Abstract

A circuit breaker assembly includes a lug assembly with a main structural body having cable holes extending through a cable-receiving face, the cable holes including a first cable hole separated by a second cable hole from a third cable hole. Each of the cable holes is configured to receive a respective power cable. The structural body further includes wire-binding holes extending at least in part through a wire-binding face, the wire-binding holes including a first wire-binding hole separated by a second wire-binding hole from a third wire-binding hole. The first wire-binding hole has a first longitudinal axis at an angle that intersects a third longitudinal axis of the third wire-binding hole. A fastener is inserted through the second wire-binding hole, the fastener having an hourglass section with a contour that generally matches at least in part a corresponding contour of the first cable hole and the third cable hole.
