ABSTRACT:
An improved anti-rebound mechanism for circuit breakers having a blow-off, current-limiting feature is provided. The improvement consists of a ferromagnetic latch which is activated by any massive current surge through the circuit breaker sufficient to cause blow-off current interruption. The latch is caused to be magnetically attracted to, and engage with, a notch on a movable arm of a circuit breaker to maintain the arm in an open position until the circuit breaker is manually reset in a closed position.
