Devices, systems, and methods for shunting a circuit breaker

摘要

Certain exemplary embodiments comprise a bimetal restraint adapted to restrain a bimetal of a circuit breaker from deformation beyond a predetermined threshold during a short circuit event. In certain exemplary embodiments, the bimetal restraint can be adapted to act as a shunt during the short circuit event to transfer electrical energy from an electrical energy source to a load side of the circuit breaker.
