Abstract:
An electrical power circuit breaker, comprising:an electromechanical assembly including at least one switching contact, a drive apparatus which operates the switching contact, and at least one latching devices for allowing energy stores to close and open the switching contact; a current sensor for detecting a current flowing via the switching contact; an electronic overcurrent trip unit for processing a signal from the current sensor and for emitting a signal instructing the at least one latching device to open the switching contact; a moving connecting line for connecting the current sensor to the overcurrent trip unit; and an information memory for passing characteristic values of the electromechanical assembly in the power circuit breaker to the overcurrent trip unit, wherein the information memory is a part of a first component, which is connected on the connecting line of a two-part plug and socket apparatus, whose second component is part of the overcurrent trip unit.
