Approved Electronic Circuit Protection vs. Thermal-Magnetic Circuit Breakers

ESX10-T electronic circuit protector combines electronic trip characteristics and active current limitation to allow selective disconnection of loads connected to 24 Vdc power supplies. Selective load protection prevents complete shutdown of the system by quickly disconnecting the faulty path when an overload or short circuit occurs. The protector limits the highest possible current to 1.3 to 1.8 times the rated capacity, making it possible to switch on capacitive loads up to 20,000 microF. Failure and status indication are provided by a multicolor LED and status output signal and can be remotely enabled and reset with a digital signal.
