REMOTE ACTUATOR MOUNTING BRACKET TO PREVENT INADVERTENT BREAKER OPERATION

摘要

A bracket that is attached to a circuit breaker, or circuit breaker enclosure, is designed to allow a remote actuator assembly to be temporarily installed on the breaker. The bracket is designed in such a manner that, once installed, it will allow a human operator to attach a remote actuator assembly to the mounting bracket and that the process of attaching the actuator will not inadvertently cause the breaker to be “opened” or “closed”.
