Thermal-magnetic circuit breaker ECONOMY SMART

When it comes to protecting loads at the 24 V level, conventional circuit breakers are steadily losing ground to electronic circuit breakers. Besides tighter tolerances and a more compact design, these offer further advantages that can really add value within a system if used correctly. When teamed with a higher-level control system, electronic circuit breakers support, via a digital input and output, active switching on or off of any output channel, resetting of tripped circuits and simultaneous reporting of current operating and error statuses. BLOCK multichannel circuit breakers only need up 5.25 mm per channel with all 8-channel modules and can be integrated into the overall control and monitoring process. OVERVIEW › Reliable switch-on of high capacities (> 50.000 μF) › Optimum tripping characteristic for any application › Adjustable tripping current per channel › Group alarm signal for simple diagnosis › Sequential and load-dependent switching-on of channels › Comprehensive single-channel diagnosis › Remote reset of tripped channels Economy Smart circuit breakers with thermomagnetic characteristic provide an economical alternative to conventional circuit breakers. They also ensure reliable tripping even in the event of a high line resistance. This makes the circuit breakers ideal for use in standard machine production. The tripping time depends on the level of overcurrent. In the event of a short circuit, the defective circuit will shut down within a few milliseconds. The level of the short circuit current depends on the current limiting of the feeding power supply as well as the line resistance.
