Abstract
A circuit breaker designed for automated assembly includes pairs of fixed and movable contacts, the latter carried by a carrier mounted for reciprocating movement in the breaker case. Operating and trip mechanism parts are mounted on a frame positioned in the case. A handle slideably mounted by the case actuates the operating mechanism to open and closed circuit positions. A fixture is utilized with the frame for calibrating the thermal trip setting and for partial assembly of the operating mechanism.
