A molded case circuit breaker apparatus is taught with an operating mechanism which is triggered in response to the movement of a trip bar. The trip bar in turn is responsive to current flowing in the main terminals of the circuit breaker apparatus. The trip bar is responsive to electrothermal conditions as a gradual overload increases. It is also responsive to a short circuit condition due to a magnetic reaction between an armature and an electromagnet. The armature is flexibly attached to the trip bar for flexible movement in one direction and non-flexible movement in the other direction so that a short circuit may be accommodated by a relatively small air gap by non-flexible movement of the armature and the trip bar to cause a tripping operation. On the other hand, a wide range of angular movement is available for a high degree of calibrated reaction to a wide range of overload currents because the armature member is flexibly attached to the trip bar in one direction and is held stationary against the facing magnet even after the trip bar continues movement for an otherwise non-allowable increment of electrothermal calibration.

This invention relates to electric circuit breakers automatically operable in response to current overload and pore particularly to automatic electric circuit breakers of the multipole type. One object of the present invention is to provide an improved form of releasing means for a multipole...

Multipole circuit breaker

This paper reports a SiC-based solid-state circuit breaker (SSCB) with an adjustable current-time (I-t) tripping profile for both ultrafast short circuit protection and overload protection. The tripping time ranges from 0.5 microsecond to 10 seconds for a fault current ranging from 0.8X to 10X of the nominal current. The I-t tripping profile, adjustable by choosing different resistance values in the analog control circuit, can help avoid nuisance tripping of the SSCB due to inrush transient current. The maximum thermal capability of the 1200V SiC JFET static switch in the SSCB is investigated to set a practical thermal limit for the I-t tripping profile. Furthermore, a low fault current ‘blind zone’ limitation of the prior SSCB design is discussed and a new circuit solution is proposed to operate the SSCB even under a low fault current condition. Both simulation and experimental results are reported.
