A GFCI/AFCI circuit breaker includes a housing, separable contacts, and an operating mechanism for opening and closing the separable contacts. A first trip mechanism includes a GFCI/AFCI trip circuit having a resistor. The resistor is energized in response to a trip condition. The first trip mechanism cooperates with the operating mechanism to trip open the separable contacts in response to the trip condition. The resistor has a body which burns open in response to a failure of the separable contacts to trip open. A second trip mechanism engages the body of the resistor and cooperates with the operating mechanism to trip open the separable contacts in response to the body of the resistor burning open.

Un disjoncteur GFCI/AFCI comprend un boîtier, des contacts séparables et un mécanisme de fonctionnement pour ouvrir et fermer les contacts séparables. Un premier mécanisme de déclenchement comprend un circuit de déclenchement GFCI/AFCI pourvu d'une résistance. Cette résistance est alimentée en réaction à une condition de déclenchement. Le premier mécanisme de déclenchement coopère avec le mécanisme de fonctionnement pour déclencher l'ouverture des contacts séparables, en réaction à la condition de déclenchement. La résistance a un corps qui se consume, suite à une défaillance des contacts séparables à s'ouvrir. Un second mécanisme de déclenchement engage le corps de la résistance et coopère avec le mécanisme de fonctionnement pour déclencher l'ouverture des contacts séparables, en réaction au corps de la résistance qui se consume.
