<p>The invention relates to a circuit breaker for automatically interrupting an electrical flow of current (I), comprising a trip element (4), which has a tappet (26) for actuating a switching mechanism (3) and a coil (10) for generating an electromagnetic tripping force that moves the tappet (26) out of a first position and into a tripping position. The invention is characterized in that a second coil (12) is arranged coaxial to the first coil (10), whereby the second coil (12) is flown through by a current (i) that is controlled according to a signal output by a summation current transformer (42) as a response to the detection of fault-currents.</p> |
