MAGNETIC TRIPPING DEVICE AND OVERCURRENT TRIPPING DEVICE OF AN ELECTRICAL SWITCH AND ELECTRICAL SWITCH AND METHOD FOR CALIBRATING THE MAGNETIC TRIPPING OF A MAGNETIC TRIPPING DEVICE

摘要

An overcurrent tripping device of an electrical switch for interrupting a current flow in an electrical circuit in the event of the occurrence of an overload or a short circuit is disclosed. In an embodiment, the overcurrent tripping device includes a thermal tripping device and a magnetic tripping device. A magnetic tripping device is disclosed which, in an embodiment, includes at least one yoke element for generating a magnetic field, an armature element responding to the magnetic field, and a spring element. The armature element is arranged on an armature carrier element, separated from the yoke element, by way of a first armature element end and is mounted pivotably about an armature element rotation axis. In addition, an electrical switch including an overcurrent tripping device, and a method for calibrating magnetic tripping of a magnetic tripping device of an electrical switch, are disclosed.
