The SB breakers incorporate several installation, operation and
safety features.
Insulated - Encased Construction
The SB breaker’s housing, internal barrier, and front cover are
molded froma thermoset material witha high-dielectric strength
(electrical insulation). The one piece molded case (base and hous-
ing) provides enhanced structural integrity. A midbarrier provides
outer wall reinforcement, integral arc baffling, and insulation/
isolation between the two compartments of the circuit breaker.
This patented construction provides a higher interrupting capacity
within a smaller housing than can be achieved by more conven-
tional construction. The electrical insulation property of the
thermoset material enhances operational safety. The insulated
case physically isolates and electrically insulates users from the
internal high voltage contacts.
The arc chambers and main contact structure are encased in the
back compartment. The trip unit, controls, springs of the stored
energy mechanism, and optional internal accessories are located
in the front compartment. Access to the front compartment is
by the removable front cover. Since the barrier between the two
compartments is made from the same insulating thermoset mate-
rial as the housing, the user is physically isolated and electrically
isolated from the main breaker mechanism and contacts when
the front cover is removed.
