Eaton NZMB2-S40-BT-CNA Molded Case Breaker - 25 kAIC
Part Number: NZMB2-S40-BT-CNA
Quick Summary
The NZMB2-S40-BT-CNA molded case circuit breaker protects motor drives up to 40 A in 440 Vac systems. Engineers often struggle to balance robust protection with quick installation in compact panels, especially where motor drives demand reliable magnet-only protection. Key specifications include a magnetic-only trip, 25 kAIC interrupt capacity, and a three-pole NZMB2 frame designed for motor protection without overload release. Compliance guidance varies by region, so confirm CE, SIL, and IP ratings with Eaton to maintain regulatory alignment. This solution also supports front-frame mounting and straightforward maintenance, enabling reduced downtime while meeting end-user uptime targets and overall system reliability.

Feature → Business Impact → Application: Magnetic-only trip provides immediate fault interruption for motor drives, reducing coil damage and line-side fault propagation, which translates to lower maintenance costs and less unplanned downtime in automated production lines. Application: Suitable for control panels and motor-driven equipment where overload protection is managed separately, allowing precise coordination with upstream protective devices. Feature → Front frame clamp and box terminals simplify mounting and wiring, accelerating panel installation and future service, which minimizes commissioning time for OEMs and refurbishments. Application: Ideal for compact enclosures and retrofit projects where space is at a premium. Feature → NZM2 frame with three poles ensures consistent protection across motor circuits, enabling uniform trip characteristics and easier device replacement during plant upgrades. Application: Applies to machine controls, conveyors, and processing lines requiring dependable magnetic protection without overload release. Feature → 40 A, 440 Vac rating with 25 kAIC interrupt capacity delivers robust short-circuit resilience, supporting safe operation in demanding environments. Application: Power distribution in industrial facilities with moderate motor loads and high fault-current potential. Feature → Rocker lever and motor drive accessories support ergonomic operation and flexible control integration, improving operator experience and system automation. Application: Suitable for automation cabinets and drive aisles where interface with drives and soft starters is common. Feature → Adjustment range 320-560 A delayed provides tailored short-circuit release timing, enabling selective coordination with downstream protection devices. Application: Helps optimize protection curves for varying motor sizes and startup transients.
