INTRODUCTION
The APL/UPL magnetic circuit
breaker provides reliable, low-cost
power switching, circuit protection
and circuit control. The handle
opens and closes a circuit, under
normal load conditions, similar to
an ON-OFF switch. Upon over-
load, the internal mechanism trips,
opens the contacts and forcibly
returns the handle to the OFF
position. Since the breaker is “trip
free,” the internal contacts will not
remain closed in the presence of
an overload, even though the
handle is held in the ON position.
The APL/UPL line offers many
configurations including series,
shunt and relay with a choice
of delays and ratings. APL/UPL
multi-pole assemblies are available
with a mix of current ratings,
delays and internal circuit
configurations.
While designed for industrial,
military and information process-
ing applications, the APL is suitable
for use in any situation where
precision operation is required.
Most versions of the APL family
are recognized by UL and certified
by CSA under the Component or
manual motor controller program
and are designated with the
UPL or MPL prefix respectively.
Additionally, many versions
of the UPL comply with the spac-
ing requirements covered by
IEC specifications 950 and 601
and VDE specifications 0642
(EN60934) and are VDE approved
and CE Compliant. Please contact
the factory for assignment of a
part number.
205/295 Dust Sealed Breaker
Combining the proven mechanism of the APL/UPL circuit breaker with
a unique case design, the 205 version provides increased voltage ratings
plus a dust proof enclosure.
All openings in the case (including arc blowout vent and handle)
have been sealed with resilient rubber or mylar. In addition, case sections
have been designed with tongue and groove construction to provide an
overlapping closure. These features make the 205 ideal for applications
in harsh environments where reliable protection is essential.
205 breakers have standard full load current ratings from 0.050
amperes to 100 amperes and voltage ratings to 65Vdc and 277/480Vac.
Like all Airpax magnetic breakers, the trip current rating is not affected
by ambient temperature.
The 205 is recognized by UL and certified by CSA under the Component
program. Non UL-recognized versions of this series are designated 295.

Multi-Pole Circuit Breakers
Multi-pole breakers are combined in an assembly with the
actuating handles linked and the trip mechanisms internally
coupled. A fault in either protected circuit opens all poles
simultaneously. Applications include use in two-phase circuits,
single-phase three-wire systems or in two or more related
but electrically isolated circuits. A mix of delays, ratings and
configurations is possible, with the series type having any
of the auxiliary switches listed. Combinations up to nine poles
are available.

APL/UPL, 205/295 CONFIGURATIONS
APL/UPL, 205/295 Configurations
132
Series Trip
The most popular configuration for magnetic protectors is the
series trip where the sensing coil and contacts are in series with
the load being protected. The handle position conveniently indi-
cates circuit status. In addition to providing conventional over-
current protection, it’s simultaneously used as an on-off switch.
Auxiliary Switch
(Applies to Series Trip Only)
This is furnished as an integral part of a series pole in single or
multi-pole assemblies. Isolated electrically from the protector’s
circuit, the switch works in unison with the power contacts
and provides indication at a remote location of the protector’s
on-off status.
Auxiliary switch contacts actuate simultaneously with the
main breaker contacts, and will open regardless of whether the
breaker contacts are opened manually or electrically. For auxiliary
switch ratings below 6Vac or 5Vdc, an auxiliary switch with gold
contacts is available. Gold contacts are not recommended for
load current above 100 milliamps.
The contacts on our optional RS auxiliary switch will open
only in the event of an electrical trip of the circuit breaker.
Shunt Trip
The shunt trip is designed for controlling two separate loads
with one assembly. The control is established by providing
overload protection for the critical load. When the current
through this load becomes excessive and reaches the trip point,
the protector will open and remove power from both loads
simultaneously. The total current rating of both loads must
not exceed the maximum contact rating.
Relay Trip
This permits the overload sensing coil to be placed in a circuit
which is electrically isolated from the trip contacts. The coil
may be actuated by sensors monitoring pressure, flow, tempera-
ture, speed, etc. Other typical applications include crowbar,
interlock and emergency/rapid shutdown circuitry. Trip may
be accomplished by voltage or current, which must be removed
immediately upon tripping.
Dual Coil
Dual coil protectors provide remote shut down option and
normal overcurrent protection in the confines of a single
breaker pole. This construction saves space by eliminating the
need for an additional pole for the voltage trip function.
Voltage Trip
Sometimes called “dump circuits” or “panic trip circuits,” these
units make it possible to open main power contacts with lower
power inputs from one or more sources. This configuration
is becoming increasingly more important for sensitive circuitry
and denser packaging in automation systems. Available in
series, shunt, relay or dual coil configurations.

