Santa Rosa, California – Schurter’s AS168X thermal magnetic, high-performance circuit breaker is UL 508 listed as a Manual Motor Controller. The AS168X provides motor disconnect from 0.5A to 30A, and motor protection from 1/10hp to 20hp for industrial control applications.

 

The AS168X series is rated 0.5A to 52A @ 480Y/277VAC. The high performance CBE limits let through energy in the event of a short circuit up to 10kA at 277VAC. The family has three levels of short circuit protection, categorized by F, G, and H curves and is available in one to four poles. Multi-pole devices are connected internally and at the handle for simultaneous operation. This applies also to combinations with the switched neutral pole. The thermal magnetic, positively trip-free breaker, with manual ON/OFF actuation has a high endurance (life cycle) of 6,000 cycles (In) with an ambient temperature range of -20°C to 60°C.

 

Schurter’s Manual Motor Controller is DIN Rail mountable, style EN50022, for quick installation. Screw terminal connections at line and load accept a range of wire sizes 16AWG to 4AWG. Compact in design, measuring 17.5mm in width, these circuit breakers conserve panel space and are suited for high-density configurations. Ingress protection of IP40 from the front side is in accordance with IEC 60529. The circuit breaker is RoHS compliant.
