Abstract: A circuit breaker contact position indicator assembly includes an indicator lever that interacts with the circuit breaker contact carrier through a indicator lever bell crank and a contact arm bell crank to provide true ON and OFF indication of the circuit breaker contacts.
Abstract: An earth fault detection circuit employs a differential current transformer and burden resistor to sample circuit current for potential earth fault current. A second order low pass filter circuit is employed to filter out harmonics within the protected circuit and a time delay circuit is used to insure the occurrence of a true earth fault leakage condition. A circuit with an operational amplifier is used to create a symmetric power supply for the rest of the circuits from a full wave rectified AC source.

Abstract: The present invention provides a fuse holder for supporting a plurality of fuses for electrical distribution equipment such as a distribution transformer. The fuse holder comprises a first end plate attached to a first distal end of the fuses; and a second end plate attached to a second distal end of the fuses. The first and second end plates have a plurality of relief cuts to permit an increased surface creep distance and are constructed of an electrically non-conductive material. A top plate, having wire routing openings for retaining wire bundles of the electrical distribution equipment, is attached to the top of the first and second end plates.
