Circuit breaker compensation bimetal of a thermal tripping mechanism

A circuit breaker, comprising:

• a working bimetal having a first end and a second end, wherein:
• the first end is coupled to a switch mechanism,
• the working bimetal flexes based on thermal changes, and
• the thermal changes comprise ambient temperature changes and switch mechanism temperature changes;
• and
• a compensation bimetal comprising a multi-metallic strip having a first end and a second end, wherein:
• the multi-metallic strip flexes in response to the ambient temperature changes,
• the first end of the compensation bimetal is coupled to the second end of the working bimetal via a differential lever,
• the second end of the compensation bimetal is coupled to a tripping pin,
• a length of the multi-metallic strip is longer than a distance between the differential lever and the tripping pin,
• the multi-metallic strip extends in a direction away from the first end of the compensation bimetal toward the second end of the compensation bimetal, and
• the multi-metallic strip comprises at least two bends that each reverse the direction of the multi-metallic strip.
