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
PARALLEL POLE ACTUATOR

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
tripped.
