Claim:
A handle arm assembly for a circuit interrupter including an undervoltage release, said undervoltage release comprising an undervoltage relay comprising a plunger that is extended to a trip position when voltage in a protected circuit drops below a predetermined value, and a reset mechanism that retracts the plunger when actuated, said handle arm assembly comprising: a body portion rotatable through an arc between an on position, an off position, and a reset position beyond the off position; and an arm portion projecting laterally from the body portion out of the plane of the arc through which the body portion rotates, said arm portion being structured to engage said reset mechanism in a manner such that arcuate movement of the arm portion as the body portion moves to the off position is translated into actuation of the reset mechanism, wherein said body portion and said arm portion are formed from a single piece of material; wherein said body portion and said arm portion are different portions of said single piece of material; wherein the single piece of material includes an elongated opening between said body portion and an elongated portion corresponding to said arm portion; and wherein said elongated portion is disposed perpendicular to said body portion to form said arm portion.
