🔍 Key Concepts

• Molded-case circuit breaker operation after an overload trip • How a thermal trip unit behaves when it is still hot vs cooled down • Difference between handle position and the internal trip mechanism

💭 Think About

• Think about what happens inside the breaker when the thermal element bends and trips the mechanism—what needs to happen before current can safely flow again? • Consider whether the handle position alone guarantees the contacts are properly reset, or if temperature of the thermal element also matters. • Ask yourself: right after an overload trip, what is the manufacturer trying to prevent the operator from doing too quickly?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify what the thermal element is designed to do during an overload and how long its effect lasts. • Check which options describe a temporary condition until cooling vs a permanent mechanical damage that would require part replacement. • Confirm which handle position (OFF vs TRIPPED) is typically used to indicate an automatic trip, not a normal manual shutoff.
