What is a Circuit Protection device?

A circuit protection device is a fail-safe device that originates a disruption in an electrical circuit when it recognizes an excess and unsafe power load in a circuit. The main aims of circuit protection are to localise and isolate the situation or fault and avert and minimize any unnecessary power loss.

What Do We Supply?

We have broad selection of circuit protection devices, including:

Circuit breakers

Thermal circuit breakers

Thermal-magnetic circuit breakers

Magnetic circuit breakers

Hydraulic-magnetic circuit breakers

Fuses

LV fuse links

LV fusegear
