Summary:A circuit interrupter includes a circuit breaker mechanism having a trip coil energized by a current transformer to separate the contacts upon command of a microcomputer-based trip unit during overcurrent conditions. A bimetallic normally-open thermal switch is mounted on the internal conductors of the breaker and is connected in parallel with the trip unit to energize the trip coil when the conductors overheat. The thermal switch is also connected to the interrupt terminal of the microcomputer to cause appropriate display and alarm information upon activation of the thermal switch.
