About Circuit Breakers

Circuit breakers are essential safety devices designed to automatically interrupt electrical flow in the event of an overload or short circuit, preventing damage to equipment and reducing fire hazards. Unlike fuses, which must be replaced after tripping, circuit breakers can be reset and reused, offering long-term reliability and cost savings. They are critical in both residential and industrial electrical systems for ensuring operational safety.

Magnetic circuit breakers, like the E-T-A 8340 series, use an electromagnet to detect overcurrent conditions, providing fast and precise tripping without being affected by ambient temperature changes. This makes them ideal for applications requiring stable performance under varying environmental conditions. Their ability to handle both AC and DC voltages further enhances their versatility across diverse industries.

Frequently Asked Questions

Question: What is the difference between UL1077 and UL489 approvals?

Answer: UL1077 is for supplementary protectors, often used in equipment, while UL489 is for branch circuit breakers, typically used in panelboards. This breaker carries both UL1077 and UL489A approvals, offering flexibility for various applications.

Question: Can this breaker be used in DC circuits?

Answer: Yes, it is rated for up to 80V DC, making it suitable for many DC power systems.

Question: Is the actuator illuminated?

Answer: No, this model does not feature illumination.

Question: What does hydraulic delay mean?

Answer: Hydraulic delay allows the breaker to tolerate temporary inrush currents, such as those from motors or transformers, without nuisance tripping, while still providing protection against sustained overloads.

Question: How many poles does this breaker have?

Answer: It is a 2-pole breaker, meaning it can interrupt two circuits simultaneously.

Question: Can I get a datasheet for this product?

Answer: Yes, the datasheet is available on PCXCo.com for detailed technical information.
