Eaton Main Circuit Breakers

Eaton main circuit breakers are designed to provide reliable protection against electrical faults and to ensure the safe and efficient operation of electrical distribution systems. They are available in a range of sizes and ratings, from 100 amps to several thousand amps, and can be customized to meet specific application requirements. They are built to withstand harsh industrial environments and are designed to provide long-term, trouble-free performance.

One of the key features of Eaton main circuit breakers is their advanced trip units, which are designed to accurately detect and respond to a wide range of electrical faults. Eaton main circuit breakers are also equipped with a range of advanced features, including ground fault protection, arc fault protection, and thermal-magnetic trip units, which help to ensure the safe and reliable operation of the electrical distribution system.

Eaton main circuit breakers are also designed for ease of installation and maintenance. They can be easily integrated into new or existing electrical distribution systems, and are designed to be easy to access and service. Eaton also provides a range of support services, including technical support, training, and maintenance services, to help ensure that their main circuit breakers perform optimally throughout their service life.

There are two different types of technologies that are commonly used in circuit 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 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.
