Abstract: The disclosed concept pertains to coating compositions, methods of applying the compositions, and coated components produced therefrom. The coating compositions include alkyd or modified alkyd. The coatings are formed on surfaces of one or more internal components positioned within an electrical system, such as a circuit breaker. In the event of electrical arcing and the metal splatter produced therefrom, the coatings of the disclosed concept are effective to at least partially protect the component surface from the metal splatter and to at least partially impart splatter resistance to the component surface such that the metal splatter does not tend to adhere thereto.

Abstract: A composition for coating a surface of an electrical contact includes a polymer matrix comprising elastomer, at least one nano-particle material, and crosslinker.

Abstract: A system and method for producing material characteristics are described. A magnetic treatment chamber (14) with a high magnetic field treats workpieces; and a conveyor or transporter (26) continuously moves the workpieces (22) through the high magnetic field in the magnetic chamber. A frictional or mechanical engagement system (40a, 40b) extracts the workpieces through and out of the high magnetic field.

Abstract: A circuit breaker includes at least trip mechanism component that has been provided with a splatter resistant surface. The splatter resistant surface significantly reduces the amount of metal splatter that adheres to the component, increasing the reliability of the circuit breaker. The splatter resistant surface may be created by coating the trip mechanism component with a solid lubricant or by applying a solid lubricant to the trip mechanism component in tape form.

Abstract: An electrical interface includes a nano-particle layer. The electrical interface also includes a first conductor and a second conductor. The nano-particle layer and the first and second conductors are electrically coupled together.
