    Square D Load-Center Circuit Breakers

    Match these circuit breakers to Square D breaker boxes or panel boards of the same manufacturer series. Because they are thermal-magnetic, these breakers trip two different ways. They either trip when heat is generated by sustained low-level overload current or quickly when the magnetic coil senses a high-current short circuit.

    Built to resist vibration and corrosion in harsh environments, these circuit breakers protect against overload and short circuits in low-voltage automotive and other electronic applications. All are thermal, so they use the heat generated in overcurrent situations to trip the breaker.
    Lever Manual Reset and Push-Pull Button Manual Reset—Push-pull button and lever style breakers can be used as an on/off switch.
    UL 1077—Place UL 1077-rated breakers downstream from a branch circuit breaker to protect a single piece of equipment. They are also known as supplemental protectors.
    Breakthrough Current @ Voltage—Breakthrough current is the maximum current that the circuit breaker can safely stop in the event of a short circuit.
