  • Apparatus and method for remotely moving a circuit breaker into or from a circuit breaker cell housing
    Patent number: 6897388
    Abstract: A racking apparatus 10 is provided for remotely inserting into and removing an industrial electric circuit breaker from a cell housing. The racking apparatus includes a housing having a base 12 and a frame 14 extending upwardly from the base. A Wheel structure 20, 22, 24 is coupled to the base to permit wheeled movement of the housing. A motor mount structure 32 is coupled to the frame for generally vertical movement toward and away from the base. An electric motor 34 is mounted to the motor mount structure. The motor has a shaft 35 and an adaptor structure 36 is operatively associated with the shaft. The adaptor structure is constructed and arranged to be coupled to a circuit breaker. Actuating structure 40 is associated with the motor mount structure to cause the generally vertical movement of the motor mount structure. A controller 56 is carried by the housing for controlling the motor and the actuating structure.
