1Description
Single or multi-position thermomagnetic circuit breaker with
lever actuation, DIN rail mounting, trip-free mechanism that
cannot be influenced, various characteristic curves, all-pole
tripping.
The circuit breakers meet the requirements of circuit breaker
standard EN 60934 (IEC 60934): S-type, TM.
Typical areas of application are telecommunications
systems, power supply units, industrial switchgear and
control systems, and rail vehicles.
The ideal characteristic curve shown here illustrates the
curve of the thermomagnetic trigger characteristic. The time-
delayed tripping protects the thermal part of the
characteristic curve against overload. The magnetic part of
the circuit breaker responds without delay to high overload
and short-circuit currents and trips within a few milliseconds. Figure 1 Ideal characteristic curve

The table lists the maximum switching current, the relevant

5 Trigger characteristics
The thermomagnetic circuit breaker is available in
18 nominal current levels and in single and multi-pos.
versions.
The version with the "medium-blow (M1)" trigger
characteristic is suitable for AC and DC applications. The
"fast-blow (F1)" characteristic version is suitable for
DC applications.
The characteristic curves (see page 7) depend on the
ambient temperatures. To avoid early or late disconnection,
the circuit breaker nominal current must be multiplied by a
factor.
The characteristic curves (see page 7) are also valid for
multi-position devices if all positions have an equal load. For
multi-position devices and only 1-pos. overload, the thermal
tripping limit changes for characteristic curves F1 and M1 to
a maximum of 1.7 x IN.
For DC, the magnetic operate values of the curves are
around factor 1.3 higher.
Tripping is supported even with high-energy current peaks
< 0.003 s.
In this case, the nominal current can only be led to 80%.
Alternatively, the load current can be increased by a
multiplication factor and the circuit breaker dimensioned
accordingly.
NOTE: Use a backup fuse in combination with the
circuit breaker if the maximum switching current
can be exceeded in the event of an error.

NOTE: When mounting several circuit breakers
in rows, observe the mutual warming effect.
When the circuit breakers are loaded
simultaneously, a mutual warming effect occurs,
which has the same effect as an increase in
ambient temperature.
