The present invention provides a trip control circuit for a circuit breaker capable of breaking a circuit when a fault current occurs due to a DC current component, as well as an AC current. The trip control circuit comprises a current transformer that has a core allowing a circuit to pass through and a secondary coil for detecting a current flowing on the circuit and providing a current detection signal; an oscillation circuit section that configured to apply an electrical signal to the secondary coil to increase a slope of a hysteresis loop of the current transformer to allow the secondary coil to detect a DC current and an AC current; and a trip determining circuit section that configured to compare a current value indicated by the current detection signal with a predetermined reference current value.
