The invention discloses a small residual-current
circuit breaker, which comprises a shell, an operating mechanism, a residual-current release and a transmission rod, when the electric leakage tripper is actuated, an ejector rod of the electric leakage tripper pushes the transmission rod, so that the transmission rod rotates from a reset position to an actuating position, and the transmission rod pushes the mechanism
assembly to unlock in the rotating process, so that the operation mechanism is converted from closing to
tripping. The rotation center of the
handle and the rotation center of the mechanism
assembly are both located in the first space, and the
handle is located between the electric leakage release and the mechanism
assembly in the length direction; the
handle is provided with a reset part, and after the electric leakage release is actuated, the reset part impacts the transmission rod to enable the transmission rod to return to the reset position from the actuation position in the process that the handle is converted from closing to
tripping; the position relation of the electric leakage tripper, the operating mechanism and the like is rearranged, so that the product structure is more compact, and the size of the
circuit breaker in the length direction is reduced.
