Protect personnel, asset and machine reliability

Our molded case circuit breakers are known globally for reliable operator and asset protection. With the new generation of digital circuit breakers now available, operator protection during maintenance has been greatly improved. Additionally, the integrated, highly accurate sensing functionality provides almost all available data from the electrical circuit. Several communication options make it easy to collect this information and make it available for data analytics or energy management systems. This is a big step to enable your operation to become digital and more efficient.

The energy requirement of individual DC consumers in machines like sensors and motors is becoming lower. The switching power supplies have also undergone a technology change, which is now carried out electronically. This means that in the event of a fault, on the secondary side, only small short-circuit currents are likely to occur. A classic miniature circuit breaker (MCB) trip often delays, or in the worst-case scenario – doesn´t detect the fault. See what advantages electronic overload protection can offer.

 

Residual currents can become a major risk to business continuity as they may cause outages or even fires. The protection of circuits with reliable residual current breakers (RCD) is essential to every operation. But in critical environments, like those with water and high humidity, the reliability of a standard RCD may be affected. With our digital RCD, you can be sure that your operation is protected against risks from residual currents even in challenging conditions. 

When building machines and systems for the North American market, the design of the electrical circuits and the correct choice of protection, switching or pilot devices is dependent on understanding UL / CSA codes and standards. Getting the right information and support on the regulations and when they change is essential for machine builders working globally. The combination of a broad database of documentation, plus training and support teams, and access to a wide portfolio of certified products makes us the ideal partner.
