CA 2300532

A circuit breaker mounting arrangement for use in a device such as a transfer switch includes a mounting member adapted for securement to the transfer switch. The circuit breaker includes a head portion having a reset member, and a rearwardly extending body portion which terminates in a rear end wall from which a pair of contact prongs extend. A mounting member is provided for each circuit breaker, and includes an internal recess or cavity adapted to receive the circuit breaker body portion. The mounting member further includes an end wall which in part defines the recess, and a pair of engagement members are mounted to the end wall. The engagement members are configured to receive the circuit breaker prongs when the circuit breaker is inserted into the passage of the mounting member, for establishing an electrical connection between the circuit breaker prongs and the engagement members. Each engagement member includes an external connection area adapted to be wired into the circuitry of the transfer switch, and the circuit breakers can be removed from the mounting members and selectively replaced as required without the need to disassemble the transfer switch to remove the circuit breaker from the electrical circuitry.
