Abstract (en)

[origin: WO0036623A1] A circuit breaker including a switch assembly for initiating one of at least two test conditions. The switch assembly is coupled ot a circuit board, an integrated circuit mounted thereon, and a solenoid, such that upon the initiation of either of the two conditions, the solenoid engages the armature latch in a circuit trip assembly within the breaker so as to cause the armature latch to initiate its movement from a first position to a second position. In this way, the circuit breaker can simulate a plurality of test conditions, such as fault conditions.
