Schneider Electric 0.63 → 1 A TeSys Motor Protection Circuit Breaker

Keen to put the brakes on short circuits and overloads before they reach your squirrel cage motor? Reach for this motor protection circuit breaker from Schneider Electric. It uses a thermal-magnetic tripping mechanism that monitors your circuit and cuts power to downstream equipment in the event of faults. This prevents damage to your gear and protects you from any shocks. Thanks to its rotary handle, it's easy to reset this piece of kit after it's tripped, saving you time and effort.

• 1A current rating makes it suitable for use in light-duty applications
• Can be mounted on a panel or DIN rail for versatility
• Mechanical durability of 100,000 operating cycles for long-term performance
• Broad operating temperature range between -20°C and +60°C for use in challenging settings
• 6kV rated impulse withstand voltage to handle sudden power spikes without suffering damage

• Material handling machinery
• Agricultural equipment
• Food production facilities

A circuit breaker, like this one, can be quickly reset after it's tripped. A fuse, on the other hand, is a sacrificial device that's destroyed when it blows, so must be replaced.
