Molded case current limiting circuit breaker.

摘要

A molded case circuit braker comprising a molded housing, a plurality of pairs of separable main contacts carried within said housing, each pair defining a movably mounted main contact and means for cooperating with said movably mounted main contacts which forms a fixed main contact portion, a plurality of movably mounted contact arms for carrying saidmovably mounted main contacts, rotatably mounted for movement defining a closed position, an open position, a trip position, and a blow open position, an operating mechanism, and a substantially flat line said conductor (300) for carrying said fixed main contact portions (312) defining a contact portion adjacent one end forming a line side terminal on an opposing end, said line conductor including means (321) for reversing the direction of electrical flow (330) in saind cooperating means relative to the direction of electrical current flow (326,328) from the line side terninal when the circuit breaker is in a closed position, in which said line side conductor is formed as a substantially flat rectangular member defining a longitudinal axis and transverse axis. <IMAGE>
