When an overcurrent flows through the electric circuit in the ON state, the bimetal 4 is heated and bent, so that the bimetal 4 separates from the locking piece 5. Therefore, the actuator 9 is rotated by the torsion coil spring 10, and the trip link striking portion 6 pushes the trip link 12, causing the trip link 12 to rotate around the fixed shaft 12a. As a result, the latch link 13 locks into the locking portion 12b.
The latch link 13 rotates around the fixed shaft 13a due to the spring force of the opening spring 23, which moves the movable shaft 24 and the slide link 26, and the movable contact 14 performs the opening operation. . After the bimetal 4 cools down, it returns to its original state, and the trip link 12 returns to its original state due to the return spring 12c. On the other hand, when the actuator 9 moves the handle 11 to the off side, the pressing part 11a pushes the reset protrusion 7, so the actuator 9 rotates against the torsion coil spring 10 and the locking piece 5 locks on the handle 11. It becomes possible.
