Patent ID: 8582279

Claim:
A main circuit breaker structured to be mounted on a chassis, the chassis comprising a mounting surface facing the main circuit breaker, the mounting surface being disposed in a first plane, the main circuit breaker comprising: one or more openings on a side wall section of the main circuit breaker, the one or more openings providing access to conductive contact points of the main circuit breaker, the conductive contact points of the main circuit breaker being connectable with one or more bus plates disposed parallel to the first plane, the side wall section facing the one or more bus plates when connected; and plug-on clips made of conductive material and removably connectable with the conductive contact points of the main circuit breaker in the one or more openings, the plug-on clips being electrically connectable with the main circuit breaker and removably connectable with the one or more bus plates; wherein the one or more openings terminate at an exterior surface of the side wall section, the exterior surface being disposed in a second plane normal to the first plane; wherein the main circuit breaker further comprises another exterior surface opposite the exterior surface, the another exterior surface being disposed in a third plane, the third plane being normal to the first plane and parallel to the second plane; wherein the one or more bus plates include an end section structured to terminate between the second plane and the third plane; and wherein each of the plug-on clips forms an opening structured to receive the end section of a corresponding one of the one or more bus plates and facing in a direction parallel to the first plane.
