[0002] Molded case circuit breakers can automatically cut off the current when the current exceeds the trip setting. Molded case refers to the plastic insulator used as the outer shell of the device to isolate the conductors and the grounded metal parts. Molded case circuit breakers usually contain thermal magnetic trip units, and large-sized molded case circuit breakers are equipped with solid-state trip sensors. Its trip units are divided into: thermal magnetic trip and electronic trip.

[0003] An arc extinguishing chamber for extinguishing arcs during the breaking process is generally provided in a molded case circuit breaker. The arc extinguishing chamber is made of a corresponding bracket and a plurality of metal arc extinguishing sheets. However, the bracket currently used for positioning and supporting the metal arc extinguishing sheets is often made of only two plastic baffles, which lacks stability and is prone to deformation during long-term use. Therefore, we propose a molded case circuit breaker clip-on mounting bracket to solve the above-mentioned problems. Utility Model Content
