Adaptor for circuit breaker

1. An adaptor for a circuit breaker which comprises an electrically conductive support member (10) formed to be attachable to a circuit breaker (16), having a portion (10b, 12a) to be electrically connectable within a cable entry (14) of the circuit breaker (16), and an electrically conductive connector member (11, 12), carried by the support member (10) and electrically connected thereto, or integrally formed therewith (12, 12a). An electrically insulative cover member (13) may be provided engagable with the opposed sides of the circuit breaker (16) to cover the support member (10) and cable entry (14) at the edge of the circuit breaker (16), in use.

Residential load centre with partition wall

ABSTRACT: An electrical consumer unit comprises a moulded plastics baseplate (10) and a cover member (280), the baseplate (10) being adapted to mount a live busbar (24) and a neutral bar (90) to which a main, power-supply switch (196) and a plurality of circuit-breakers (212), for protecting a number of outgoing sub-circuits may be mounted. The unit is particularly intended for use with plug-in type switches and circuit breakers whereby a clip for mounting the switch also establishes electrical connection with the live busbar (24) and neutral bar (90). The present invention concerns a flexible plastic cover piece (252), adapted to clip onto the baseplate (10) in order to shield unused portions of the live busbar (24) against accidental contact.

The unit is particularly intended for use with plug-in type switches and circuit breakers whereby a clip for mounting the switch also establishes electrical connection with the live busbar (24) and neutral bar (90). The present invention concerns an arrangement, comprising mouldings (46 and 48) of the baseplate (10) and a clip member (108), for retaining the live busbar (24) and neutral bar (90) in position.

Adapter for mounting rail in a residential load centre

ABSTRACT: An electrical consumer unit comprises a moulded plastics baseplate (10) and a cover member (280), the baseplate (10) being adapted to mount a live busbar (24) and a neutral bar (90) to which a main, power-supply switch (196) and a plurality of circuit-breakers (212), for protecting a number of outgoing sub-circuits may be mounted. The unit is particularly intended for use with plug-in type switches and circuit breakers whereby a clip for mounting the switch also establishes electrical connection with the live busbar (24) and neutral bar (90). The present invention concerns an adaptor (300) which may be mounted on the baseplate (10) to allow the utilisation of components and accessories other than those for which the unit was specifically configured.