Inrush Pulse Tolerance (typ)
The following table provides a comparison of inrush pulse
tolerance with and without the inertial delay feature for each
of the 50/60Hz delays. Pulse tolerance is defined as a single
pulse of half sine wave peak current amplitude of 8 milliseconds
duration that will not trip the circuit breaker.
All trip curves and trip currents are specified with the
breaker mounted in the normal vertical position at ambient
temperature of +25°C. Breakers do not carry current prior to

APL/UPL, 205/295 DELAY CURVES
Delays 64, 65 and 66
Delays 64, 65 and 66 are the latest 50/60Hz delays with short, medium
and long trip times respectively. The patented breaker design provides
both increased tolerance to high inrush induced nuisance tripping and
longer trip times at 600 percent. These delays are ideally suited for
applications where thermal devices are presently used, such as motor
protection or where short duration, high inrush currents are experienced.
As shown in a typical motor start-up curve, the delay 66 will provide
locked rotor and overload protection. Nuisance tripping is avoided
since acceptable short periods of overload will not trip the breaker.

APL/UPL DECISION TABLES
How to Order
The ordering code for APL/UPL circuit breakers may be
determined by following the steps in the decision tables
shown here.
The coding given permits a self-assigning part number;
other configurations may require a factory assigned part
number. Typical examples are units with mixed ratings,
combinations of styles or constructions not listed in the
third decision table, etc. With these, it is suggested that
order entry be by description and/or drawings and a part
number will be assigned. Additionally, it is a standard policy
to establish a factory assigned part number wherever a
descriptive drawing exists to provide cross reference,
traceability and manufacturing control.
When specifying a breaker for AC motor start or high
inrush applications, the peak amplitude and surge duration
should be specified for factory assistance in rating selection.
For example, the code shown is the code for a two pole
UPL breaker with series trip, 20 ampere rating, 50/60Hz.
short time delay construction in all poles.
To determine the ordering number for your particular
APL/UPL unit, simply follow the steps shown. You may use
this number to place an order or as a reference for further
questions you may have.
Notes:
AThe most common current values for 100% of rated
current are those listed. Please consult an Airpax office or
sales representative for other values.
BAll APL/UPL breakers are constructed with stainless steel
springs and plated parts. As noted in the specifications,
all meet normal requirements for moisture and salt spray
resistance. If fungus resistance is required in addition to
moisture and salt spray resistance, special procedures and
markings are employed.
CTe r minals will be supplied as #10-32 threaded studs up to
50 amperes. Above this amperage terminals will be ⁄/¢-28
threaded studs. All standard units will be supplied with a
hex nut and two flat washers on each threaded terminal.
DWhen metric threaded inserts are specified, breakers
rated at 50 amperes and below will be supplied with metric
threaded terminals. For breakers rated above 50 amperes,
⁄/¢-28 threaded terminals will be supplied.
EBlack handle standard.

205/295 DECISION TABLES
How to Order
The ordering code for 205/295 circuit breakers may be
determined by following the steps in the decision tables
shown here.
For example, the code shown is the code for a UL
recognized, two pole breaker with series trip, 20 ampere
rating at 240Vac max., 50/60Hz short time delay construc-
tion in all poles.
To determine the ordering number for your particular
205/295 unit, simply follow the steps shown. You may use
this number to place an order or as a reference for further
questions you may have.
Notes:
AThe most common current values for 100% of rated current are those listed.
Please consult an Airpax office or sales representative for other values.
BAll 205/295 breakers are constructed with stainless steel springs and
plated parts. As noted in the specifications, all meet normal requirements
for moisture and salt spray resistance. If fungus resistance is required in
addition to moisture and salt spray resistance, special procedures and
markings are employed.
CTe r minals will be supplied as #10-32 threaded studs up to 50 amperes.
Above this amperage terminals will be ⁄/¢-28 threaded studs. All standard
units will be supplied with a hex nut and 2 flat washers on each
threaded terminal.
DFor detailed barrier and wiring information, request Airpax
specification AM-433.
EWhen metric threaded inserts are specified, breakers rated at 50 amperes
and below will be supplied with metric threaded terminals. For breakers
rated above 50 amperes, ⁄/¢-28 threaded terminals will be supplied.
FAvailable in multi-pole, series only for multiphase applications.
