Phoenix Contact Circuit Breakers

Phoenix Contact circuit breakers are designed to offer advanced protection for electrical systems against overloads, short circuits, and other irregularities that can pose risks.
Phoenix Contact circuit breakers’ modular design allows for easy installation and expansion. This modularity is particularly beneficial for systems that may require future upgrades or alterations. They are also highly versatile, suitable for both AC and DC applications, making them a convenient choice for a wide range of environments.
Phoenix Contact circuit breakers are crafted with high-quality materials and undergo rigorous testing to ensure they meet and often exceed industry standards. This is crucial for environments like factories, power plants, or any other settings that cannot afford frequent electrical disruptions.
Their circuit breakers often feature multiple layers of protection, such as thermal and magnetic tripping mechanisms, to provide comprehensive coverage against electrical faults. This ensures that both the electrical system and any connected equipment are effectively shielded from damage.

What is a Circuit Breaker?
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.
