E-T-A Introduces New Compact Rail-Mounted Thermal-Magnetic Circuit Breaker

E-T-A Circuit Breakers' 4220-T thermal-magnetic circuit breaker

September 1, 2008 - Mt. Prospect, IL - E-T-A Circuit Breakers is pleased to announce the 4220-T circuit breaker - the most recent addition to its din rail mounted product line.  With a width of only 12.5 mm, the 4220-T allows maximum utilization of cabinet space in automated equipment in a wide range of industries.


Specifications and Approvals:

The single pole thermal-magnetic 4220-T is available in current ratings from 0.1... 32A and has a selection of four different trip characteristics (F1, F2, M1, and T1).  The range of versions allows the exact specifications of continuous loads and inrush currents, load circuits and cable cross sections specific to individual customer requirements.  Approved to UL 489 (AC 120V; DC 60 V) and UL 1077 (AC 277 V; DC 60 V) the 4220-T has a rupture capacity of 5kA.  Integral signal contacts (N/O or N/C) are available and indicate circuit interruptions via a PLC.  It is designed for optimized wiring by means of an integral busbar (line entry busbar LINE+ and signal busbars/signal jumpers).

Applications:

The 4220-T's high rupture capacity of 5000A makes it an appropriate solution for battery buffered applications in the chemical industry.  Mainly suitable for DC applications, the 4220 is also appropriate for the protection of power supplies, equipment and cables in centralized and decentralized installations serving automation, petro-chemical, power plant, steel and similar industrial applications.

Availability:

E-T-A's 4220-T thermal-magnetic circuit breaker is available from stock with an approximate lead time of 6-8 weeks.  For more information on the 4220-T or any of E-T-A's broad selection of din rail mounted circuit protection devices, call E-T-A at 800-462-9979 or click here.
