Abstract
A tripping device is used for protective circuit breakers. In the event that tripping is required, a detection unit drives a tripping element which is able to engage with the latching part of a protective circuit-breaker device. The tripping element is positioned and mounted in such a way that it is interchangeable and can be replaced with differently shaped tripping elements.
