DIN-Rail Mount AC Branch Circuit Breakers

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.

Blade-Style High-Voltage DC Circuit Breakers

Rated to 72V DC, these can handle higher voltages than any other DC circuit breaker we offer. Use these circuit breakers in place of type ATC, AF, ATO, and 257 blade-style fuses to protect against overload and short circuits in low-voltage automotive and electronic applications. All are thermal, so they use the heat generated in overcurrent situations to trip the breaker.

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

DIN-rail mount holder is required (sold separately) to mount circuit breakers to DIN-rail.

Panel-Mount AC/DC Circuit Breakers

In addition to protecting equipment, these circuit breakers can be used as on/off switches. Able to handle high inrush current found in motor start-ups. They meet UL 1077 requirements for supplemental circuit protection and are designed for use downstream of a branch circuit breaker. All are thermal, so they use the heat generated in overcurrent situations to trip the breaker.
