Abstract
The solid-state trip device of a protective circuit breaker of a three-phase mains system comprises a fault type detection circuit comparing the currents flowing in the mains system conductors with a first threshold and a second threshold, higher than the first one. It supplies a signal representative of a certain type of fault, single-phase or two series pole, when a first number of currents are lower than the first threshold and a second number of currents are higher than the second threshold.
