ABSTRACT:
A static type circuit breaker in which a transistor is arranged in the current path by which electrical power is supplied to a load from a power source. If short circuit trouble occurs, the fault current flowing in the load circuit is detected so that a luminous diode in a detector circuit is made to cease emitting light. A phototransistor photocoupled to this luminous diode and arranged in the base circuit of the transistor is made non-conductive and produces a short circuit between the base and the emitter of the transistor, whereby the transistor is made non-conductive so that the fault current is cut off.
