Embodiment Construction

[0073] The following disclosure is intended to provide exemplary embodiments of the disclosed systems and methods and these exemplary embodiments should not be construed as limiting. Those of ordinary skill in the art will appreciate that the disclosed steps and methods can be readily reordered and manipulated into many configurations so long as they are not mutually exclusive. "a" and "an" ("one") as used herein may refer to a single or a plurality of items, and should not be construed exclusively as singular unless expressly stated.

[0074] A circuit breaker and panel arrangement is disclosed that utilizes mechanical connections for all input and output electrical connections. The concept allows the panel to be fully wired without circuit breakers installed. The circuit breaker can then engage and be retained by the panel through the mechanical connection so that no reliance on the electrical connection is required for the circuit breaker to be stabilized or retained. A s...

Abstract

A circuit breaker and panel system includes a panel including a base plate having a plurality of base plate electrical connections. The circuit breaker includes a housing having a plurality of circuit breaker electrical connections arranged to contact the base plate electrical connections when the circuit breaker is coupled to the base plate. A circuit breaker is rotatably coupled to the base plate via a pivot joint for engaging the plurality of base plate electrical connections with the plurality of circuit breaker electrical connections according to a predetermined electrical connection coupling sequence. One of the housing and the base plate includes a protrusion and the other of the housing and the base plate includes a corresponding recess that when engaged with each other retains the housing on the base plate to prevent The circuit breaker moves in reverse rotation relative to the base plate.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates generally to circuit breaker and panel systems, and more particularly to circuit breaker and panel systems in which the circuit breaker snaps into the panel and is thus mechanically retained to the panel such that the circuit breaker does not need to be Any electrical connections between the panels are individually maintained. Background technique [0002] In a traditional power distribution system, power from a utility may be fed to a load center, which in turn feeds a series of branch circuits. To provide a high level of protection for branch circuits, a load center may include a main circuit breaker to control the supply of power from the main source to the branch circuit. To protect individual branch circuits, the load center may include separate circuit breakers for each branch circuit. [0003] Conventional circuit breakers are typically coupled to associated load centers by wire and screw connections. These conn...
