PLN4 xPole Miniature Circuit Breaker

Pln4 Pic1

The PLN4 miniature circuit breaker (MCB) is a protective
device that’s equipped with both a thermal and an
electromagnetic release. The former responds in the event
of an overload, while the latter offers protection against
short circuits.

The 1+N-pole MCB is only 1 HP wide and is
available with rated currents from 2 A to 40 A. The switching
capacity is 4.5 kA. The circuit breaker, which is available with
tripping characteristics B and C, is equipped with a red-green
contact-position indicator for indicating the device state.

E-T-A High Performance Circuit Breakers

Typical Applications

High performance circuit breakers are ideally suited to protect against overcurrent and short circuit for use in aircraft and vehicles and other specialised equipment where safety is paramount. Battery isolation switches are ideally suited for installation in the main battery systems of heavy duty vehicles including tankers, boats, off-road plant and other battery-powered equipment.

Technology

High performance circuit breakers feature thermal or thermal-magnetic trip and an extremely high rupture capacity. Battery isolation switches are also based on a thermal-magnetic trip mechanism. The thermal part of the circuit breaker provides delayed protection in the event of overload, the magnetic part disconnects the faulty circuit in the event of overload or short circuit within milliseconds.

Customized High Performance Circuit Breakers such as SG, AP or CBM types are available on request. All products of this group provide genuine physical contact isolation.

Schurter Green Line – Portfolio Doubled

Schurter Green Line

Schurter Green Line – Portfolio Doubled

  • IEC 60320 Connectors with Plant-Based Housings
  • Up to 52% Less CO2
  • No Loss of Quality At All

The first plant-based Schurter connectors were launched in July last year. Now Schurter is following suit and significantly expanding its portfolio of “Green Line” connectors. Because wherever you can reduce your CO2 footprint without compromising on quality, you really should do so.

As with the launch of the first series of Green Line products, Schurter remains true to its policy of offering a version with plant-based housings for products that are already established on the market. This approach offers customers of these products the great advantage that no redesigns or recertifications are
necessary when replacing the old connectors based on fossil raw materials. The Schurter Green Line is therefore a 1:1 replacement with all certifications.

New to the Green Line
The steadily expanding Schurter Green Line now includes the 4797 appliance outlet, the 4798 and 6080 appliance inlets and the 4782 rewireable connector.

Bio-Based Plastics
The environmentally friendly alternative to the fossil-based plastics commonly used today are plastics made from plant-based raw materials. Plant-based raw materials have a neutral CO2 footprint over their entire life cycle, which leads to a significant reduction in overall CO2 emissions. In addition, bio-based plastics often have a lower density than fossil-based plastics, which leads to lower material consumption.

Quality
In addition to CO₂ reduction, the bioplastic is also impressive in terms of safety and quality. It meets all technical and visual requirements. Products made from bioplastics impress with the same performance and service life as those made from fossil, crude oil-based plastic. Of course with all the international approvals needed.

E-T-A Hydraulic-Magnetic and Magnetic Overcurrent Circuit Breakers

Typical Applications

Ideally suited to protect against overcurrent and short circuit of printed circuit boards, semi-conductors and telecommunications equipment.

Technology

Circuit breakers with magnetic or hydraulic-magnetic trip mechanism respond extremely fast and provide genuine physical contact isolation. Magnetic trip ensures disconnection of the faulty circuit nearly without delay in the event of short circuit, but also in the event of low overloads. Our models also provide hydraulically delayed switching characteristic required for certain applications.
