Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0252786A1] This circuit breaker comprises, housed inside an insulating casing (1, 2), two switching circuits comprising two respective switches (P12, C12-P22, C22) actuated either by a device (DM, DT) for triggering on a malfunction in current, or by a manual control. The casing (1, 2) is divided inside by a partition (13) which extends from one side face (8) to the other (9) and comprises a first flat portion (17) which extends in the central plane of symmetry (YY'), and delimits two volumes (VO1 and VO2) housing the two switches respectively, and a second, offset, flat portion (18) which delimits, on one side, a space of small width through which passes a conductive part (P23) connected to the switch (P22, C22) and a third volume (VO3) housing the device (DM, DT) which triggers on a malfunction. This circuit breaker comes in a modular form with small dimensions. <IMAGE>
