Abstract: An overcurrent tripping device of an electrical switch for interrupting a current flow in an electrical circuit in the event of the occurrence of an overload or a short circuit is disclosed. In an embodiment, the overcurrent tripping device includes a thermal tripping device and a magnetic tripping device. A magnetic tripping device is disclosed which, in an embodiment, includes at least one yoke element for generating a magnetic field, an armature element responding to the magnetic field, and a spring element. The armature element is arranged on an armature carrier element, separated from the yoke element, by way of a first armature element end and is mounted pivotably about an armature element rotation axis. In addition, an electrical switch including an overcurrent tripping device, and a method for calibrating magnetic tripping of a magnetic tripping device of an electrical switch, are disclosed.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention relate to a knob element and a slide element of an adjusting apparatus, to an adjusting apparatus, and to a method for adjusting a position of a thermal tripping shaft as well as to a thermal magnetic trip unit and an electrical switch for interrupting a current flow of an electric current in an electrical circuit in the event of the occurrence of a tripping event, having the adjusting apparatus, which has a rotatably mounted knob element and a tangentially movably mounted slide element. In at least one embodiment, the knob element and the slide element are operatively connected in such a way that the rotary movement of the knob element becomes a tangential movement of the slide element.
