18 IZM32 / IN32 low voltage air circuit breaker MN013017EN May 2022 www.eaton.com
Section 3: Circuit breaker description and operation
IZM32 circuit breakers use a rigid frame housing
construction of engineered thermoset composite resins.
This construction provides high-strength structural
properties, excellent dielectric characteristics, and
resistance to arc tracking.
The three-piece construction approach provides support
while isolating and insulating power conductors.
A two-piece engineered thermoset composite resin case
encloses current paths and arc chambers. The chambers act
to channel arc gases up and out of the circuit breaker during
interruption.
The operating mechanism sits on the front of the case and
is electrically isolated and insulated from current contact
structures. It is covered by an insulating front cover.
3-3 Operating mechanism
The IZM32 / IN32 operating mechanism is based on the
proven cam and spring design. It is easily accessed by
removing few cover screws and the front cover (Figure 3-6).
The mechanism is a two-step stored energy mechanism.
Potential energy is stored to close the circuit breaker.
Sufficient energy to open the circuit breaker remains
available after a closing operation.
