Emcomp’s hydraulic-magnetic circuit breakers provide safe and reliable protection against overload and short-circuit. The hydraulic-magnetic design enable compact circuit breakers that withstand harsh environments. Ideal for a wide range of applications.
A very compact circuit breaker for space saving installations and various type of equipment protection. B-frame series can be built in one and two pole configurations. They can also be build as AC as well as DC breaker so you get correct product for your voltage. B-frame is approved to IEC/EN 60934. On the UL side it exist as UL recognized (UL1077) and UL listed to UL489A. B-frame also carry CCC-approval for the Chinese market.
Just as the other CBE products from CBI, the B-frame is built up of several different building blocks, like a “LEGO”. I.e. there are many different variables that can be combined to suite your application in the best possible way. Example is, except of obvious options like rated current and time delay, is: Handle, terminals, color, printing, auxilliary switch, trip alarm switch etc. The classic rocker handle can even be supplied with illumination, the illuminated rocker.
For more details and options, see the general datasheet and drawing under “Datasheet”.
In order to have best possible price and availability we have focused on one standard range for DC use, see special datasheet as well as part number under “products variants”.
Always keep rated current regardless of temperature
The main advantage of HY-MAG circuit breakers over traditional thermal-magnetic MCBs is their insensitivity to ambient temperature variations. HY-MAG breakers maintain their rated current capacity from -40°C to +85°C, while thermal-magnetic MCBs only perform reliably at room temperature.
At around 30°C, thermal-magnetic MCBs can only handle about 75% of their rated current, requiring de-rating. This de-rating often leads to the need for higher-rated (and more expensive) MCBs, as well as increased costs for cables and busbar systems, along with reduced accuracy in applications.
Advantages of HY-MAG Circuit Breakers
Immediate reset after tripping Unlike thermal magnetic MCBs, HY-MAG breakers can be immediately reset after an overload.
Dedicated products for AC and DC HY-MAG breakers are specifically designed for either AC or DC applications to handle differences in breaking currents and prevent arc extinguishing issues.
Energy efficiency HY-MAG breakers have about 45% lower internal resistance than thermal magnetic MCBs, reducing energy loss and costs.
No aging of the sensing device HY-MAG’s sensing mechanism is hermetically sealed, avoiding exposure to air, humidity, and pollution, ensuring long-term reliability.
Worldwide approvals HY-MAG products meet high certification requirements according to both European (IEC 60947-2) and American standards (UL489/UL489A or UL1077).
