DEFINITION

Classification: 335/26

(under subclass 21) Subject matter wherein the structure includes significant means whereby after an automatic disconnection of the main contacts, upon the occurrence of a fault or surge in the circuit, the contacts are automatically reclosed to restore service in the event that the fault has been removed; or means whereby the latching mechanism is reset to an operative condition whereby the contact actuating means will be rigidly held in an operated condition upon the contacts being reclosed.
