SCHURTER builds on thermal release technology
SCHURTER has now built on its thermal release technology (bimetal), as the established TA35 and TA36 models are now available with an optional magnetic module, ensuring rapid protection in the event of extreme overcurrent, such as during a short circuit.
Thermal circuit breakers
Traditionally, circuit breakers are based on the thermal principle, utilising a bimetal strip. When an overcurrent causes the temperature to rise beyond a specified limit, the circuit is interrupted. Once the bimetal cools down, the device can be reset and used again. However, in the case of a short circuit, the response time of the bimetal is insufficient, necessitating the use of a fuse in conjunction with the thermal circuit breaker.
Enhanced protection with magnetic module
SCHURTER has now enhanced its two-pole TA35 and TA36 models by introducing an optional magnetic module. This upgrade eliminates the need for an additional fuse when using a thermal-magnetic version. Depending on the application, the magnetic modules are available with either a slow or fast acting response.
Both the TA35 and TA36 are designed for snap-in mounting and offer a finely graduated range of rated currents. The availability of various colours and lighting options provides designers with greater flexibility. The TA35 retains a classic appearance, while the TA36 features a more contemporary design.
Circuit breakers equipped with short circuit protection are particularly suited for applications where comprehensive primary side protection is essential.
