I salvaged this breaker unit from the scrape yard. Compared to every other breakers i have seen before, this is very different. It has 5 terminals.

The labels are very clear but there is no information about the usage of its terminals. The terminals are labelled A, B and C. Its not even labelled clearly which side is load and which side is line.



The greatest mystery is the terminal C. What is it's purpose and how is it used?

          It's an interesting type of circuit breaker, a Hydraulic-Magnetic. See the catalog here.



          Hydraulic-Magnetic circuit breaker



          Anyway, the third pin is actually for a trip coil. Which is a coil when energized, will trip the circuit breaker. Ther are most often found as clip-on units for rail circuit breakers. But this one has it integrated.

            See the diagram on the lower-left of page 19 of this document. Your breaker would appear to be a "dual rating" type, in which an overload on either of the B or C ("load") terminals will open the circuit to both.



            Terminal A would be the "line" connection.

                              One-line joke

                              A one-liner is a joke that is delivered in a single line. A good one-liner is said to be pithy - concise and meaningful. [1] Comedians and actors use this comedic method as part of their act, e.g. Jimmy Carr, Tommy Cooper, Rodney Dangerfield, Norm Macdonald, Ken Dodd, Stewart Francis, Zach Galifianakis, Mitch Hedberg, Anthony Jeselnik, Milton Jones, Shappi Khorsandi, Jay London, Mark Linn-Baker, Demetri Martin, Groucho Marx, Dan Mintz, Emo Philips, Tim Vine, Steven Wright and Henny Youngman and Arnold Schwarzenegger. [ citation needed ] Many fictional characters are also known to deliver one-liners, including James Bond, who usually includes pithy and laconic quips after disposing of a villain. [ citation needed ] Examples "A baby seal walks into a club." "A dyslexic man walks into a bra." (Anonymous) "There are three types of people, those who can count and those who can't." "Venison's dear, isn't it?" (Jimmy Carr) "An escala...
