Eaton PLHT-32-V miniature circuit breaker – 32A industrial protection with 25 kA
The Eaton PLHT-32-V miniature circuit breaker (MCB) offers powerful protection with a 32-ampere rating and a 25 kA breaking capacity. It belongs to the robust PLHT series for industrial applications, making it ideal for use where standard MCBs reach their limits. This makes it the right choice for installations with high short-circuit currents.
The tripping characteristic is similar to characteristic curve D. This allows for particularly high inrush currents. Consequently, it is suitable for transformers, welding machines, and high-performance drives. Furthermore, testing and approval are carried out according to IEC/EN 60947-2. This standard is specifically tailored to industrial requirements.
The key advantage lies in the 25 kA breaking capacity. Short-circuit currents in industrial networks can be significantly higher. Furthermore, energy limiting class 3 restricts the let-through energy. This provides you with a comprehensive protection concept. Additionally, the 440 V insulation voltage offers a high safety margin.
The Eaton PLHT-32-V miniature circuit breaker is mounted on a DIN rail. It is 27 mm wide and accepts conductor cross-sections from 2.5 to 50 mm². It can also be expanded with additional components.
