CIRCUIT BREAKER REMOTE TRIPPING.

摘要

A circuit breaker module (which may also be termed an interrupter) including circuit breaker contacts which are opened and closed by an electrically activated magnetic actuator and capable of interrupting fault currents. The magnetic actuator is stable in either a breaker closed state or a breaker open state without requiring electrical current flow through the magnetic actuator. An externally connectable mechanical drive is linked to the magnetic actuator in a manner such that movement of the externally connectable mechanical drive can destabilize the breaker closed state to open the circuit breaker contacts. An external actuator activated by an external condition is connected to said externally connectable mechanical drive so as to cause said circuit breaker contacts to open upon occurrence of the external condition.
