Circuit breaker including current path geometries that increase contact popping level

Abstract

A circuit breaker includes a housing, and a movable contact arm arranged in the housing. The movable contact arm includes a movable contact. A stationary contact assembly is arranged in the housing. The stationary contact assembly includes a base member including a first side and an opposing, second side. An anti-popping recess having a wall portion formed in one of the first and second sides and defines a cantilevered arm portion. A stationary contact member extends from the first side toward the second side.
