The present invention relates to the field of low-
voltage electrical appliances, in particular to a
circuit breaker. The
circuit breaker includes a
circuit breaker housing, and an operating mechanism, a
contact system, a wire-incoming terminal, a wire-outgoing terminal, an arc-extinguishing chamber and a thermomagnetic
tripping mechanism arranged in the circuit breaker housing. The
contact system includes a first contact structure and a second contact structure which are arranged in synchronous rotation. In a height direction of the circuit breaker, an operating member of the operating mechanism, the
contact system and the arc-extinguishing chamber are arranged sequentially; and in a length direction of the circuit breaker, the wire-incoming terminal and the wire-outgoing terminal are located at both ends of the circuit breaker, the contact
system and the arc-extinguishing chamber are located between the wire-incoming terminal and the wire-outgoing terminal, the contact
system and the arc-extinguishing chamber are located on one side of the thermomagnetic
tripping mechanism, the wire-incoming terminal or the wire-outgoing terminal is located on the other side of the thermomagnetic
tripping mechanism, and the first contact structure and the second contact structure are arranged side by side. The circuit breaker is more reasonable in internal
layout, and provides a larger
assembly space for the arc-extinguishing chamber.
