Circuit breakers avoid unnecessary downtime
Eaton Heinemann circuit breakers address the need for protection with maximum uptime, even where mains power supply may be subject to exceptional, but transient, surges.
Colour and switch markings can be varied to reflect the safety regulations or custom of the destination country.
Heinemann hydraulic-magnetic breakers are for temperature independent operation in electrical applications, such as in process plants that need protection without the danger of nuisance tripping.
The breakers can carry 100% of their rated current, even at elevated temperatures.
Models are available that comply with various time-delay trip curves to meet the needs of different electrical conditions.
Units will even cope with a current in-rush below their threshold rating without nuisance tripping.
Hydraulic-magnetic circuit breakers are available in the AMR series with ratings up to 100A and interruption currents up to 50kA to eliminate the need for branch fusing.
ACR breakers are approved under UL1077 and 489; IEC approval is in progress.
