DEFINITION

Classification: 337/83

(under subclass 82) Subject matter wherein the calibration or adjustment means whereby an electrical shunt circuit is established in parallel with the current path through the bimetallic element or whereby the electrothermal controlling

means is short circuited, thereby determining the amount of operative current necessary to actuate the main circuit contacts.
