Abstract

A bracket assembly has rearwardly projecting metal wings mounted in a plastic cover plate. The circuit breaker is normally rear mounted in a panel. The cover plate is secured to the breaker with fasteners that secure the metal wings to the breaker housing. The metal wings have legs slidably received in the plastic cover plate providing a convenient subassembly for mounting the breaker from the front of a panel.
