Patent ID: 8369052

Claim:
A trip bar within an electrical circuit breaker including two thermal-mechanical electrical circuit breaker modules and an arc fault and ground fault combined detector/interrupter circuit module, wherein the trip bar comprises: a first interface pad to be in contact with a first armature of a first of the two thermal-mechanical electrical circuit breaker modules; a second interface pad to be in contact with a second armature of a second of the two thermal-mechanical electrical circuit breaker modules; a first pivot post in contact with an inner surface of a cover of the arc fault and ground fault combined detector/interrupter module; a second pivot post in contact with an inner surface of a cover of the second thermal-mechanical electrical circuit breaker module; and an armature bearing surface that is impacted with a plunger from the arc fault and ground fault combined detector/interrupter module to rotate the trip bar to cause the two thermal-mechanical electrical circuit breaker modules to trip.
