| Number | Title | Issue Date |
| 4484045 | Molded case circuit breaker having improved arc resistant properties Molded case circuit breakers having increased short circuit current ratings contain a dual contact blade arm assembly and an arc shield wherein the operating mechanism is shielded from the arc blast which occurs during contact arcing. The arc blast shield... | 11/20/1984 |
| 4463335 | Magnetic circuit for high voltage contactor A contactor of the high-voltage type utilizing an arc chute and aligned magnetic pole pieces for urging an arc into the chute for quenching. A pair of rigid bus bars extend upon either side of the arc chute assembly, and are projected along the edges of t... | 07/31/1984 |
| 4453055 | Louvered arc chute A "U" shaped arc chute, formed in a single piece stamping, with louvered openings at the center section. The louvers cool and safely direct gases, generated during short circuit operation of a circuit breaker, away from the metal front of circuit breaker ... | 06/05/1984 |
| 4446347 | Arc-suppressing apparatus for circuit breaker An arc-suppressing apparatus for a circuit breaker has a pair of side plates having a plurality of first and second grooves formed therein, the second grooves being shallower than the first grooves and extending linearly from the ends of the first grooves... | 05/01/1984 |
| 4393289 | Circuit breaker A high performance, manually and automatically operable, trip-free magnetic circuit breaker incorporates a double break contact system to achieve longer life, more reliable operation and improved rupture capacity.... | 07/12/1983 |
| 4376271 | Polarized DC contactors Means for causing the properly-polarized one of a pair of series-connected DC contactors to open before the other, depending upon the direction of load current flow. Load current is caused to link the magnetic circuit constituted by a contactor coil, fram... | 03/08/1983 |
| 4295021 | Electromagnetic arc extinction apparatus for switchgear An electromagnetic arc extinction apparatus for switchgear comprises an arc chamber made of an electrically insulating material and having an axial channel. There are two electrodes arranged in axial relationship to the axis of the arc chamber and adapted... | 10/13/1981 |
| 4295022 | Trifurcated arc runner A relatively high current capacity molded case circuit breaker having arcing and main contacts and an arc chute to receive and extinguish arcs drawn between the arcing contacts is provided with a trifurcated magnetic arc runner extending from the stationa... | 10/13/1981 |
| 4247746 | Electric circuit breaker In the or each pole of an electric circuit breaker, the or each moving contact arm is mounted. by a pivot pin, upon a carrier, in such a manner as to permit lost motion between the arm and the carrier, the arm being spring-loaded towards an operative posi... | 01/27/1981 |
| 4041356 | Air-break circuit interrupter having magnetically-assisted arc-dividing electrodes Air-break circuit interrupter having a plurality of stacked plates of insulating material straddled at the lower edge thereof by electrodes including diverging wing portions extending between the plates to permit the initial arc to be divided by the base ... | 08/09/1977 |
| 4011420 | Molded case circuit breaker with improved interrupting capacity A molded case circuit breaker of relatively narrow width is afforded dramatically increased current interrupting capacity by providing shielding against the electromagnetic field developed as the result of short circuits flowing through a contiguous circu... | 03/08/1977 |
