Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0591073A1] A moulded-case circuit breaker (10) with interchangeable trip units (14) has a frame-shaped surround (15) on its front face, projecting from the front face (16) of the circuit breaker, and framing the operating handle (13) of the circuit breaker. The surround (15) has a window (24) into which is inserted the end (21) of a console (20) integral with the trip unit (14), when the latter is in place. An inscription (23), especially of the rating of the trip unit (14) is carried by a face (22) of the console (20) in such a way as to be permanently visible, even when a panel label covers over the trip unit. <IMAGE>
