Appl. No.:

5/612604

Inventors:

Brij M. Bharteey - Bolingbrook IL
Neal E. Rowe - Oak Forest IL

Assignee:

Westinghouse Electric Corporation - Pittsburgh PA

International Classification:

H01H 142

US Classification:

200254

Abstract:

A stab assembly for a circuit interrupter for use in drawout switchgear characterized by a circuit breaker movable into and out of contact with bus bars and having spaced terminals in substantial alignment with the bus bars, each terminal comprising a base and a pair of flexible contacts disposed on opposite sides of an axis and engageable with opposite sides of a bus bar, the base comprising lateral portions extending from the sides of the axis corresponding to the flexible contacts, a dielectric housing in which the base is pivotally mounted to affect rotation laterally of said axis, and the housing having a projection spaced from each lateral portion for limiting rotation therein.

Filed:

Sep 11, 1975

Appl. No.:

5/612524

Inventors:

Jerome C. Wolski - Downers Grove IL
Neal E. Rowe - Oak Forest IL

Assignee:

Westinghouse Electric Corporation - Pittsburgh PA

International Classification:

H02B 114

US Classification:

361334

Abstract:

A control center characterized by an upright cabinet in which a plurality of vertical bus bars are disposed which bus bars are encased in a pair of planar molded barriers of insulative material which are in tight surface-to-surface contact with the bus bars for extracting heat therefrom. Openings are provided in the barriers to enable access to the bus bars at spaced intervals corresponding to the spacing between contacts on circuit interrupters located within the cabinet. Shutter means for closing the openings when the circuit interrupter is withdrawn from the cabinet are provided and the shutter means comprises a level projecting into the path of travel of the circuit interrupter for moving the shutter means to an open position when the circuit interrupter is inserted into the cabinet.

Assignee:

Westinghouse Electric Corp. - Pittsburgh PA

International Classification:

H02G 506
H02B 120

US Classification:

174 72B

Abstract:

A control center characterized by horizontal bus bars having electrically insulating covers thereon which covers are in surface-to-surface contact with the surfaces of the bus bars except for removable surface portions for providing electrical connection with vertical bus bars, the removable surface portions being disposed in a pattern to enable alignment of said removable portions with the vertical bus bars when the barriers are assembled with the horizontal bus bars in either upright or inverted positions.
