ABSTRACT:
In an overload protective circuit breaker, a fixed contact element and a bimetal contact element are arranged in parallel beside each other. When a current overload occurs and the bimetal junction is heated, a movable contact post on a snap disc mounted on the bimetal contact element moves away from a fixed contact post on the fixed contact element, thereby breaking circuit, and an insulating wall piece of a slider body will be moved automatically into the gap between the two contact posts so as to break circuit and cut off an arc forming between the two moving-apart posts and accelerating cooling of the bimetal junction. Returning the circuit breaker to circuit-making position requires depression of a push button which is preferably a leg of an L-shaped switch member, the other L-leg being constituted by the slider body.
