A breaker mechanism for an electrical circuit breaker is disclosed, the breaker mechanism including a spring, a latching mechanism and an actuating element, with which a breaker shaft of the electrical circuit breaker is actuated for breaking (OFF position) or making (ON position) the electric current. In an embodiment, the actuating element is actuated in the direction of the ON position when making the electric current, and the spring is thereby tensioned. Further, the latching mechanism releases the energy of the spring for actuating the breaker shaft of the electrical circuit breaker when the ON position is reached.

A unipolar switching module made of insulating material and including an incorporated thermomagnetic tripping set, and/or a current measurer and power supply set for an electronic controller A multipolar low-voltage molded case circuit breaker can include unipolar switching modules, which interact with the tripping set and/or the current measurer and power supply set.

The present disclosure relates to a molded case circuit breaker, and more particularly, to a contact unit of a molded case circuit breaker. A molded case circuit breaker according to an embodiment of the present disclosure may include a fixed contact; a movable contact rotatably provided on a shaft body to be brought into contact with or separated from the fixed contact; and an insulating barrier that enters between the fixed contact and the movable contact during interruption, wherein the insulating barrier is coupled to the movable contact to rotate along a circumferential surface of a shaft body.

Provided is a circuit breaker including a single pole breaking unit with a pressure trip device that rotates a trip bar through an arc gas and an opening/closing mechanism unit adjusted to be in a trip state as the trip bar rotates through the pressure trip device. The pressure trip device includes: a first case connected to the single pole breaking unit and having an arc gas discharge hole; a barrier positioned in the front of the arc gas discharge hole and bent through an arc gas discharged through the arc gas discharge hole; a shooter seated on the first case and configured to drive the trip bar while moving through the arc gas discharged through the arc gas discharge hole; and a second case connected to cover the first case.

Provided is a multi-pole molded case circuit breaker (MCCB) with an insulation barrier for a rotary pin, in which an insulation barrier is provided in a rotary pin for inter-phase power transmission to prevent dielectric breakdown. The multi-pole MCCB includes a shaft assembly having a movable contactor and having a plurality of rotary pin holes formed in a penetrating manner, a base assembly to which the shaft assembly is rotatably accommodated to be coupled, a switching mechanism coupled to an upper portion of the base assembly and rotating the shaft assembly, a plurality of rotary pins coupled to the plurality of rotary pin holes in a penetrating manner, and an insulation barrier formed of an insulating material and covering the plurality of rotary pins.

A circuit breaker housing assembly is disclosed. The housing (47) includes a first housing piece (14) defining a first interior surface (52) including a first mating surface (152), and a second housing piece (60) defining a second interior surface (62) including a second mating surface (260) which is opposingly coupled to the first mating surface to define a seam (202) therebetween. An adhesive material (201) is disposed between the corresponding first and second mating surfaces along the seam. A moveable contact is disposed in the housing and is selectively moveable with respect to a corresponding stationary contact. The first and second interior surfaces (52,62) further cooperatively define a first recess (120) therebetween, and the moveable contact assembly is disposed in said first recess.

Provided is a circuit breaker with a single pole breaking unit including a housing, a movable contact provided in the housing, a fixed contact provided in the housing and contacting or separated from the movable contact, and an extinction unit provided in the housing and configured to extinguish an arc generated when the movable contact and the fixed contact are separated. At least one arc gas discharge passage is formed in the housing to allow an arc gas generated when the movable contact and the fixed contact are separated to be discharged.

Provided is a circuit breaker including a single pole breaking unit with a pressure trip device that rotates a trip bar through an arc gas and an opening/closing mechanism unit adjusted to be in a trip state as the trip bar rotates through the pressure trip device. The pressure trip device includes: a first case connected to the single pole breaking unit and having an arc gas discharge hole; a barrier positioned in the front of the arc gas discharge hole and bent through an arc gas discharged through the arc gas discharge hole; a shooter seated on the first case and configured to drive the trip bar while moving through the arc gas discharged through the arc gas discharge hole; and a second case connected to cover the first case.

A rotary switch assembly, including a rotary contact and a stationary contact, and a rotary actuator for rotating the rotary contact such as to connect with and disconnect from the stationary contact. The rotary actuator includes a shield for shielding the rotary contact from a side that faces the stationary contact when the rotary contact and the stationary contacted are being disconnected from each other.

This electrical switching apparatus includes a protection casing, at least one switching member suitable for switching between a first position permitting the passage of a current and a second position preventing the passage of the current, a mechanism for control of the or of each switching member, and at least one auxiliary module disposed in the casing, the auxiliary module being removable with respect to the casing and configured to implement a function associated with the control mechanism. The electrical switching apparatus includes a mechanical referencing member common to the control mechanism and to each auxiliary module, for the positioning of the control mechanism and of each auxiliary module in the casing.
