Handles for Thermography

The models of MRX handles coupled to the circuit breaker allow to
open panels even with the handle in the ON position. This kind of
function is commonly used on electrical panels where a thermographic
analysis is necessary in preventive maintenance events. As default, this
function comes disabled from the factory.

Position and State Indication

Front identification of the operating status of the circuit breaker by means of its rotary handle (MPW40...100) or key (MPW18).
On the motor-protective circuit breakers with rotary drive, it is possible, by means of their handle, to indicate the TRIP, and
which determines the position indication of the switching devices of electrical circuits.

MPW Motor-Protective Circuit Breaker

Lock out, Isolation and Main Switch
All the MPW circuit breakers can be locked by means of seals
or padlocks installed on the handle or front button, ensuring
greater safety in stoppages for maintenance of panels and
electric motors. In addition to this function, the circuit
breakers comply with the isolation conditions of IEC 60947-3
and IEC 60947-2, that is, they may be used as an isolation
device of electrical parts of a panel. They can also be used as
main switches ad emergency stop according to IEC 60204-1.

IEC 60204-1
Connectors and Busbars
Connection busbars (easy connection) developed to save time and avoid assembly errors by panel installers and original
equipment manufacturers (OEMs).

TSB Block for Trip Indication

The TSB accessory installed on the circuit breakers allow to signal the trip occurred by means of auxiliary contacts or
mechanical indicators on this accessory.

MPW Motor-Protective Circuit Breaker

Handles for External Drive
Additional handles, installed on the MPW circuit breakers, allow external
drive of the circuit breakers on panels, ensuring safe operations and full
isolation of the live parts from the users. Versions available with degree of
protection IP55, IP65 and Nema 4X (UL), in yellow/red and grey/black.

Faster and Securer Connection

The cage clamp connections of the MPW12 motor-protective circuit
breakers provide faster installation of power cables and accessories. With
a screwdriver suitable for the fitting, it is possible to make the connections
in a shorter time in comparison to screw terminals. Due to special springs
on the connection terminals, retightening is not necessary, because the
connection system ensures constant pressure on the cables.

Protection of the Current Setting Dial

It allows to lock the current setting dial on the
thermomagnetic circuit breakers. By using a seal together
with this accessory, it is possible to ensure the reliability of
the current setting on the circuit breakers installed in the field
on electrical panels and machines. Supplied as accessory on
the MPW12...80 circuit breakers and as standard on the
MPW100 circuit breakers.

Insulated Enclosures Boxes

In applications with a reduced number of starts (15
starts/hour), it is possible to use surface-mount boxes
IP41/IP66 for MPW12 and MPW18, and IP55 for boxes
with MPW40, with direct drive on the circuit breakers
very close to the electric motor. The rotary handle of
the surface-mount boxes enables the lock out with up
to three padlocks. On the surface-mount boxes for
models MPW12 and MPW18, versions with keyed
emergency pushbuttons enable the lock out of their
operation. ACBS, ACBF, URMP/SRMP are
accessories that can be installed within the box.

Interchangeable Accessories
All the main accessories are interchangeable among the models MPW18...80, allowing the optimization of items and greater
flexibility of their applications. Example: the front contact block can be installed on up to three different models.

Easy Assembly
Assembly and disassembly of the side contact blocks, trip indication blocks and undervoltage coils without tools, just by
means of fittings on the side of the circuit breaker.

Safety in Installation
All the motor-protective circuit breakers have degree of
protection IP20 on the front to prevent inadvertent
contacts with the live parts without requiring additional
accessories.

Benefits and Characteristics of

Application of Motor-Protective
Circuit Breakers on Electrical Panels

Inventory Optimization
Conventional panels that use fuses for protection against short-circuit require replacement after they trip.
The spare fuses for panels with such conception require physical space in the maintenance area and
inventory item control. Using the motor-protective circuit breakers, that is not necessary, because they
allows reset even after a trip by short-circuit.

Shorter Downtime
Stoppages because of an overload trip may be common in some applications with this kind of
characteristic in case of some anomaly. In some operations, the downtime of machines may represent
huge losses and damages to industrial processes. The use of motor-protective circuit breakers provides
shorter reset time of a machine/equipment, because the circuit breaker allows its reset even after a trip by
short-circuit.

Design Simplification
In order to size fuses on electrical panels for motor start, it is necessary to pay attention to the time of each
start: direct on-line (5s), delta-star (10s), reduced voltage (15s). Also, in the sizing of components to protect
delta-star starters using fuses, we often find applications that require six fuses and thus additional wiring.
Using motor-protective circuit breakers, your project is simplified down to a single component.

Cable Connection
The circuit breakers allow direct connection of cables to the circuit breaker without the need for terminals
at the end of the connection cables.

Cost Reduction
The designs with motor-protective circuit breakers are smaller than those with protection by molded-case
circuit breakers or fuses. They allow the assembly on DIN rail 35 mm, avoiding unnecessary expenses with
fastening by screws. Over 50% of reduction of assembly space.

Technical Data
Characteristics Curves
The tripping characteristic shows the motor circuit breaker trip time in relation to the rated current.
The curves show average tolerance range values for an ambient temperature of 20 °C, starting in cold state. Thermal trip time
when working in operating temperature is reduced to around 25% of the presented values. Under normal operating conditions,
all 3 circuit breaker phases must be conducting.
