Abstract
A permanently installed manual trip mechanism is mounted internally to a circuit breaker with a user operated handle extending to the outside of the enclosure. The mechanism converts a relatively small operator input to larger spring charge. Upon triggering, the mechanism provides the required operating velocity of the circuit breaker during the opening stroke for load break operation.
