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).

This mini circuit breaker (MCB) from Eaton is part of the FAZ series of automatically operated electrical switches. It's designed to prevent damage to an electrical circuit caused by overload or short circuits. You can use it to protect more powerful electrical devices where the risk of surges is greater, as it's a C-Curve MCB. This means the unit will trip instantaneously at five to ten times the rated current of 10 A. Circuit breakers like this one are ideal for commercial and industrial applications, such as induction motors or fluorescent lighting.

• Double poles offer protection for two circuits
• Wide AC voltage rating of 240 to 415 V for use in a range of applications
• Compact dimensions of 36 (length) x 84.7 (width) x 72.6 mm (depth) for use in tight spaces

The maximum load this MCB can interrupt without destruction or releasing an arc is 10 kA (kilo amperes). This ensures workplace safety in the event of high current surges.
