Overview
The 7277 series circuit breaker is
physically and electrically identical
to the 7274-2 style circuit breaker,
with the exception that the 7277
series has wider calibration limits.
Originally developed as an alterna-
tive to slow blow fuses, the trip
free 7277 is used extensively as
primary electrical circuit protec-
tion on general aviation aircraft.

The wider calibration limits of the
7277 has also resulted in
applications including protection
for data processing and
telecommunications equipment,
computers, ight simulators,
construction, material handling
and other industrial,electronic
equipment.
For use on trainer / simulator
applications where all breakers
are operated on low ampere
control current, di erent ampere
rating inserts (amp ratings on top
of push button) can be ordered.
Use TI part number 27515.
(Refer to 7274-2 and 7274-4
dimensions on previous page.)
