LAMINATED COPPER ASSEMBLY

摘要

A laminated contact assembly for a circuit breaker with each individual contact assembly having a contact arm portion, carrying a movable main or arching contact and a stationary conductor portion. A flexible shunt connects the contact arm portion to the stationary conductor portion. Intermediate individual contact assemblies are provided with T-shaped slots for receiving square-headed fasteners. This avoids the need to drill and tap holes in the laminated contact arm assembly. Since the individual contact arm assemblies are fastened together, the square-headed fasteners disposed in T-shaped slots in intermediate individual contact arm assemblies is greatly reduced. The flexible shunt is wound from a continuous strip of an electrical conductor.
