Adjustable rating plug - correct answer ✔✔A component which plugs into a trip unit
establishing the ampere rating of a circuit breaker
Arcing contact - correct answer ✔✔Auxiliary contacts designed to prevent the main contacts
from being damaged
Alternating Current (AC) - correct answer ✔✔electric current that reverses its direction of flow
in a regular pattern
