Configurable electrical switching apparatus including a plurality of separable contacts and a plurality of field-configurable jumpers to provide a number of poles

摘要

An electrical switching apparatus (100;200;300;400) includes at least one pole (102;202;302;402); a plurality of first terminals (104;204;304;404); a plurality of second terminals (106;206;306;406); a plurality of pairs of separable contacts (108;208;308;408); and a plurality of field-configurable jumpers (110;210;310;410). Each of the plurality of field-configurable jumpers electrically connects two of the pairs of separable contacts in series. Each of the plurality of field-configurable jumpers are electrically connected to: (a) two of the first terminals (204), (b) two of the first terminals (304;404) or two of the second terminals (306;406); or (c) one of the first terminals (104) and one of the second terminals (106).
