Circuit Breakers
DIN rail-mounted equipment protection
To choose a circuit breaker,
determine the following:
DIN rail-mounted
Thermal Miniature and Thermal Magnetic Circuit Breakers
Thermal Miniature Circuit Protection (TCP)
The normal current load (nominal current)
Specify the size of the breaker in amps based on the normal
current load.
Possible types of failure
Match the short-circuit and overload protection requirements
to the performance characteristics of the breaker.
Rupture capacity
Specify the breaker, knowing the maximum fault current that
can be repeatedly (3x minimum) interrupted without failure
of the breaker.
Maximum interrupting capacity
Choose the breaker, knowing the maximum current at a
given voltage that the breaker can interrupt safely without
damage to surrounding components.
The wire size the breaker must accommodate
Determine if the breaker can accept the wire sizes required.
Thermal circuit proctectors use heat-sensitive bimetallic elements that respond to
overload electrical currents.
How fast the circuit breaker must react
to a fault condition
Specify a breaker by selecting a speed that avoids
nuisance tripping but protects against component damage.
Thermal Miniature Circuit Protectors are compact protectors designed to
interrupt an electric current under overload conditions. The protector can accommodate
ten nominal currents ranging from 0.10 A to 10 A.
How many poles are needed
Determine the number of poles needed that are
connected electrically and structurally.
After an overload has occurred, TCP breakers are easily reset by pushing the reset button.
The breakers can be plugged into UK 6-FSI/C (screw) or ST 4-FSI/C (spring) terminal
blocks for convenient DIN rail mounting.
Functional requirements of the breaker
Define the requirements for visual inspection, switching,
auxiliary circuits or space.
Thermal Magnetic Circuit Breakers (TMC)
Environmental factors –
temperature, moisture, vibration
Determine if there are unusual conditions in which the
breaker must operate.
Thermal Magnetic circuit breakers interrupt an electrical current under overload
or short-circuit conditions. They have both thermal circuit interruption and magnetic
interruption functions. The thermal function uses heat-sensitive bimetallic elements that
respond to overload currents. The magnetic function responds to very high current
overloads such as those that might occur during short-circuit conditions.
TMC 42 breakers are available in one- or two-pole configuration for currents ranging
from 0.10 to 16 amps. TMC 42 breakers can be snapped directly on a DIN rail. They are
reset by pushing a red reset button.
TMC 60 breakers are available in one-, two-, or three-pole configurations for currents
ranging from 0.5 to 63 amps. TMC 60-Series breakers can be snapped directly on a DIN
rail. They are reset by moving the toggle switch to the green (activation) position.
TMC 1 breakers are available in one-, two- or three-pole configurations for currents
ranging from 0.1 to 32 amps. This high-density breaker has built-in auxiliary contacts.
TMC 1 breakers can be snapped directly on a DIN rail. They are reset by moving the
toggle switch to the I (activation) position.

Thermal (Miniature) Circuit Protectors (TCP)
TCPs are compact circuit protectors designed to interrupt an electric current under
overload conditions. There are ten nominal current ratings available, ranging from 0.10 A
to 10 A.
Technical data for TCP
Screw: 48.11 mm, 1.89 in.
Spring: 45.31 mm, 1.78 in.
(breaker button up)
TCP protectors are trip-free and reset easily after a current interruption by pushing the
reset button. The protector can be plugged into UK 6-FSI/C or ST 4-FSI/C fuse base
terminal blocks for convenient DIN rail-mounting.
