SCHURTER ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS ... Circuit Breakers for Equipment

 

FUSEHOLDER STYLE CIRCUIT BREAKER IS RoHS COMPLIANT
T9 Series is First Lead-free Fuseholder Style Circuit Breaker

Schurter's new T9 series circuit breaker for equipment is free from lead and other hazardous materials as outlined by the European Union's Restriction on the Use of Hazardous Substance (RoHS). The new design is equipped with the same proven features, such as fuseholder body style, snap-in mounting (5/8" or 16mm diameter hole), and push-to-reset button. Its tripping operation is (cycling) trip-free.

Fuseholder style circuit breakers are ideal substitutes for panel fuses where inrush currents cause nuisance trips, or aging of the fusing element overtime. Resetting the circuit can avoid unnecessary downtime and maintenance costs associated with replacing fuses. Improper replacement with the wrong current rating is also prevented. The circuit breaker button extends to indicate when the circuit is interrupted. The button returns to depressed status when pushed-to-reset. The ampere rating is clearly visible on the face.

Typical applications include lighting, power tools, industrial appliances, medical diagnostic appliances, sports and hobby machinery, HVAC. The Schurter T9 series meets UL standard 1077 for Supplementary Protection, CSA C22.2.235, EN 60934 and GB 17701. cURus, VDE and CCC approvals are pending. Current ratings range from 5-16 Amps at 240 Volts AC and 5-8 Amps at 48 Volts DC, 10-16 Amps at 32 Volts DC. Terminals are ¼" or 6.3 mm quick-disconnect. 
 

AS168X: From 0.5 to 30A also suitable as Manual Motor Controller according UL 508 and
CSA 22.2 No. 14

The AC versions of the AS168X (trip characteristics F, G and H) can also be used now in the current range from 0.5 to 30 A as Manual Motor Controllers for direct control of motors connected across-the-line (direct-on-line). We fulfill the requirements of
UL 508 and CSA 22.2 No.14 for the application as Manual Motor Controller intended for use as a Motor disconnect. The approvals of UL 1077, CSA 22.2 No.235 and EN 60950 remain valid. The AS168X can be used thus as a Circuit Breaker of Equipment (CBE) or as a Manual Motor Controller (MMC).

The new approbation as Manual Motor Controller means:
- suitable as Motor Overload Protection (thermal and magnetic)
- suitable as Motor Starting across-the-line (direct-on-line)
- suitable as Motor Starting with Motor disconnect
(cos phi 0.4 - 0.5)
- suitable as Motor Group Installation (short circuit capacity 5 kA)
- suitable for Control Circuits

In order to derive the rated current of the AS168X from a motor capacity, the approval includes a HP?Rating (Horsepower). 
 

Series Combining Appliance Inlet, Line-Filter and Circuit Breaker for Equipment Rated
16 Amps IEC/EN (20A UL/CSA)

Schurter's new power entry module, series EF11, combines an appliance inlet, according to IEC/EN 60320-1, and 2-pole circuit breaker for equipment. Unlike popular fused modules, the circuit breaker provides manual reset of the circuit, and higher current limiting characteristics. It also provides circuit status indication depending on the switch position (I/O).
Circuit breaker options include 1 or 2-pole thermal overload protection up to 16A (20A), or without bi-metal for 2-pole on/off switching only (max. 16A). An optional under-voltage release can detect power loss and protect against unwanted restart. A remote trip function is also available.

Power entry modules are designed to save panel space, cut parts count and streamline wiring. The EF11 is pending VDE approvals up to 16A at 250 Volts, and UL & CSA up to 20A at 125 and 250 Volts. Applications include higher power consuming equipment, like CAD systems, office automation equipment, industrial workstations, base stations, file servers, bar coding equipment and power supplies.

The EF11 will be available with a line-filter in early 2002, type EF12. 
 

PEM45 Power Entry Module Breaks New Ground

5145 - with filter
6145 - without filter

Schurter's latest power entry innovation combines a filtered AC inlet and circuit breaker, expanding its conventional range to include a manual reset option for primary circuit protection. Circuit breaker options include 1 or 2-pole thermal overcurrent protection, or no bi-metal for 2-pole on/off switching only. Filter options include standard and medical grade with improved performance at higher frequencies. Current ratings range from 1-15 Amps at 250 Volts.
