1 Pole Circuit Breaker

2 Pole Circuit Breaker

3 Pole Circuit Breaker

Use these circuit breakers upstream from small transformers, lighting, and control circuits. They meet UL 489 requirements for branch circuit protection. All are thermal/magnetic—breakers trip when heat is generated by sustained, low-level overload current, but will trip quickly when the magnetic field in the coil senses a high-current short circuit. Mount directly to DIN rail.

Breakthrough current is the maximum current that the circuit breaker can safely stop in the event of a short circuit.

Alarm (sold separately) sends an audible signal when the breaker is tripped.

With Three Outlets	NEMA 5-15 Socket

Made of impact-resistant plastic, these reels are more durable than other automatic-wind cord reels. They have a ratchet to hold the extension cord in place at any length; a quick pull releases the cord and the spring-driven winding mechanism retracts it. A resettable circuit breaker prevents overload damage. Mount reels to a wall or ceiling with the quick-release mounting bracket. The included extension cord resists oil and water.
