Circuit breakers are usually designed according to the thermal principle with a bimetal. If a defined temperature is exceeded due to overcurrent, the electric circuit is interrupted. Once the bimetal cooled down, the appliance is ready for use again. However, if a short circuit occurs, the bimetal cannot react fast enough. For this reason, thermal circuit breakers are usually combined with a fuse.
Instead of using a switch and a fuse in combination, a circuit breaker according to IEC 60934 can do the job as well. Schurter is now upgrading its 2-pole classic TA35 and TA36 models with an additional, optional magnetic module. From now on, no additional fuse is required when using a thermal-magnetic type. Depending on the application, the magnetic modules are available either with a slow or a fast acting characteristic.
Both models are designed for snap-in mounting and with finely graduated rated currents. A variety of colors and lighting options make the designer's choice easier. The Schurter TA35 has a more classic style, while its TA36 counterpart comes in a more modern design.
The new products are now listed as "New Part Numbers" in the Swiss company's website. Sample orders can be placed, with larger quantities and other versions on request.
The Schurter Group is the world's leading Swiss technology company providing components that ensure safe power supply and simplified equipment operation. Schurter is known globally as an innovator, manufacturer and distributor of fuses, connectors, circuit breakers, switches, and EMC products.
