F-Series
Circuit Breaker
The F-Series hydraulic/magnetic high amperage circuit
breakers are designed to handle high current applications
in extremely hot and/or cold locations. Due to its time-
proven hydraulic/magnetic design, the F-Series load
sensing mechanism is insensitive to changes in ambient
or enclosure temperature, providing a consistent trip
point over temperatures ranging from -40°C to +85°C.
Additionally, the F-Series circuit breakers come with a
choice of overload time delays, making them ideal for
critical applications having inductive loads.
Further, the F-Series breakers are available up to 700A
and an optional 25 millivolt metering shunt construction
provides a safe method for monitoring current flowing
through the breaker by simply connecting a meter with
light gauge wire to the appropriate terminals located on the
shunt housing at the rear of the breaker. Applications can
be customized by measuring and displaying percentage of
current, watts or safe/danger zones.
Features:
AC ratings to UL 489
DC voltage ratings up to 700A with metering
shunt section
Consistent trip point over temperatures ranging
from -40°C to +85°C
Optional 25 millivolt metering shunt construction
Applications:
Ideal for applications under extreme temperatures
Higher Amperage Applications
