Abstract: An earth leakage breaker has a case, a handle protruding from the case, a cradle for determining stable positions of the handle, and a movable finger including a movable contact at a bottom portion of the movable finger. The movable finger is pivotally jointed to the handle at a protrusion provided on a lower side of the handle. An extension spring spans between the cradle and the movable finger, and a top-end swinging trigger plate is provided for engaging the cradle. The trigger plate has a fulcrum at a bottom portion thereof, and a test button and a leak trip solenoid are adjacently arranged at a top portion of the case, with the leak trip solenoid having a trip piece engaged with a contact portion formed on a top portion of the trigger plate for effecting circuit breaking due to a leak.
