Publication number: 20090072933Abstract: This invention pertains to an automatic single- or multi-pole circuit breaker (1) for use in lowvoltage applications. The circuit breaker (1) includes at least a first fixed contact (10) that is coupled/uncoupled with a first moving contact (20). The latter is operatively connected to an operating mechanism (5) that enables its displacement. The circuit breaker (1) according to the invention includes a kinematic tripping device driven by means of a first separating movement of the moving contact (20) away from the fixed contact (10). The kinematic tripping device includes an operative member capable of tripping the operating mechanism (5), which in turn takes effect on the moving contact (20), thus determining a second rapid separating movement until the circuit breaker tripped position is reached.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 18, 2005Publication date: March 19, 2009Applicant: ABB Services S.r.IInventors: Luigi Bonetti, Nicola Bresciani
