If the second core 44 is fixed, the first core 41
Is restricted, the bimetal 42 is not easily bent, and the bimetal 42 is bent in an S-shape, so that a force different from the original bending direction of the bimetal 42 acts on the bimetal 42. When such a force acts on the bimetal 42, the bimetal 42 may be plastically deformed, and the current value at which the latch projection 41 a releases the locked state with the operation plate 33 increases, thereby preventing an overcurrent to be operated. Will not work. On the other hand, in the configuration of the present embodiment, since the second core 44 is movable in the bending direction of the bimetal 42, the lower end of the bimetal 42 is bent rightward, and the lower end of the first core 41 moves rightward. Then, since the second iron core 44 is pushed by the first iron core 41 and moves rightward, the bimetal 42 is deformed such that the latch protrusion 41 a increases the current value for releasing the locked state with the operation plate 33. It is gone.

除することができるのである。When the short-circuit current passes through the bimetal 42, as shown in FIG. 3, the bimetal 42 hardly bends and the first iron core 41 is attracted to the second iron core 44. Is released. That is, when the short-circuit current passes through the bimetal 42, the bimetal 42 becomes high in temperature due to self-heating. If the bimetal 42 bends in this state, the bimetal 42 is likely to be plastically deformed. Due to the contact with the second core 44, the magnetic resistance between the first core 41 and the second core 44 is relatively small, and the magnetic force generated in the first core 41 is reduced by the second core 44.
Before the bimetal 42 is deformed, the first iron core 41 can be instantaneously attracted to the second iron core 44 to release the latching state between the latch projection 41a and the operating plate 33. It is.
