Abstract:
A mounting system for a circuit breaker of the type comprising a circuit breaker body including internal breaking components, a winding elongated connection and a low tension elongated connection, a fixed break contact and a movable break contact, mounted in a hinged fashion on the circuit breaker body, having an actuator rod, and an overload actuator having an actuator pin; said mounting system comprising:a mounting box comprising a mounting wall having an internal face;an angular mounting plate, including a planar portion retained to the internal face of the mounting wall of the mounting box, and an angular portion at about 200.degree. in which the circuit breaker body is retained at an angle substantially perpendicular to regarding the planar portion of the mounting plate and to the internal face of the mounting wall of the mounting box;a mechanical breaker actuator handle, retained to the mounting wall of the mounting box, including a short actuator bar having a first end coupled to the mechanical breaker actuator handle, and a second end passing through the mounting wall of the mounting box;a short actuator rod having a first end coupled to the second end of the actuator bar of the mechanical breaker actuator handle, and a second end coupled to a movable break contact of the circuit breaker, in order to operate the movable breaker contact against a fixed breaker contact, on and off, by a rotational operation of the mechanical breaker actuator handle; anda short overload actuator handle including a short overload actuate bar having a first end coupled to the overload actuator handle, and a second end passing through the mounting wall of the mounting box; anda link arm coupled to the second end of the overload actuator bar, in order to operate an overload actuator, on and off, by a rotational operation of the overload actuator handle.
