A molded case
circuit breaker comprises an operating mechanism, a
contact mechanism and an
interlocking mechanism, an operating
handle drives a moving contact to move through the operating mechanism, the
interlocking mechanism comprises an
interlocking piece and an interlocking spring, and the interlocking spring is used for driving the interlocking piece to lock the moving contact in a state that the moving contact cannot be in contact with a static contact. In the process that the operating
handle moves from the opening position to the closing position, when the operating
handle moves to the interlocking position, the operating handle or the operating mechanism drives the interlocking piece to unlock the moving contact, the operating handle is driven by the
energy storage spring to move to the opening position and the closing position, and when the operating mechanism is not closed in place, the interlocking piece is driven by the
energy storage spring to unlock the moving contact. According to the technical scheme,
pilot connection between the moving contact and the static contact can be avoided, an operator can be helped to judge the working state of a product, misjudgment is avoided, potential safety hazards are reduced, when the operating handle moves to the action position, the closing force of the
energy storage spring is larger, the moving contact can be driven to make contact with the static contact rapidly, and the rapid closing function is achieved.
