Special features
Indicating, High in-rush current motor protection
Feature → Business Impact → Application: The time-delay dual-element design minimizes nuisance trips during motor start-up and inrush, reducing unplanned downtime and extending motor life in conveyors, pumps, and fans. This leads to improved line availability and lower maintenance costs in critical process lines. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Current-limiting capability reduces fault currents and speeds fault clearing, protecting conductors, contactors, and upstream protection devices, while helping to coordinate selective tripping in motor control centers. Application includes HVAC compressors, machine tools, and material-handling equipment where precise protection matters. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Compact 2 inch length with 0.56 inch width and height and standard packaging enables straightforward retrofit into existing fuse blocks and panel boards, cutting installation time and reducing wiring complexity across retrofit projects. Feature → Business Impact → Application: 300 kAIC interrupt rating at 250 Vac and 100 kAIC at 125 Vdc provides robust protection for high-energy circuits, lowering arc-flash risk and supporting compliant panel design in industrial settings. Feature → Business Impact → Application: CE marking and Class RK1 alignment simplify regulatory compliance for European installations while offering dependable performance in global facilities. Special features include high in-rush current motor protection, enhancing protection for motors subject to surge loads.
