A pressure redirection barrier for an electrical breaker comprising: a first segment including a first side section, a second side section and a bottom section, the first and second side sections and bottom section being coupled to each other so as to form a first generally U-shaped structure; characterised in that: a second segment being coupled to the first side section so as to extend outwardly from the first side section and at an angle with respect to the first side section; a third segment being coupled to the second side section so as to extend outwardly from the second side section and at an angle with respect to the second side section; a fourth segment being coupled to the second segment so as to extend outwardly from the second segment and at an angle with respect to the second segment such that gas, resulting from tripping of the electrical breaker, flowing along a surface of the second segment is redirected at an angle with respect to the second segment surface; and a fifth segment being coupled to the third segment so as to extend outwardly from the third segment and at an angle with respect to the third segment such that gas flowing along a surface of the third segment is redirected at an angle with respect to the third segment surface. a first segment including a first side section, a second side section and a bottom section, the first and second side sections and bottom section being coupled to each other so as to form a first generally U-shaped structure; characterised in that: a second segment being coupled to the first side section so as to extend outwardly from the first side section and at an angle with respect to the first side section; a third segment being coupled to the second side section so as to extend outwardly from the second side section and at an angle with respect to the second side section; a fourth segment being coupled to the second segment so as to extend outwardly from the second segment and at an angle with respect to the second segment such that gas, resulting from tripping of the electrical breaker, flowing along a surface of the second segment is redirected at an angle with respect to the second segment surface; and a fifth segment being coupled to the third segment so as to extend outwardly from the third segment and at an angle with respect to the third segment such that gas flowing along a surface of the third segment is redirected at an angle with respect to the third segment surface. a second segment being coupled to the first side section so as to extend outwardly from the first side section and at an angle with respect to the first side section; a third segment being coupled to the second side section so as to extend outwardly from the second side section and at an angle with respect to the second side section; a fourth segment being coupled to the second segment so as to extend outwardly from the second segment and at an angle with respect to the second segment such that gas, resulting from tripping of the electrical breaker, flowing along a surface of the second segment is redirected at an angle with respect to the second segment surface; and a fifth segment being coupled to the third segment so as to extend outwardly from the third segment and at an angle with respect to the third segment such that gas flowing along a surface of the third segment is redirected at an angle with respect to the third segment surface.
