Filed:

Jul 12, 2000

Appl. No.:

09/614571

Inventors:

Ralph M. Ennis - Imperial PA
James R. Farley - Pittsburgh PA
Rufus L. Barnes - Cranberry Township PA
John A. Wafer - Moon Township PA

Assignee:

Eaton Corporation - Cleveland OH

International Classification:

H02H 300

US Classification:

361 42, 335 18

Abstract:

A miniature circuit breaker incorporating ground fault protection and arc fault protection includes main separable contacts. An operating mechanism actuated by a trip mechanism opens the main separable contacts in response to predetermined current conditions. Auxiliary separable contacts are disposed in series with the main separable contacts. A solenoid having a movable plunger opens and closes the auxiliary separable contacts in response to a remote external signal. A ground fault trip circuit detects a ground fault, and an arc fault trip circuit detects an arc fault. An actuator mechanism, energizable by the ground fault trip circuit and the arc fault trip circuit, actuates the plunger to open the auxiliary separable contacts.

International Classification:

G01R 13/02
G01R 21/133

Abstract:

A meter or display device for at least one power circuit zone. The device includes a processor having a plurality of dynamic inputs, a routine and an output. The routine is structured to input the dynamic inputs, calculate incident energy of one power circuit zone of the at least one power circuit zone, and output the output. A display is structured to display at least the calculated incident energy from the output of the processor.
