  • Patent number: 9870890
    Abstract: A load center includes an arc fault circuit interrupter comprising a plurality of contacts, an operating mechanism for separating the contacts, and an arc fault trip mechanism to generate a trip signal in the event of an arc fault detection. The load center also includes a neutral link electrically connected to the arc fault trip mechanism and the plurality of contacts. The load center further includes a mounting rail operatively coupled to the arc fault circuit interrupter, the arc fault circuit interrupter directly supported by the mounting rail. The load center yet further includes a neutral busbar and a plug-in neutral conductor electrically connecting the mounting rail to the neutral busbar.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20020053066
    Abstract: A system for modeling a circuit breaker assembly and its components. The system comprises a computer generated and interactive system model, the system model comprising hierarchically arranged sub-models, each sub-model representing a different circuit breaker function, a first pin for passing simulated load current to the system model, and a second pin for passing simulated load current from the system model.
