Abstract
A circuit breaker is disclosed. The circuit breaker includes a first current path section and a second current path section. At least one of the first and second current path section includes a first current path section member and at least one second current path section member. The at least one second current path section member is arranged in spaced relation to a surface of the first current path section member. The at least one second current path section member is electrically coupled with the first current path section member via at least a first coupling surface portion of the surface of the first current path section member.
Claims11
A circuit breaker connectable to an electrical circuit, the circuit breaker comprising:
- a first current path section and a second current path section, each of the first and second current path section comprising a respective first end and a respective second end, each of the first and second current path section being connectable to the electrical circuit at the respective first end;
- and
- a circuit breaker module adapted to at least momentarily controllably discontinue flow of electrical current in the electrical circuit by at least momentarily controllably discontinuing flow of electrical current through the circuit breaker module, each of the first and second current path section being connectable to the circuit breaker module at the respective second end;
- wherein each of the first and second current path section comprises:
- a first current path section member;
- and
- at least one second current path section member arranged in spaced relation to a surface of the first current path section member and being electrically coupled with the first current path section member via at least a first coupling surface portion of said surface of the first current path section member.
