ABSTRACT:
A molded case thermal-magnetic circuit breaker having improved low current magnetic trip response pivotally arranges the magnet within the circuit breaker thermal-magnetic trip system for controllably moving toward the latching armature assembly. The movement of the magnet decreases the magnetic separation distance between the magnet and the latching armature to optimize the magnetic trip forces and thereby enhance low current magnetic trip response.
