Thermal Circuit Breaker 3120-N: All-In-One Solution - Protecting and Switching in a Single Component

For many design engineers it is the perfect solution to make their equipment reliable, compact and economic. The 3120-N thermal circuit breaker is the professional all-in-one solution for devices & machines. Well-proven a million times over, the 3120 reliably disconnects overcurrent and also serves as an ON/OFF switch. After tripping due to an overcurrent, the user can easily and quickly reset the 3120-N to resume operation. Time-consuming replacement of fuses is eliminated.

Your Benefits
•  Unrivalled equipment availability
•  Reduced mounting and wiring time
•  pace-saving design
•  Reduced planning and storage costs
•  Enhanced reliability

Seven In One
E-T-A’s 3120-N circuit breaker here replaces 2 blade fuse holders, 2 blade fuses, a double pole rocker switch as well as the two cable connections between the rocker switch and fuse holder.

You are Free to Choose
A wealth of product versions is available of the 3120-N circuit breaker/switch combination. Depending on the requirements, you can choose between rocker and push button actuation. Product versions range from standard types to versions with actuator and/or dust and water splash protection.

Easy Actuation
Thanks to freely accessible rocker actuators and large push buttons, the breakers can conveniently be operated even if fitted with actuator guards or water splash protection. Switching the device is simple, even when the user is wearing gloves. Particularly noteworthy is the globally unique variant with innovative accordion-style seal. Even this version features a freely accessible rocker which provides a clearly visible status indication (ON or OFF).

International Approvals
Thanks to a great number of international approvals, the 3120-N is fit for global use:

Fuseholder for Very High Power

• First fuse holder on the market according to the upcoming extension of the IEC standard 60127-6
• Particularly compact for a 6.3x32 fuse holder with this rating
• Easy assembly due to snap-in system
• Safe handling, as it can only be opened with tools

Closed fuse holders are a fine thing: the fuse is well protected and yet easy to replace. According to IEC-60127-6, however, the limit was previously 16 A. Thanks to an extension of this standard initiated by SCHURTER, this is now history. The new FXP fuse holder for 6.3x32 fuse links is designed for rated currents up to 25 A (IEC) or 45 A (UL).

The new Schhurter FXP fuse holder for 6.3x32 fuses has been explicitly designed for high-power applications. Its nominal data is an impressive proof: according to IEC, the rating is 25A @ 500VAC (8 watts) or UL 45A @ 600VAC/VDC. This makes it the first fuse holder that already fulfils the upcoming extension of the IEC standard 60127-6.

Derating at High Ambient Temperatures
What makes the FXP particularly interesting is its high current capability in use at elevated temperatures. The IEC and UL ratings are always based on normal conditions. In the case of a fuse holder, this means +23 °C (IEC) or +25 °C (UL). If a fuse holder is used above these temperatures, its capacity decreases with increasing temperature. The FXP fuse holder still achieves a maximum power of 4 watts even at 50°C ambient temperature. Today's fuse holders of similar size only achieve such values at room temperature. This circumstance creates safety reserves at increased operating temperatures.

Efficient Mounting
Thanks to snap-in mounting technology, the FXP is ready for use in no time. With its IP40 protection class, it is primarily designed for indoor applications. A solder connection is available on the connection side.
