Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0563775A1] A bimetallic-control protection circuit breaker contains a busbar (2) which is electrically connected in series with the bimetallic device (1). The busbar (2) runs parallel to the bimetallic device (1) in its deflection plane and is rigid in comparison with said bimetallic device (1). The bimetallic deflection is supported by the effect of electrodynamic force. In order that the protection circuit breaker is suitable for relatively high current intensities and the effect of the electrodynamic force can be utilised better, the bimetallic device (1) is electrically connected in parallel with a shunt path.
