ASAP Semiconductor LLC
Circuit Breakers to interrupt the entire circuit. The contacts are disconnected by using some sort of mechanically-stored energy contained inside the circuit breaker. Smaller circuit breakers may be required to be manual reset, but larger ones usually have solenoids that trip the mechanism and motors to reset the breaker. The contacts must be able to carry the load current without excessive heating as well as withstanding the heat of the arc produced when breaking the contacts. Contacts are usually made...
