Abstract: An electrical surge protection device is structured to be installed on an electrical enclosure and to be electrically connected between one or more line conductors and one or more ground or neutral conductors. The electrical surge protection device includes a support that is structured to be installed on the electrical enclosure and a number of varistors or other electrical components that will, in the event of a voltage surge on a line conductor, shunt electrical energy from the voltage surge to the ground or neutral conductor with which it is connected. The electrical surge protection device advantageously further includes a shield apparatus that is structured to restrain an increased ambient pressure and that is electrically conductive and is electrically connected with the ground or neutral conductor.

Abstract: A lock pin assembly is provided. The lock pin assembly is structured to coupled a panel board device to a panel board. The panel board device includes a body defining a number of mounting passages. The lock pin assembly includes an elongated body, a first radial extension, and, in an exemplary embodiment, a biasing device. The lock pin body is rotatably disposed in the panel board device mounting passage. The lock pin body is moved between an unlocked, first radial position, wherein said first radial extension does not engage a panel board back plate mounting tab, and a locked, second radial position, wherein said first radial extension engages a panel board back plate mounting tab.

Abstract: A circuit breaker is described herein that provides a ready visual and haptic indicator of prior use. The circuit breaker comprises a breaker body comprising insulative material. The circuit breaker further comprises a first mounting hole and a second mounting hole, the mounting holes having an inner circumferential dimension presenting a passage and adapted for slidable receipt of a power source. An interrupter is in communication with the first mounting hole and the second mounting hole, with the interrupter operable to terminate electrical flow outside configured parameters. An insert comprises a lip, an arm, a neck, and a tab, the lip being fixed to the breaker body and a first end of an arm. The arm's angularly orientation and length is configured for selective placement of said tab relative to said passage of said mounting hole. The neck is composed of deformable material and joined to second end of said arm. The tab is joined to the neck and coaxially aligned with the passage.

Abstract: A trip indicator of a circuit breaker is set to the tripped position through engagement by the cradle, which is unlatched by the trip mechanism. Even though the cradle is automatically reset by a reset spring, the trip member indicator is retained in the tripped position by an indicator spring. The trip indicator member is returned to the untripped position by a reset member on the circuit breaker operating member as the latter is rotated by the circuit breaker handle to the ON position. The trip indicating member is transversely displaced through an out of round pivot mount as the operating member is rotated to the off position before the cradle unlatches when the circuit breaker blows open in response to a short circuit.

Abstract: A removable quick connect terminal for an electric power switch has a molded housing with an open cavity and an electrically conductive terminal member with a plurality of male terminations that project through slots in a cavity wall in the housing into the open cavity. The terminal member has a tang projecting outward from the housing that is clamped by a conventional collar terminal to a power conductor of the switch projecting into an external terminal recess in the molded switch casing. The terminal member is secured to the molded housing by a pair of oppositely facing chamfered catches engaging an opening in the flat center section of the terminal member. The molded housing of the quick connect terminal has hooks which engage abutment surfaces on the switch casing and a pair of integral compliant latches which engage latch ledges in the external terminal recess to removably secure the housing to the switch casing.
