Abstract
A multi-pole circuit breaker is formed from a modular array of single-pole circuit breakers. The individual circuit breaker operating handles are ganged together by means of a handle connector placed over the individual circuit breaker operating handles. The handle connector has a U-shaped central part flanked by a pair of C-shaped parts disposed on the outside portions thereof to facilitate switching the individual operating handles in unison.
