The invention relates to the field of low-
voltage electric appliances, particularly to a plug-in
circuit breaker, which comprises a protection
electrode, wherein one end of the operation button of theprotection
electrode is inserted into a
circuit breaker shell, the operation button, a first wire outlet end and a first wire inlet terminal are arranged at the two ends of the
circuit breaker shellrespectively, an arc extinguishing
system is arranged in the middle of a protection
electrode assembly cavity and located on one side of the first wire inlet terminal, an operation mechanism is arranged between the operation button and the arc extinguishing
system, a
protection mechanism is arranged between a first wire outlet terminal and the arc extinguishing
system and located on one side of the operation mechanism, the plug-in circuit breaker is in a
closed state, the operation mechanism is in a lock catch state, when a
short circuit state or an overload state exists, the
protection mechanism drives the operation mechanism to trip, the plug-in circuit breaker trips and the operation mechanism enters the
tripping state, the operation button is pulled to move towards the opening direction, the operation mechanism is driven to recover to the lock catch state, and the plug-in circuit breaker enters the opening state. The plug-in circuit breaker is compact in structure and small in size.
