The protection module comprises a
magnetic flux release, the
magnetic flux release comprises a fixed
magnet yoke, a coil framework, a coil, a static iron core, a movable iron core, a push rod and a counter-force spring, and the movable iron core is provided with a movable iron core locking face used for being in locking fit with the push rod matching face; when the
magnetic flux release is in a first operation state, the movable iron core locking surface is locked and matched with the push rod matching surface, so that the push rod is locked at a first position, and the movable iron core drives the counter-force spring to store energy; and when the magnetic flux release is in a second operation state, the movable iron core locking surface is separated from the push rod matching surface, and the counter-force spring releases energy to drive the push rod to be switched to a second position. The
circuit breaker comprises a protection module. According to the protection module and the
circuit breaker provided by the utility model, the movable iron core locking surface used for locking the push rod is directly constructed on the movable iron core, and the push rod can be driven to trip the operating mechanism only through the energy release of one reaction spring, so that the structure is simplified, the
tripping action time is shorter, the
tripping force is easier to calculate and control, and the
tripping performance is more stable.
