19 A B S T R A C T CIRCUIT INTERRUPTER WITH IMPROVED ELECTRO- MECHANICAL UNDERVOLTAGE RELEASE MECHANISM The invention relates to a circuit interrupter which is especially suitable for use under conditions of mechanical shock and vibration. The circuit interrupter includes a release mechanism (50; Figures 9-10) for tripping the interrupter upon the occurrence of an abnormal power supply condition, such as undervoltage. The release mechanism comprises a first movable structure (58) comprising an armature biased (spring 24) toward an actuated position and normally held magnetically (coil 54) in a home position from which to be released when the abnormal power supply condition occurs, and a second movable structure (62, 68-74) operable by the first movable structure to trip open the circuit interrup- ter. The two movable structures are interconnected in such manner (lever 60) as to be substantially balanced and to simultaneously move in opposite directions with respect to each other.
