ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to a high ampere-rated circuit breaker which meets the electrical code requirements of the world market. The charging of the powerful closing springs controlling the circuit breaker contacts is made manually by means of a ratchet and pawl assembly. A logic plate interacts with a logic lever, an interlock link and a closing link to prevent the circuit breaker closing button from operating until and unless the closing springs have become fully-charged.
