Abstract
A latching mechanism is arranged to engage one of the movable contact arms upon magnetic repulsion of the contact arms independent of the operating mechanism to prevent the contact arm from re-closing until the operating mechanism has responded. An operating lever reacts with the contact arm latching mechanism to articulate the operating mechanism to trip the breaker after the latching mechanism has fully engaged the contact arm.
