Thermal circuit breaker adds mounting options
Fuseholder-style single-pole thermal circuit breaker is now optionally available with threaded-neck and snap-in versions for rear mounting.
Its tripping operation is cycling trip-free.
Fuseholder style circuit breakers are ideal substitutes for panel fuses where inrush currents cause nuisance trips, or aging of the fusing element over time.
Resetting the circuit can avoid unnecessary downtime and maintenance costs associated with replacing fuses.
Improper replacement with the wrong current rating is also prevented.
The circuit breaker button extends to indicate when the circuit is interrupted.
The button returns to depressed status when pushed to reset.
The current rating is clearly visible on the face.
Typical applications include lighting, power tools, industrial appliances, medical diagnostic appliances, UPSs, sports and hobby machinery and HVAC.
The Schurter T9 series meets UL1077 for supplementary protection, CSA C22.2.235, EN 60934 and GB17701.
cURus, VDE and CCC approvals are pending.
Current ratings range from 4 to 16A at 240V AC and 48V DC.
Terminals are 0.25in or 6.3mm quick-disconnect. Request a free brochure from Schurter ...
