Abstract

An automatic reset and self-test device, particularly for residual current operated circuit breakers and the like, comprising a containment body (2) which can be coupled to an electrical device, such as a residual current operated circuit breaker provided with main contacts and secondary or auxiliary contacts, the containment body including a drum (5) which is kinematically associated with the control for opening and closing the main contacts of the circuit breaker; characterized in that it comprises an electric motor (10) suitable to drive a gear train by means of a worm screw (9), turning round in one direction only, for closing the main contacts and the secondary contacts.
