Thermal Magnetic Miniature Circuit Breakers
Introduction
Choose the Right Weidmuller BR/SUxxxUC
Series Miniature Current Breaker (MCB)
(Always refer to the NEC before installing any device.)
When considering the BR/SUxxxUC Series MCBs, always assess the application for the following: voltage rating,
maximum interrupting capacity, continuous current rating, frequency, and atypical operating conditions (ambient
temperature, moisture, vibration, altitude, installation or operation orientation, and field maintenance). The MCBs are
intended to protect the circuit cables as well as motors, generators and transformers, thyristors and silicon rectifiers.
They also provide additional protection of computers and their peripheral equipment, industrial process control systems,
telecommunications equipment and power supplies.
Ask the following:
• Is the application an AC or DC circuit?
Good news here, BR/SUxxxUC MCBs are rated for both AC
and DC.
• Is a branch or supplemental breaker needed for the
application?
Branch devices may be used in place of supplemental but
not vise versa.
• How many poles are needed for each circuit being protected?
3p – 3 phase no neutral, 2p – L
1
and Neutral, 1p – L
1
only.
• Calculate and/or measure the normal current for the circuit
and follow NEC guidelines. Match the breaker amps based on
the normal current load. Weidmuller’s BR/SUxxxUC run 1 to
63 amps (See Technical Data on page 4).
• Determine potential failure mode(s).
BR/SUxxxUC MCB thermal magnetic devices are designed for
interrupt short-circuit and overload events.
• What is the interrupt capacity (IC)?
Specify the breaker knowing the maximum fault current that
can be repeatedly interrupted without failure of the breaker.
BR/SUxxxUC MCBs have a maximum current at a given
voltage that the breaker can interrupt safely without damage
to surrounding components. (See Technical Data)
• What is the reaction time needed to a given fault condition?
Specify a breaker by selecting a speed that avoids nuisance
tripping but protects against component damage (B, C or
D curve)
• What are the functional requirements of the breaker?
The BR/SUxxxUC are rail mountable, easy to visually inspect,
switch manually (or remotely trip with shunt trip devices)
and monitor using an auxiliary contact. Mechanically 20,000
cycles and electrically 6,000 cycles.
• What is the wire size used? Can the breaker accept the wire
sizes required?
The BR/SUxxxUC are designed for ≤35mm².
• What are the environmental factors: ambient temperature,
moisture, vibration?
Check to determine if there are unusual conditions in which
the breaker must operate. The BR/SUxxxUC are specified to
IP20, -35°C ...70°C, and shock tested to IEC 60068-2-27.
