Abstract: A failure prediction assembly is structured to monitor circuit breaker assembly sub-assemblies and their component's characteristics. The failure prediction assembly includes a sensor supported D-shaft and a sensor assembly including a housing and a number of sensors. The sensor assembly housing defines a D-shaft passage. A control unit is in electronic communication with the sensor assembly. The sensor assembly housing is coupled to the circuit breaker sidewalls with the sensor assembly housing D-shaft passage aligned with the circuit breaker sidewall D-shaft passages. The sensor supported D-shaft is rotatably coupled to the sensor assembly with the sensor supported D-shaft disposed through said sensor assembly housing D-shaft passage.

Abstract: A cooling system for a circuit breaker is provided. The cooling system includes a temperature management unit, a power assembly, and a heat dissipating assembly. The temperature management unit is structured to detect the temperature at one of the circuit breaker or the conductor assembly. The power assembly is structured to harvest energy from the circuit breaker. The heat dissipating assembly includes a number of convection units, each heat convection unit is disposed immediately adjacent a number of the heat exchanging element.

Abstract: Temperature monitoring devices have a primary body with an inner circular perimeter, a temperature monitoring segment held by the primary body, the temperature monitoring segment comprising an inwardly extending thermal probe, and a fastener assembly segment held by the primary body at a location that is circumferentially spaced apart from the temperature monitoring segment. The fastener assembly segment has a circumferentially extending bracket that can be radially extended in a direction that is toward the inner circular perimeter of the device.
