Abstract
A compact circuit breaker containing an electronic trip unit employs an actuator-accessory unit to articulate the circuit breaker operating mechanism and separate the circuit breaker contacts to interrupt current within a protected circuit. A tolerance compensating spring is attached to the actuator-accessory unit trip armature to precisely set the separation gap between the tip of the armature and the actuator-accessory trip actuator arm.
