Abstract

An arc fault circuit breaker includes a housing, separable contacts mounted within the housing, an operating mechanism structured to open the separable contacts when actuated, and a trip assembly including an arc fault trip mechanism structured to generate a trip signal in response to detecting an arc fault. The trip assembly is structured to actuate the operating mechanism in response to the trip signal. A contact clip spring is structured to mechanically couple and electrically connect the circuit interrupter to a neutral bar. The contact clip spring is in electrical communication with the arc fault trip mechanism.
