The purpose of circuit breakers is to automatically switch off circuits to protect cables and connected devices. After switching off, they can be switched on again manually without, for example, having to replace fuse inserts. Each of our circuit breakers is equipped with a trip-free mechanism that ensures safe switching off, even if, for example, the switch knob is mechanically blocked. The compact circuit breakers in the ELS series monitor a phase and neutral conductor. Contact position indicators and terminal plug-in protection make it easier to see and operate. They are suitable for rated short-circuit currents up to 6 kA. Switches with tripping characteristics C are optimized for power circuits with high inrush or peak currents. Properties: high-quality circuit breaker 1+N in 1 TE for space-saving installation, contact position indicator red-green, clamping aid rear protection, extensive range of accessories can be retrofitted, rated switching capacity 6 kA according to EN 60898, mounting type: quick fastening on mounting rail, installation position as desired, areas of application: suitable for use in power supplies for industrial plants and purpose-built or commercial buildings.
