A circuit breaker mechanism comprises a coil which surrounds a tube in which a magnetic core can move against the urging of a spring. An armature is located adjacent the coil and moves transversely relative to the axis of the coil, with a head portion of the armature being attracted towards a pole piece of the mechanism, while a foot portion of the armature is attracted to the magnetic core. The armature is pivoted to a magnetic frame at a point between the head and foot portions, so that the magnetic force between the head portion and the pole piece is counteracted to some extent by the magnetic force between the foot portion and the magnetic core. This in turn depends on the position of the magnetic core in the tube, and the setting of an adjuster mechanism which spaces the foot portion closer to or further away from the core in use. The adjuster mechanism allows the instantaneous tripping characteristic of the mechanism to be adjusted in use. <IMAGE>
