The FAZ series of miniature circuit breakers (MCBs) from Eatons xEffect range has a current limiting design providing fast short-circuit interruption that reduces the let-through electrical energy and overload currents that can damage the circuit.

Ideally suited to control circuits and electrical distribution boards the FAZ series of MCBs offer a wide range of diverse protection characteristics, protecting your electrical equipment against overload damage. For additional safety, the MCB breaker cannot be defeated by holding the handle in the ON position, these MCBs are also finger proof and have a trip-free mechanism.

These MCBs have both a thermal and electromagnetic release, with rated currents of 0.16 A up to 63 A and a switching capacity of 15kA or 10kA depending on the device type.

The FAZ series includes miniature circuit breakers, interlocks, busbars and snap-on accessories including auxiliaries and tripping modules.

• Thermal-magnetic overcurrent protection
• Power to the miniature circuit breakers can be fed from the line or load side
• Clear indication of contact position via front switch toggle
• Easy installation on DIN rail. MCB module width of only 17.5 mm (per pole)
• Six levels of short-circuit protection, categorized by Type B, C, D, K, S and Z curves
• Small modular width of the device and accessories saves space in the panel or equipment, which can lead to cost savings
• Available in single pole up to 4 pole
• Dual rating for IEC 60947-2 standard
• MCB Module widths: 1P 17.5mm, 2P 35mm and 3P 52.5mm

IEC 60947-2 Relates to Low Voltage Circuit Breakers for use in industrial and similar installations. In the UK these are traditionally known as miniature circuit breakers (MCBs), moulded case circuit breakers
(MCCBs) and also air circuit breakers (ACBs).

Are electrical surges causing problems in your industrial network? Use this miniature circuit breaker from Eaton to protect control circuits and switchgear from damage. It's a type C device, so it trips instantly when it detects loads that are between five and 10 times higher than the rated amount. Its thermal and electromagnetic release functions ensure you're safeguarded against overloads and short circuits. This three-pole MCB is suitable for systems that are connected to powerful machines such as induction motors and heavy-duty pumps.

• Compact width of 52.5mm means it fits on crowded DIN rails
• Choice of a line or load-side power feed for flexibility of installation
• Device can't be overridden by holding the toggle in the ON position, increasing safety
• Lifespan of 10,000 operations makes it a durable option

The toggle position and indicator colour make it easy to read the status of this MCB. If the breaker has been activated, you'll need to identify and fix the problem before the unit can be reset.
