Eaton miniature circuit breakers protect electrical circuits from damage caused by overload or short circuits. They disconnect the circuit automatically during overcurrent situations to avoid the risk of electrical fires and equipment damage. Additionally, these Eaton circuit breakers can reset after tripping. As a result, they reduce downtime while critical equipment and processes continue to receive uninterrupted power. Read Less
Mount the unit loosely on a panel or switchboard and tighten it using screws, washers & nuts. Make sure that the accessory wirings can be reached.
Install an optional terminal end cover and then connect the terminals to the accessory leads. Install the terminal shield & interphase barrier if required.
Finally, check all the hardware to finish up the installation.
Switch the circuit breaker On to pass current through the contacts.
When a fault or issue is detected, these contacts move away from each other and trip the unit.
Users should first troubleshoot the issue before resetting the breaker.
In case of a thermal trip, the circuit breaker needs to cool down first before resetting.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are the different electrical ratings of these Eaton circuit breakers?
These Eaton circuit breakers having 1 to 4 pole connections feature a current rating ranging from 10 to 2500
What are the points to inspect before operating these Eaton circuit breakers?
Clean the area around the breaker by covering them with an enclosure and removing any dust, dirt, grease, moisture, foreign contaminants or safety hazards near the area.
Make sure that the mechanical linkages like the toggle actuator are free to operate, simply by switching the unit ON & OFF several times. Tighten the terminals & connectors.
Users can mechanically test the circuit breaker by pressing the optional push-to-trip button at the bottom side of the unit.
Inspect the unit for any overheating, cracks, chipping or discolouration.
What is the difference between a fuse and a circuit breaker?
Even though the fuses and circuit breakers have similar usage. They differ in their long-term operability. The fuses get damaged once they face overload, whereas circuit breakers can be easily reset after tripping due to the same overload. Due to this reason, circuit breakers are moderately costly. Circuit breakers also have additional protective features like ground fault protection.
Does Eaton offer any smart circuit breakers?
Yes, Eaton BABRSP Series Circuit Breakers are equipped with smart features. They come with a serviceability feature that helps to troubleshoot & diagnose issues within the electrical system.
Does the brand offer three-pole bolt on circuit breakers?
Are these Eaton miniature circuit breakers easy to install?
Eaton circuit breakers, such as CHB Series circuit breakers, when used with a mounting base, can be easily mounted on a surface. They are suitable for DIN rail mount cable-in / cable-out applications.
