Abstract

The electronic trip device comprises a device for selecting the faults which are to bring about locking of the circuit breaker contacts in the open position. When a fault in the power supply system protected by the circuit breaker leads to a trip, the trip device orders locking if this fault is one of the faults selected by the selection device.
