A molded-case circuit breaker includes a handle, a contact system and an actuating device. In an embodiment, the handle is movable between an 'ON' position and an 'OFF' position, the contact system includes at least one stationary contact and a movable contact and the actuating device is operatively connected to the handle and the contact system such that, when the handle is actuated, it is possible to open and close the contact system. Furthermore, in the event of a fault state, the handle can be brought into a “TRIP” position arranged between the “ON” position and the “OFF” position by the actuating device.
