Patent number: 9842716Abstract: A set of circuit interrupters and electrical enclosures that are configured to permit an electrical enclosure having a current rating to have connected therewith a circuit interrupter having a current carrying rating no greater than the current rating. However, a current interrupter having a current carrying rating less than the current rating of the electrical enclosure potentially may be connected therewith. Such electrical interruption equipment employs threaded studs on bus bars that are of varying sizes and/or are separated by varying distances in order to resist an electrical enclosure having a current rating from being electrically connected with a circuit interrupter having a current carrying rating greater than the current rating.Type: GrantFiled: October 6, 2016Date of Patent: December 12, 2017Assignee: EATON CORPORATIONInventors: James Gerard Maloney, Tony Ray Benson, Eric Alan Samuelson
