Eaton Molded Case Circuit Breakers
Eaton molded case circuit breakers are advanced devices for circuit protection that offer enhanced reliability and performance across a spectrum of uses. These advanced protection devices are found just as often in commercial applications as in industrial ones and even in the residential sphere. They have a molded case, which gives them a robust construction capable of withstanding whatever environment they might find themselves in. Eaton's Series C and Power Defense molded case circuit breakers are outfitted with some of the most modern and advanced tech around.
Renowned for their versatility and many advanced features, the Eaton Series C molded case circuit breakers offer both thermal magnetic and electronic trip units. They are designed for power system applications of many different types and from different parts of the world, and handle a variety of voltage ratings (240 VAC and 480 VAC, for example), and power levels, easily accommodating a diverse array of power requirements and configurations. Their trip units provide protection that is not only reliable, but also customizable, making them suitable for a number of different applications, including—but not limited to—motor control, panelboards, and switchboards.

What is a Circuit Breaker?
There are two different types of technologies that are commonly used in circuit breakers.
Magnetic Breakers
Magnetic Breakers are designed to react to short circuits or sharp spikes in voltage and current. The more current that passes through the breaker’s electromagnet, the stronger the magnet becomes. When the current exceeds the rating for that particular breaker, the magnetic force becomes strong enough that it will pull the contact back and disconnect it from the other contact, disconnecting power from the device.
Thermal Protection Breakers
Thermal Protection Breakers protect against a sustained overcurrent, or a higher current, for a longer period of time. Thermal protection uses a Bimetal strip that will bend the contacts away from each other to disconnect power. Thermal Magnetic Breakers are the most common type of circuit breakers. They combine magnetic technology to protect against short circuits or sharp spikes and thermal technology that protects against sustained overcurrent for a long period of time.
