Weidmuller Breakers

The DIN-rail Mounted Circuit Breakers are available for use in applications where circuit protection must be able to distinguish between circuit overloads and short circuits. Each circuit breaker has the ability to be reset without the need to change components.
ESX10-T Series

IDEC Contactors

The YC Series Contactors feature weld-resistant silver alloy contacts, giving them a higher level of reliability and an extra long life. Contacts are also Cadmium-free for environmental safety. YC Overloads feature bimetallic thermal overload relays directly mounted to the contactor.

What is required to cross a Circuit Breaker?

  • Current Rating
  • Trip Curve (B, C, D, K, UC-K, Z, UC-Z, etc)

What is the Difference between the S200 Series and the S500 Series Miniature Circuit breakers?

The S200 Series Circuit Breakers don't satify the UL requirement due to the Isolation Barriers for protection on a feeder circuit. The S200 Series Circuit Breakers are a less expensive means of current protection. The S500 series K type Circuit Breakers have adjustable current settings.

What is the cross from an older S210 series breaker?

The S210 series went to the S280 series. These are being phased out, so the current version would be S200P series (Example: S212 » S282 » S202)

How do I cross my Isomax circuit breaker to Tmax circuit breaker?

  • Verify Interrupting Capacity.
  • Verify circuit breaker amperage.
  • Verify trip unit (thermal magnetic,electronic trip, magnetic only, etc.).
  • Verify number of poles.
  • Verify accessories.

What is the minimum operating voltage for a Tmax with a thermal mangnetic trip unit?

Tmax breakers are available with thermal magnetic trip units from 15A to 800A. The minimum operating voltage is 24VDC.

What is the difference in a straight voltage rating and a slash rating?

  • A circuit breaker with a straight voltage marking e.g. 480V or 600V, maybe applied in a circuit where the nominal voltage between any two conductors does not exceed the circuit breakers ratings.
  • A circuit breaker with a slash rating e.g. 480Y/277V or 600Y/347V, may be applied in a circuit where the nominal voltage to ground from any conductor does not exceed the lower of the two values of the circuit breaker voltage rating, and the nominal voltage between any two conductors does not exceed the higher value of the circuit breaker's voltage rating.

I cannot mount the ABB Flange Handle on my Hoffman Box.

Hoffman enclosures with a universal cut out requires an adapter plate provided by Hoffman. As with all enclosure manufactures the customer should consult the enclosure manufacturer's catalog.

I Need A Kirk Key what does ABB Offer

ABB does not sell a kirk key. We only sell the provisions for the kirk key on the E-Max breakers. We do Sell a Kirk Key lock adaptor plate.

Can I get a ground alarm only with the Emax breaker?

Yes. When you use the PR122/P-LSIG or the PR123/P-LSIG it is possible to disable the trip control of the G protection function. Circuit breaker opening does not take place, only the alarm condition is signaled. For remote signaling of the alarm the electrical signaling module can be used.

If I need an ammeter which Emax trip unit should I select?

An ammeter is standard on both the PR122/P and the PR123/P trip units.
