Abstract
A line terminal assembly is provided for a circuit breaker. The line terminal assembly includes a line terminal which has an interior arm and first and second exterior arms with a bimetallic element connected to the interior arm. A screw passes through a bracket and threadably engages the interior arm. Torquing the screw causes the interior arm and bimetallic element to move relative to the exterior arms thereby varying the tripping current of the breaker.
