Thermal Circuit Breaker with Modern Design and Refreshing Colors
• New design with a variety of color combinations
• Unique UL rating of 277 VAC
• Finely graded rated currents
Improving a good product - this was the principle behind the development of the Schurter TA36 thermal circuit breaker. Based on the TA35, which has been successfully proven for many years, a refreshing product with a contemporary look was developed.
No longer only functionality and quality matter. Today, a good product must also withstand the critical gaze of a clientele who is accustomed to design.
Refreshing Design
A switch is operated with fingers - sensible sensors. Surfaces and materials are providing a direct feedback, to indicate and feel the quality of a product. Gently curved lines and the best materials combined in the TA36 result in an appealing feeling. Both the flange (3 colours) and the actuator (7 colours) are available in a variety of trendy colours and colour combinations with 5 different types of markings.
Proven Technology
Technically, the TA36 series offers proven technology over years: it is a particularly versatile series of miniature circuit breakers with an especially high UL rating of 277 VAC. It is available as a 1- or 2-pole version and impresses with its compact dimensions.
Wide Range of Applications
The new TA36 offers both the function of an appliance switch and thermal overcurrent protection. Finely graded rated currents from 0.05 A to 20 A are available for 1- and 2-pole circuit breakers. The TA36 switches are designed for efficient snap-in mounting and are equipped with plug-in connections (Quick Connect).
There are almost no limits for the TA36 to find its purpose in various applications: from industrial and medical technology to consumer goods, a TA36 fits almost everywhere.
The TA36 Circuit Breaker is Characterised by Following Key Data:
• Nominal voltage up to 277 VAC and 60 VDC

E. Preston (Electrical) Ltd was established in 1980 as a specialist distributor of switches and electrical components. Beginning with only 3 franchises the company currently has over 40 different franchises and holds approximately half a million pounds worth of stock.
Now in the third generation of family ownership E Preston Electrical continues to grow and build on traditional values.
“We work hard for our customers to get the best products at the best prices while providing exceptional customer service. We always do what we say we will, even if that is just a call back,” says Mark Preston, MD.
This is a principle that was rooted in the business from its inception over 30 years ago by founder, and grandfather to the current directors, Ernest Preston.
Although there is still a great emphasis on these traditional values the company has embraced new technology in all of its business operations and now launches a new digital venture. The new interactive e-shop eprestononline.co.uk is aimed at increasing accessibility to existing and new customers.
“We have access to the latest technology from our suppliers,” says Matthew Preston, sales director. “We want to make dealing with E Preston as easy as possible. We will continue to visit new and existing customers, and speak to them on the telephone, but with eprestononline we can offer them access to our company whenever they want.”
The new eShop will allow customers to log in to their own portal to view orders, print off documents such as acknowledgements and invoices, and allows them to place repeat orders. Data sheets and supplier catalogues will also be readily available.
The company believes it maintains its position as a traditional company - or more appropriately, a modern company with traditional values.

FMBC EP 3-Phase Mains Filter
• Compact design with minimal footprint
• Double-stage filter with high attenuation
• Variants for high voltage applications
• Wide temperature range
Schurter introduces the FMBC EP double-stage filter family for 3 phase systems. Thanks to its particularly compact dimensions and high performance, the new filter series is ideally suited for the tight space conditions in today's machine and industrial plant construction. Due to versions with high nominal voltages, a particularly wide field of applications is possible.
Space is scarce in control cabinets for industrial applications in the 3-phase range. Schhurter has addressed this problem with another complete filter redesign, which is much more compact than previous generations. The new, almost cuboidal design makes optimum use of the space in the housing. Thanks to a double-stage filter and the use of the highest quality components (generously dimensioned film capacitors, chokes with highly permeable cores), the new development shines with exceptional broadband filter attenuation.
Suitable for High EMC Emissions
The double-stage filter family is therefore also appropriate for applications with particularly high EMC emissions, as is frequently encountered in industry. Typical applications include machines and systems for automatic production, motor drives and industrial plant machinery. These powerful filters are also the first choice for modern frequency inverters for motor control.
Mounting
The FMBC EP series features screw terminals for absolutely safe wiring. Thanks to the metal flange, an excellent earth connection is ensured when screwed to the chassis.
Wide Temperature and Voltage Range
The standard types can be used over a wide temperature range from -40 °C to 100 °C. The filters are designed for currents from 16 A to 230 A at an ambient temperature of 50 °C. They have both ENEC and cURus approval and are recommended for applications up to 520 VAC or even 760 VAC.
Leakage Current
The standard versions are designed for industrial applications with leakage currents <4 mA. Special variants with leakage currents <1 mA are available for leakage current critical applications.
Applications
• Industrial equipment, machines
• Robotics
•Motor drive applications
•Machine tools
• Energy inverters
The completely redesigned FMBC EP models are the ideal replacement for all types of Schurter FMBC and FMBC NEO filters. They offer identical performance with significantly reduced dimensions and weight.
