Abstract
A faceplate for use in a panel for electrical switching apparatus includes a generally planar member having a first surface, an opposite second surface and a number of apertures disposed through the first surface and the opposite second surface. Each aperture is configured to receive an actuatable mechanism of an electrical switching apparatus. The faceplate further includes a number of inclined features, each extending from the opposite second surface about a respective aperture of the number of apertures. At least one inclined feature includes an inclined surface disposed opposite the opposite second surface of the generally planar member. The inclined surface is disposed at a non-zero angle with respect to the generally planar member.
