Circuit Breaker Armature

Circuit breaker armature is a component found in circuit breakers, which are devices used to protect electrical circuits from overloads or short circuits. The armature is a movable part within the circuit breaker that is responsible for opening and closing the electrical contacts.

When a circuit breaker is in the closed position, the armature holds the contacts together, allowing the flow of electrical current. However, when an overload or short circuit occurs, the armature is triggered to move, separating the contacts and interrupting the current flow. This action helps to protect the circuit and prevent damage to the electrical equipment.

In the supply class of circuit breakers, which is Circuit Breakers, and the supply group of Electrical And Electronic Equipment Components, the circuit breaker armature is an essential component that ensures the proper functioning of the circuit breaker in protecting electrical circuits.
