ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to a high ampere-rated circuit breaker which meets the electrical code requirements of the world market. The closing springs controlling the CLOSED state and the opening springs controlling the OPENED state of the circuit breaker contacts are interlocked to prevent operation of both springs at the same time. The closing lever and the opening lever interact in such a manner that only one of the levers can release the associated closing or opening springs.
