E-T-A Circuit Breakers has released a modified design for one of its popular, low-cost circuit breakers for equipment (CBEs).
A complete X8345-D01 module will handle 600A in total.
Systems can be extended or reconfigured without powering down as X8345 circuit breakers are hot-swappable.
Live parts in the plug-in area of the load terminals are protected against brush contact to IP20.
In combination with the toggle switch, hydraulic-magnetic type X8345 circuit breakers, the X8345-D01 rack is ideal for telecommunications control cabinets.
They provide a comprehensive power distribution system to protect wireless or wireline equipment, whether for switching technology, transfer mode systems, network access technology or mobile radio systems.
The E-T-A 8345 magnetic circuit breaker for equipment (CBE) is a fully approved circuit breaker for telecommunications equipment, plant control systems, the rail industry and other applications where reliable protection in a compact package is essential.
The 125A maximum rating is 25A higher than the industry norm, allowing designers to increase power output without consuming valuable rack space.
The product is fully approved to UL489, UL1077 and EN 60934, requiring the circuit breaker to be fit for purpose after interrupting a short circuit at its maximum specified fault rating.
Thus, an extra measure of protection for expensive electrical equipment is assured, reducing costly downtime caused by power interruption.
E-T-A offers a wide range of power distribution systems, racks and circuit protection solutions for the telecommunications industry, as well as offering racks or subassemblies, wired and prefitted with circuit breakers, electronic power controllers and other components customised to meet specific requirements.
