E-T-A Thermal Overcurrent Circuit Breakers

May 9, 2024
Image

Typical Applications

Thermal circuit breakers (circuit protectors, resettable fuses, circuit breakers for equipment protection) are ideally suited to overload protection of motors, transformers, magnetic valves, on-board electrical systems and low voltage lines.

Technology

The trip time of thermal circuit breakers depends on the height and of the duration of the overload current and the ambient temperature. With higher current ratings, the bimetal or hot wire is heated up until the defined trip time is reached and the device ensures genuine physical isolation of the contacts.
