摘要： A circuit breaker for a multi-pole electrical distribution circuit includes a cassette associated with each pole in the multi-pole electrical distribution circuit. Each cassette includes a housing, a pair of electrical contacts disposed in the housing, and a thermal and magnetic trip unit supported by the housing. The housing includes a first compartment having the electrical contacts disposed therein and a second compartment having at least a portion of the thermal and magnetic trip unit disposed therein. A wall separates the first and second compartments for isolating the second compartment from gasses generated by separation of the first and second contacts. A duct adjacent to the second compartment allows the gasses to pass to an exterior portion of the housing. The housing includes a pair of opposing slots formed therein for receiving edges of a load terminal. A lever has a first end disposed proximate an end of a bimetallic element and a second end disposed proximate an armature in the magnetic assembly of the trip unit. The lever is rotated by at least one of the bimetallic element and the armature to unlatch an operating mechanism.

摘要： A thermal and magnetic trip unit for a multi-pole circuit breaker includes a thermal structure having a bimetallic element and one or more heater elements. Each of the heater elements and a portion of the bimetallic element is generally "U" shaped defining a conductive path which extends from one leg of the U to the other leg. The heater elements and bimetallic element may be configured in parallel to reduce the level of current flowing through the bimetallic element and thus increase the current level at which the bimetallic element will trip the breaker. Alternatively, the heater elements may be configured in series with the bimetallic element, by inserting electrical insulators between the bimetallic element and each of the heater elements and connecting the various "U" shaped elements using a connecting bus which connects the second leg of one element to the first leg of the next element. In this configuration, the thermal structure defines a coil having one turns for each heater element and the bimetallic element. This coil may be used to implement a magnetic trip structure by inserting one or two magnetically permeable yokes, each yoke surrounding one leg of the combined thermal structure. An armature is positioned to be separated from the yoke by a gap such that, when the armature is pulled toward the yoke, it will engage the trip unit. In addition, the trip unit includes a calibration and adjustment bar that allows the gap to be adjusted as well as the force exerted on the armature by a biasing spring. The calibration and adjustment bar also allows each pole of the circuit breaker to be independently calibrated.

摘要： A reverse deflection prevention arrangement is provided for use in a circuit breaker for preventing a bimetal from bending in a direction opposite its normal thermal deflection. The reverse deflection prevention arrangement includes a tab portion extending from a yoke and a corresponding block member disposed on the inside surface of a circuit breaker cover. The tab portion engages the block member when the bimetal is forced to deflect in the direction opposite its normal deflection. An alternate embodiment of the reverse deflection prevention arrangement includes a reinforcement member secured to one end of the bimetal. The reinforcement member strengthens and supports the bimetal so that it is prevented from bending in the direction opposite its normal thermal deflection.

摘要： An improved tripping mechanism for use in a circuit breaker wherein magnetic tripping is responsive to low levels of overcurrent by limiting the depth of engagement of a trip lever of a cradle with respect to the latch engagement tab of the armature. Responsiveness of the magnetic tripping is enhanced by positioning of the magnetic yoke adjacent to the bimetallic member while at the same time being movable with respect to the bimetallic member. Positioning the magnetic member independently of the position of the bimetallic member facilitates having magnetic tripping responsive to low overcurrent conditions while at the same time allowing thermal tripping by movement of the bimetallic member to be fully maintained.
