts are disposed between the line termination and the load termination. A handle and operating mechanism form a manual mechanism for manually operating the separable contacts. The handle has an upper position in which the separable contacts are closed and a lower position in which the separable contacts are open. A ground fault circuit interruption trip circuit opens the separable contacts in response to predetermined ground fault current conditions and is powered through those separable contacts. In this manner, when a power source is electrically interconnected with the line termination on the lower portion of the housing, when the handle is in the upper position, and when there is none of the predetermined ground fault current conditions, the ground fault circuit interruption trip circuit receives power through the separable contacts.

Abstract: An externally controllable circuit breaker includes a set of main contacts, an operating mechanism for opening and closing the main contacts; and a set of secondary contacts electrically connected in series with the main contacts. A control mechanism to open and close the secondary contacts includes an electromagnet with an armature having a first position, which opens the secondary contacts, and a second position, which closes the secondary contacts. The electromagnet also includes a coil electrically interconnected with the main contacts for energization therefrom and adapted for control by one or two external signals from one or two external contacts to operate the armature between the first and second positions.

Abstract: A multi-pole circuit breaker apparatus includes first and second circuit breakers having first and second handles extending therefrom for switching the circuit breakers between "On" and "Off" positions. The circuit breakers are connected together with the handles extending generally parallel to each other. A handle tie connects the first and second handles for simultaneous operation. The handle tie has first and second handle openings disposed therethrough. The first and second handles extend all the way through the first and second handle openings, respectively, so that a forwardmost extension of the combined handles and handle tie is no greater than a forwardmost extension of the handles in the absence of the handle tie. The handle tie is slidably received about the handles so that it is free to float along at least a portion of a length of the handles. This provides a multiple circuit breaker apparatus which can readily fit into all existing enclosures in which the circuit breakers could fit in the absence of the handle tie.
