Abstract: In a plural phase overload relay, a pivot lever (12) is mounted to the ambient compensator deflector (9), and a second pivot lever (34) is mounted to both driver and follower slide bars (36 and 38) and driven thereby to engage and pivot the first lever on the ambient compensator deflector to trip a cut-out switch. The ambient compensator deflector adjusts both the three phase current trip threshold and the loss of phase current trip threshold, and also affords ambient compensator of each. A constant ratio relationship between these two thresholds is provided throughout the entire range of current trip threshold settings. The driver bar moves a first distance for three phase trip and a second shorter distance for loss of phase trip. The ratio of these distances is constant notwithstanding adjustment by the ambient compensator deflector changing the length of such distances.

Abstract: A meter center enclosure (4) is divided into a metering section (8) and service disconnect section (10) by a barrier (6,12,14) which is laterally supported along a back wall of the enclosure by brackets (30) cooperatively engaging slots (22) in the barrier. Grooved insulator supports (24) are slidingly received in the slots (22) and are locked in a forward position by the brackets (30). Bus conductors (26,28) extend from the metering section (8) into the service disconnect section (10) through openings in the insulators (24) and are supported by the insulators (24). In one embodiment, insulator (24) provides the sole support (24e) for a service disconnect circuit breaker, and connectors (44) are provided for the bus conductors (26,28) which may selectively receive either plug-in (CBP) or bolt-in (CBB) circuit breakers. In another embodiment, the insulator (52) cooperates with a reversible bracket (58) to support a selected one of two dimensionally different circuit breakers (CB').
