    摘要: A circuit breaker includes a housing, an operating mechanism, and a cassette. The cassette includes a separable current path having a movable contact arm, two arc receptors each disposed for receiving an electrical arc in response to a short circuit overcurrent condition, and two slot motors each disposed proximate the movable contact arm for magnetically driving the movable contact arm to a blown open position in response to a short circuit overcurrent condition. The slot motors each have two side legs opposing each other and defining a space therebetween for receiving the movable contact arm, each side leg having a magnetic core and an insulative layer and being biased toward the interior of the side walls of the cassette, wherein each side leg is restrained from being magnetically attracted toward the movable contact arm during a short circuit condition.

    摘要: A trip system for a circuit breaker includes a current sensor and a stop surface, the current sensor having a contact surface, a first end that is supported, and a second end with a degree of freedom. The current sensor, arranged for receiving an electric current, undergoes a first deflection in response to a first current and a second deflection in response to a second current, the first deflection resulting in clearance between the contact surface and the stop surface, and the second deflection resulting in contact between the contact surface and the stop surface.

    摘要: A decreased mechanical trip time latching system for use in a molded case circuit breaker assembly. The latching system comprising a quick release primary latch having a first primary latching surface and a second primary latching surface. Where the second primary latching surface engages a first secondary latching surface located on an interactive secondary latch, to prevent the rotation of the quick release primary latch. The first primary latching surface engages a cradle latching surface, located on a cradle, to prevent the rotation of the cradle. Assembled to the interactive secondary latch is a trip bar. Activation of the trip bar rotates the secondary latch so that the first secondary latching surface moves out of contact with the second primary latching surface just prior to the interactive secondary latch making physical contact with the quick release primary latch. The quick release primary latch then rotates moving the first primary latching surface out of contact with the cradle latching surface thereby releasing the cradle. The cradle rotates and the operating system is activated to terminate current flow.
