Abstract
An electrical switching apparatus including a housing, a circuit interrupter mechanism movably disposed in the housing, and a damper assembly. The damper assembly includes a bracket that secures the damper assembly to the housing. A damper body is adjustably secured to the bracket. A stopper is coupled to the damper body and arranged to limit relative movement of the circuit interrupter mechanism with respect to the damper assembly. A damper rod extends through an opening in the stopper and has a surface that is arranged to interact with the circuit interrupter mechanism. The damper rod is arranged to damp movement of the circuit interrupter mechanism with respect to the damper body when the circuit interrupter mechanism is in contact with the surface of the damper rod.
