Abstract (en)

It is an object of the present invention to provide a circuit breaker excellent in safety by electrically insulating the trip unit from the main circuit, and capable of performing a proper wiping of the movable contact carrier, resulting in reduction of electrical resistance at the contacts. In the circuit breaker of the present invention, a housing means (22) contains a main circuit (100) including a power supply side stationary contact carrier (1) with a stationary contact (2), a movable contact carrier (4) with a power supply side movable contact (3) and a load side movable contact (5), and a load side stationary contact carrier (7) with a load side stationary contact (6).
