Understanding SCCR

When it comes to industrial machinery, it’s critical to ensure that electrical panels are designed and built with the proper SCCR to maintain the system, eliminate downtime and increase worker safety. The goal of this paper is to explain why it is important, and how to find the calculations needed.

Best Protection. Best Value!

Our new UL 489 & UL 1077 Miniature Circuit Breakers are the safest in the industry and offer efficient, flexible, user-friendly design and functionality.

Compact Design

17.5mm wide per pole construction for reduced panel size, allowing for smaller control panels.

Industry-Leading Short Circuit Rating

10kA @ 480Y/277V short circuit rating on all current ranges – the highest interruption rating available in the market.

Full-Range Circuit Protection

Available in single pole, single pole + neutral, two pole, three pole, and three pole + neutral constructions and includes both thermal and magnetic trip elements for overload and short circuit protection.

Application Range & Flexibility

Up to 21 unique operating current configurations from 0.5 to 63A and flexible for use in both AC and DC applications.

Trip-Free Design

Holding the operating handle in the ON position will not prevent the miniature circuit breaker from tripping.

Dual Trip Curve

C trip curves have a low thermal trip delay and a mid-range trip function while D trip curves have a high thermal trip delay and a very high magnetic trip point.

Easy Wiring

Captive screws and box lug design terminals for hassle-free and flexible wiring. Dual style terminals accept stranded wire 2.08mm2 – 26.67mm2 (#14 – #3 AWG) and busbar stabs, and are IP20 guarded against accidental contact with live parts.

Easy Installation

35mm DIN rail mounting for fast and easy installation and removal.

Hundreds of Configurations

525 Unique catalog numbers.

White Papers

A Quick Guide: UL 489 or UL 1077 in Control Panels and Equipment

When is a circuit breaker not a circuit breaker? When it’s a UL 1077 Supplementary Protector. Why? Read this short white paper “UL 489 or UL 1077 in Control Panels and Equipment – A Quick Guide” to understand the differences and when to apply one or the other.

Understanding Trip Curves

Trip Curves for circuit protection devices is one of those subjects that some people steer clear of because they find it somewhat intimidating. One of the best ways to learn something, is to teach it to others. This paper on Understanding Trip Curves is a simplified concept taking out most of the scary math, and focusing on the key information you need to know to understand why trip curves are important, how to read them, and hold an intelligent conversation.

Understanding SCCR or Short-Circuit Current Rating

How do you prevent smoke in an industrial control system? Part of that answer is a thorough understanding of how to select and apply circuit breakers. To do that, you need to understand the concept of Short Circuit Current Ratings, or SCCR. This short white paper from c3controls can help you get started down the path of Understanding SCCR.

Enhance the Value of Your Application with Miniature Circuit Breaker Accessories

A standalone Miniature Circuit Breaker is just a current dependent switch which when tripped will turn itself OFF, interrupting power in case of an overload or short circuit.

Miniature Circuit Breakers can offer much more than just current protection. Read our whitepaper to learn how the use of accessories can turn a single-purpose MCB into a multi-purpose assembly.

A Quick Guide – UL 489 or UL 1077 in Control Panels and Equipment

When to use a UL 1077 Supplementary Protector or a UL 489 Branch Circuit Breaker is a common question with machine builders. The general rule is that a UL 489 circuit breaker can protect multiple devices at one time whereas a UL 1077 supplementary protector protects one device. Watch this video to understand the differences between each.

Understanding Trip Curves

What is a trip curve? Simply put, a trip curve is a graphical representation of the expected behavior of a circuit protection device. Choosing the correct trip curve for your application provides reliable circuit protection, while limiting nuisance or false trips. Circuit protection devices come in many forms, including fuses, miniature circuit breakers, molded case circuit breakers, supplementary protectors, motor protection circuit breakers, overload relays, electronic fuses and air circuit breakers.

Watch this video to understand the concept of trip curves and how to read and understand them.

Understanding SCCR or Short-Circuit Current Rating

What is SCCR and why is it important? SCCR stands for Short-Circuit Current Rating. It is the maximum short-circuit current an electrical component can safely withstand without causing a shock or fire hazard. Exceeding the SCCR may cause catastrophic and violent equipment and component failure.

Watch this video to learn why SCCR is important and how to find the calculations needed.
