Need more MCBs but have no space available? Do your customers ask for a more compact solution? Do you need to de-rate your MCBs because of heat?
The solution is here!
The hydraulic-magnetic mechanism is temperature independent and therefore the circuit breaker can be made thinner. The module width can be reduced from 18mm to 13mm, enabling >30% more distribution points and perfect conditions for compact solutions on DIN rails.
Thermal circuit breakers still dominate the market overall, but hydraulic-magnetic breakers have made great inroads into segments such as telecom power, marine applications and in renewable energy and energy storage applications.
Space costs money and space-saving circuit protection can make applications more profitable. Especially when you can design your system with the current ratings you need and not de-rate because of elevated temperatures. De-rating means adjusting your entire system for higher current then the application actually needs. In other words increased cost for cables, busbar systems etc.
