1. A circuit breaker for an electrical circuit, comprising:
a tripping unit, to interrupt the electrical circuit; at least one current sensor, to ascertain electric current flowing through the circuit breaker; an input for a signal, at which a blocking signal for a circuit breaker arranged upstream on the energy sink side is receivable, each of the tripping unit, at least one current sensor and input being connected to a control unit and are embodied to provide a connectable blocking function, the ascertained electric current being comparable with a first current limit value, exceeding of the first current limit value requiring the first current limit value to be present for a first period of time to prompt interruption of the electrical circuit, comparable with a second current limit value, relatively below the first current limit value, wherein when the blocking function is disengaged, the second current limit value needs to be present for a second period of time to prompt interruption, when the blocking function is engaged and the blocking signal is absent, the second current limit value needs to be present for a third period of time to prompt interruption, when the blocking function is engaged and the blocking signal is there, the second current limit value needs to be present for a fourth period of time, relatively exceeding the third period of time, to prompt interruption, and wherein when the blocking function is engaged and the blocking signal is there, exceeding of the first current limit value requires said first current limit value to be present for a fifth period of time, relatively exceeding the first period of time, to prompt interruption. |
