ABSTRACT:
Microswitches, mounted in a compartment and molded housing of a circuit breaker separate from the compartment in which the circuit breaker mechanism is mounted, are actuated to indicate the operating status of the circuit breaker by cascaded first and second actuating members. The first actuating member bears against a cam surface on an operating member of the circuit breaker where the cam surface actuates the microswitches through the first actuating member when the operating member is in the off position. The second actuating member engages a cradle of the circuit breaker and actuates the microswitches through the first actuating member when the cradle is unlatched.
