AI Technical Summary
Existing residual current circuit breakers are relatively large, which limits their applicability in small spaces.
The leakage current actuator and control circuit board are placed in the first cavity, while the circuit breaker body and leakage current detection transformer are placed in the second cavity. The plug-in terminals are designed to be rear-in and rear-out, which reduces the length of the circuit breaker. The vertical cavity layout is used to reduce the overall volume.
This design achieves a compact structure for residual current circuit breakers, expands their application range, and enables them to be installed and used effectively even in small spaces.
