Combined switch and breaker runs to 100A

An E-T-A Circuit Breakers product story
Edited by the Engineeringtalk editorial team Sep 6, 2002

E-T-A has modified of one of its combined switch/circuit breakers for equipment to offer what is believed to be the only high-performance 100A CBE with an auxiliary contact for status information.

E-T-A is offering a modified version of one of its combined switch/circuit breakers for equipment (CBEs) to offer, what is believed to be, the only high-performance 100A CBE with an auxiliary contact providing status information.

The new E-T-A 452 is a heavy duty, combined push/pull switch and circuit breaker with a thermal-magnetic tripping mechanism for thread-neck, panel mounting in low voltage applications.

The addition of an auxiliary contact to the standard model offers the user a low current, status indicator signal.

The standard E-T-A 452 is used widely to populate flight decks of aircraft, and for other high- performance applications including telecommunications and process control.

The new CBE is available in a range of current protection values from 50 to 100A.

The E-T-A 452 CBEs feature a tease-free, trip-free, snap-action mechanism ideal for applications requiring reliable, rugged performance particularly when subject to vibrations.

As with all E-T-A thermal-magnetic CBEs, an internal solenoid provides rapid cut off in the event of short-pulse high current overloads, and the bimetal thermal cutout, in series with this solenoid, responds to prolonged low value overloads.
