Abstract
A circuit breaker includes a recessed zone in the breaker housing for accommodating the bus clip of a mating circuit breaker when the breakers are mounted adjacent one to another on a panelboard. An arcuate groove of varying depths formed in the breaker housing communicates at its lower end with the recessed zone to permit the bus clip of the mating breaker to be moved from the recessed zone and along the arcuate groove, such that the mating breaker can be readily removed from, or installed into, the panelboard.
