GROUNDED CIRCUIT BREAKER PANEL ELECTRICAL MODULE AND METHOD FOR GROUNDING SAME

摘要

A circuit breaker module (4, 6) is provided. The circuit breaker module (4, 6) includes: a frame assembly (80), a faceplate assembly (100), and a number of circuit breakers (34), the circuit breakers (34) having an electrically conductive surface and an extending handle (39), the frame assembly (80) having a front member (82) and a back member (84), the frame assembly front member (82) and the frame assembly back member (84) being spaced from each other and defining an enclosed space (86), the frame assembly front member (82) being electrically conductive, the faceplate assembly (100) having an electrically conductive faceplate (110), the faceplate (1100 being a planar member (112) with a number of openings (118) therein, the faceplate (110) coupled to the frame assembly front member (82), the circuit breaker (34) disposed in the frame assembly enclosed space (86), and wherein the circuit breaker (34) is in electrical communication with the faceplate (110) and the frame assembly front member (82), whereby a current may pass from the circuit breaker (34) to the frame assembly front member (82).
