ABSTRACT:
A trip mechanism (140), including two trip actuators, namely a bi-metal trip actuator (144) and a magnetic trip actuator (142), that act on a plunger (160). A plunger guide (162) guides motion of the plunger along a straight line path of travel. Each trip actuator is capable of moving the plunger independently of the other trip actuator to cause the circuit breaker to trip in response to detection of either a thermal fault or a magnetic fault.
