Wireless system for one or more electrical switching devices

A system (300; 350; 390; 410; 440) for displaying information from or for controlling an electric switching device, said system comprising: at least one electrical switching device (302; 420, 422), the separable contacts (304) and a plurality of states (306, 308, 310); a plurality of sensors (312, 314, 316) that are structured to sense at least some of the states of the at least one electrical switching apparatus and for communicating the sensed at least some of the states of corresponding wireless signals (318, 320, 322 ); and a unit (324) operatively associated with the at least one electrical switching device, wherein the unit is structured to receive the corresponding wireless signals and for displaying information corresponding to at least one of the sensed at least some of the conditions or for controlling the at least one electrical switching device based on at least one of the sensed at least some of the states.
