Abstract
The present disclosure relates to an arc extinguishing unit of a molded case circuit breaker with a barrier provided between a fixed contact and a movable contact when a circuit is cut off, including fixed contacts fixed to part of a base assembly case; movable contacts that come contact or are separated from the fixed contacts; and an arc extinguishing part that extinguishes an arc generated when the movable contacts are separated from the fixed contacts. The arc extinguishing part includes a pair of side plates; multiple grids installed at a fixed interval between the pair of side plates; and arc barriers each installed on a base assembly case in a slidable manner, and configured to be in an open state of being separated from the movable contacts when a normal current flows on the circuit or is cutoff, and to close when a fault current is cutoff.
