<p>A thermally tripped circuit breaker contains a functional bimetallic strip and a bimetallic support that fixes the functional bimetallic strip, in particular to an enclosure. The bimetallic support is a compensating bimetallic strip that is bent out in the opposite direction (i.e. a pivot direction) to the functional bimetallic strip. Current flows through the two bimetallic strips, and the strips are connected in series.</p> |
