ABSTRACT:
A highly efficient over current circuit breaker for an electric system is provided with a timer which is adjustable and can be set to produce a first control signal a predetermined time after the electric system is turned on, and a load detector in association with an over current control device which produces a second control signal when the load applied to the electric system exceeds a predetermined level. The first control signal and second control signal jointly activate an amplifier to produce a third control signal which activates relays to cause a magnetic switch to open, or "trip", whereby the electric system is turned off. The timer allows an electric surge to occur in the electric system without causing the magnetic switch to trip during the period of starting the electric system. The circuit breaker is particularly useful in systems having induction motors in which starting current surges are common.
