Circuit breaker and quick tripping device thereof
A quick tripping device of a circuit breaker having a contact system that includes a moving contact mechanism and a static contact, wherein the moving contact mechanism includes a contact support and a moving contact, and a contact spring having two ends connected with the moving contact and the contact support respectively. The quick tripping device further includes a first transmission structure in driving fit with the contact spring and rotatable along with the contact spring.
