Abstract: A Shunt Trip Circuit Interrupter is to be installed within an electrical panel and includes a number of sets of separable contacts, a housing, an operating mechanism structured to move each set of separable contacts between at least an ON condition and an OFF condition, and a tripping mechanism situated within an interior of the housing and including an electronic circuit, a solenoid electrically connected with the electronic circuit, and a wire electrically connected with the electronic circuit and extending between the electronic circuit and an exterior of the housing, the wire being structured to be electrically connected with a switch system having at least one of a manual switch and an electronic switch that, when actuated, actuates the solenoid that engages the operating mechanism which moves each set of separable contacts from the ON condition to the OFF condition.

Abstract: A smart receptacle is for a number of loads. The smart receptacle includes separable contacts; an operating mechanism structured to open and close the separable contacts; and a number of current sensors structured to sense current flowing through the separable contacts to one of the number of loads. A number of indicators indicate a relative level of the sensed current or corresponding energy. A processor inputs the sensed current, determines the relative level of the sensed current or the corresponding energy, and controls the number of indicators to indicate the relative level of the sensed current or the corresponding energy.

Abstract: A switchgear mounting assembly for a load center includes a base assembly, an electrical bus assembly, and a bracket. The base assembly includes a base and a central protrusion extending outwardly from the base. Bus bars are electrically connected and mechanically coupled to the central protrusion and include stabs, which extend radially outwardly from the central protrusion. The bracket is coupled to the central protrusion and includes supporting elements. Each supporting element maintains a corresponding electrical switching apparatus in electrical communication with a corresponding one of the stabs. The switchgear mounting assembly is therefore structured to mount the electrical switching apparatus in a radial array extending around the central protrusion.
