Abstract

A circuit breaker assembly is equipped with a pre-tripping device comprising a fixed cam securedly united to a connecting base, which cooperates with a rocker and a transmission lever when the circuit breaker is drawn-in and drawn-out from the connecting base. The profile of the fixed cam is chosen to actuate the transmission lever and impose tripping of the circuit breaker, during draw-in or draw-out travel, whereas the transmission lever is in the inactive position after the circuit breaker is drawn-in or drawn-out, in which the latter can be opened or closed normally.
