  • COMPACT DUAL FEEDERS FOR CIRCUIT BREAKERS AND RELATED BUCKETS AND MOTOR CONTROL CENTERS (MCCs)
    Publication number: 20160322791
    Abstract: Dual starters and/or feeders are positioned in a unit housing to be offset from one another in a front to back direction to provide a compact configuration for a MCC cabinet. The dual starters or feeders can communicate with a respective external handle attached to an inwardly oriented shaft. The handles can be rotary handles that connect to a respective gear assembly that transforms rotational input to linear input.

  • Disconnect operating handles suitable for circuit breakers and related bucket assemblies
    Patent number: 9484163
    Abstract: Disconnect operating handles for circuit breakers are configured with a rotary handle attached to an inwardly oriented shaft that connects to a gear assembly that translates rotational input to linear input. The disconnect operating handles include pivoting lockout levers that automatically “pop” out to expose the lockout space for a padlock when a user touches the lever in an appropriate location.
