This magnetic-only breaker does not provide thermal overload protection; a correctly selected motor overload relay or equivalent overload protection is required where motor overload protection is needed.
- Three-phase motor short-circuit protection
- Motor control centres and industrial switchboards
- Switchboard feeder and branch-circuit protection where magnetic-only protection is suitable
- Industrial machinery and motor starters
- Commercial and industrial power distribution assemblies
- Designed to IEC 60947-1 and IEC 60947-2 requirements for low-voltage switchgear and circuit-breakers
- AS/NZS IEC 60947.2:2015 is the relevant Australian/New Zealand circuit-breaker standard; verify product conformity, RCM requirements and installation suitability before use
- Installations must comply with AS/NZS 3000
- Moulded-case construction and metallic conductive materials can be recovered through appropriate electrical-equipment recycling streams
- Durable switching components and a long operating life can reduce replacement frequency and associated material waste
- Supports efficient and reliable motor-system protection, helping reduce damage-related equipment waste
