Abstract: An improved interruption apparatus includes a plurality of poles, with each of the poles including an actuator. In one embodiment, the actuator can be a fuse having a movable engagement element, and in another embodiment the actuator can be an electric coil that is operable to move a movable engagement element. The interruption apparatus has a single trip unit, and the engagement element of any actuator can actuate the trip unit to move all of the poles from a CLOSED state to an OPEN state.

Abstract: An interruption apparatus includes a first portion having a trip unit and a second portion having a detection system. The first and second portions are individually selectable based upon the particular application and are then movable from a detached configuration to a connected configuration. The first and second portions are selected from a plurality of first portions and second portions having different specifications. A desired first portion having a first interruption rating and a desired second portion having detection capabilities that are suited to the particular application can be assembled together to provide a field-configurable interruption apparatus.
