1 Pole Circuit Breaker

2 Pole Circuit Breaker

3 Pole Circuit Breaker

4 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.

GFCI Turn-Lock Extension Cords

Keep personnel safe from electric shock with these cords. Give the connectors a quarter turn to lock in place; they remain secure in high-vibration applications. All have a manual GFCI reset that prevents unexpected equipment start-up. The industry designation is SJTW, so the insulation resists water.
