C-Series
Circuit Breaker
The C-Series hydraulic/magnetic circuit breakers are ideal
for applications that require higher amperage and voltage
handling capability in a smaller package. They are available
in 1-6 poles, 0.02-100amps, UL Recognized up to 480VAC or
150VDC, UL489 Listed up to 240VAC or 125VDC, with choice
of time delays, terminal options, actuator styles and colors.
Product Highlights:
HANDLE ACTUATOR
METAL TOGGLE ACTUATOR
The UL489 C-Series employs a unique arc chute design
which allows for higher interrupting capacities of up to
10,000 amps. New thermoset glass filled polyester half
shell construction provides for increased mechanical
and electrical strength. The wiping contacts, mechanical
linkage with two step actuation, clean contacts providing
high, positive contact pressure and longer contact life
Available with American Standard or Metric Threaded
Stud terminals, or Saddle Clamp screw terminals. Optional
mid-trip handle style actuator allows visual indication of
electrical overload with or without alarm feature
Available with new solid color rocker actuators and
unique two-color Visi-rocker® actuators, which can be
specified to indicate either the ON or TRIPPED/OFF mode
Exclusive Rockerguard and Push-To-Reset bezel help
prevent inadvertent actuation
The metal toggle option was tested to MIL-PRF-55629C
for ingress protection when mounted in a panel, and also
meets IP68 requirement.

All C-Series circuit breakers will trip
on overload, even when actuator is
forcibly held in the ON position.
The operating actuator moves
positively to the OFF position when
an overload causes the breaker to
trip. With mid-trip, handle moves to
the mid position on electrical trip of
the circuit breaker. With mid trip
handle with alarm switch, handle
moves to the mid position and the
alarm switch actuates when the
circuit breaker is electrically
