ABSTRACT:
A circuit breaker characterized by a voltage-responsive device having an electromagnet including an armature. A linkage connects the armature to the trip latch of the circuit breaker in order to open the circuit breaker contacts when a voltage occurs that is less than a predetermined voltage value. Under normal operating conditions, when the contacts are closed, the armature is retained in place by an electromagnetic force, but is biased away therefrom when the voltage drops below that voltage value.
