Abstract
A trigger device for a power switch includes a bi-metal which is arranged near to a current path of a power switch in order to control triggering, as well as a bi-metal mounting device into which the bimetal is inserted and which is designed to enclose the bi-metal, in an arrangement substantially parallel to a current path of a power switch, such that heat radiated from the current path heats the bi-metal more or less across its whole length.
