INTRODUCTION
Designed specifically for the 35mm symmetrical DIN rail, Airpax
IALHR, IULHR and IELHR series Rail-Mount Magnetic circuit
protectors offer the advantages of quick and easy mounting or
removal which results in efficient and economical wiring, while
conserving space.
These circuit protectors are available in 1, 2, 3 and 4 pole
models, with a choice of handle colors with on/off and
international I/O markings. These protectors comply with
UL and CSA standards and meet IEC and VDE spacing
requirements. Typical applications include computers and
peripherals, telecommunications, medical equipment, machine
tools and process control instrumentation. They provide
the reliable performance associated with magnetic circuit
protection.
Mounting - These circuit protectors are designed to mount
on standard 35mm DIN rails, such as 35x7.5 or 35x15 per DIN
EN50022. Other specialty rails are available from suppliers that
provide a means of mounting non DIN mount components by
means of special captive jam nuts.

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
indicates circuit status. In addition to providing conventional
overcurrent protection, it’s simultaneously used as an on-off
switch.
Switch Only
In the event that over-current protection is not desired, the coil
mechanism can be deleted, providing an excellent low cost,
single or multi-pole power switch.
Insulation Resistance
100 megohm minimum at 500Vdc between all electrically isolated
terminals.
Dielectric Strength
3750Vac (3750V~) shall withstand AC voltages 50/60Hz for 60
seconds between all electrically isolated terminals.
Endurance
Circuit breakers shall operate a minimum of 10,000 operations;
6,000 with rated current and voltage and 4,000 with no load.
Operating Temperature
–40°C to +85°C.
IEC 144 Classification
Type handle spacings–IP40. Terminals–IP00.
Moisture Resistance
10 days, 95 percent relative humidity at 40°C in accordance with
IEC68-2-3, test C.
Salt Spray
Five percent solution at 35°C in accordance with IEC68-2-11, test
K, 48 hours.
Shock
50g, 11m sec, half sine with rated current, except no current with
handle down. Instantaneous units use 80 percent rated current.
Test in accordance with IEC68-2-27, test Ea. This assumes that
adequate end stops are used to prevent longitudinal movement
of the circuit protector.
Vibration
4g, 5–500Hz (maximum double amplitude displacement 1.5mm)
with rated current except no current with handle down.
Instantaneous units use 80 percent rated current, in accordance
with IEC68-2-6, test F, method A, one hour per plane. This
assumes that adequate end stops will be used to prevent
longitudinal movement of the circuit protector.

400Hz, DC, 50/60Hz Delay Curves (typ)
A choice of delays is offered for DC, 50/60Hz, 400Hz, or combined
DC/50/60Hz applications. Delays 49, 59, 69 and 79 provide fast
acting, instantaneous tripping and are often used to protect
sensitive electronic equipment (not recommended where a
known inrush exists). Delays 41, 51, 61 and 71 have a short delay
for general purpose applications. Delays 42, 52, 62 and 72 are
long enough for most transformers and capacitor loads. Delays
43, 53, 63 and 73 are extra long for special motor applications.

How to Order
The ordering code for IELR circuit protectors may be determined by
following the steps in the decision tables shown here.
The coding given permits a self-assigning part number, but with
limitations. Using the illustrated coding system, it will
automatically be assumed that all poles are identical. When all
poles of a multi-pole protector are not identical, please contact
an Airpax sales representative or the factory for a part number.
One great virtue of magnetic circuit protectors is their adaptability
to complex circuits. Thus, variations from pole to pole can
become the rule rather than the exception. Descriptive drawings
are recommended to avoid confusion.
When specifying a protector for AC motor start or high inrush
applications, it is helpful to know the peak amplitude and surge
duration for proper protector selection.
IELR DECISION TABLES
Notes:
When poles are not identical, each pole is to be described and a
special Airpax number will be assigned.
Thomas & Betts (T&B) Narrow Tongue Lug P/N 54108NT is
recommended for units rated above 50A. The T&B lug or an
equivalent must be used on units rated 70A and above.
