Abstract (en)

[origin: CN105719921A] The invention relates to thermal trip device for a low-voltage electrical circuit breaker. The circuit breaker comprises a fixed contact and a contact movable between a closed position of the two contacts and a open position of the two contacts. The movable contact can be driven by means of a slide member to the second position. The trip device comprises bimetallic strip deformable when an overload fault occurs in a circuit to be protected. The bimetallic strip cooperates with the slide member so that when the current overload fault occurs, the deformation of the bimetallic strip results in offset of the slide member to shift the movable contact to the open position. The circuit breaker is characterized in that the bimetallic strip (6) comprises a semi-spherical contact forming portion (11), which can cooperate with a flattened portion disposed on the slide member (7) to ensure the polarization of the slide member (7), so that a lever arm corresponding to the polarization is and independent of the deformation of the bimetallic strip (6).
