4.5 Miniature Circuit-Breaker
The miniature circuit-breakers protect the connected conductors against destruction due to
overheating. Each of the miniature circuit-breakers can be manually activated or can be tripped
automatically.
To be able to trip automatically, each miniature circuit-breaker monitors the electric current in the
connected conductors. When the current becomes too high, the miniature circuit-breaker interrupts the
flow of current and thus prevents overheating of the conductors.
