A status indicating assembly (100) is provided for an electrical switching apparatus (2), such as a circuit breaker. The circuit breaker includes a housing (4), separable contacts (6) enclosed by the housing (4), and an operating mechanism (8) for opening and closing the separable contacts. The operating mechanism comprises a stored energy mechanism (10) and a primary latch (12). The primary latch is pivotable between a latched position corresponding to the stored energy mechanism being chargeable, and an unlatched position corresponding to the stored energy mechanism being discharged. The status indicating assembly includes a first indicator (102) for indicating whether the separable contacts are open or closed, a second indicator (104) for indicating whether the stored energy mechanism is charged or discharged, and a third indicator (106) for indicating whether or not the circuit breaker is ready to close the separable contacts. |
