Abstract
An improved housing structure for a circuit interrupter. The interrupter mechanisms are mounted upon the upper surface of a platform which serves to divide the housing into upper and lower, high- and low-voltage compartments. The platform is provided with a series of vertically-depending bracing plates which carry a cross shaft for operating the interrupters. An operator mechanism is coupled to the cross shaft and hangs downwardly from the platform so that forces generated in opening and closing the interrupters are not transmitted to the housing structure but rather are contained within the platform assembly.
