Optifuse Circuit Breakers
OptiFuse circuit breakers deliver resettable overcurrent protection for diverse applications that range from automotive and industrial to marine and low-voltage. Unlike fuses, these devices simply need to be reset if they trip. They offer dependable and resettable protection for OptiFuse circuit breakers. This line of products includes blade-style circuit breakers, high-amperage circuit breakers, line voltage circuit breakers, and stud-mount breakers. Most available ratings are for voltages up to 240VAC and 50VDC for both AC and DC applications. The high-amperage breakers are typically rated at 25A to 300A for use with vehicles, marine, and industrial equipment.
Many OptiFuse circuit breakers are thermally protected. Thermal protection uses the current flow to detect overloads. When excessive heat is produced during a fault or overload event, circuit breaker opens to prevent continued current flow. Available protection options include automatic reset breakers and manual reset breakers. The automatic reset feature eliminates the need to manually open the switch in order to reset. The manual reset breakers also work as a power switch.
FAQs
