Product Detailed Description
Allen-Bradley, a brand under Rockwell Automation, offers a comprehensive range of circuit breakers designed for reliable overcurrent, short-circuit, and ground fault protection in industrial, commercial, and equipment-level applications. These include molded case circuit breakers (MCCBs), miniature circuit breakers (MCBs), motor protection circuit breakers (MPCBs), and supplementary protectors. Key series include:
- Bulletin 140U, 140G, and 140UT Molded Case Circuit Breakers (MCCBs): Provide robust protection for circuits up to 3000 A, with high interrupting ratings and options for fixed or adjustable trip settings. They feature a wide array of operators and accessories for flexible integration.
- Bulletin 1489-M and 1492-MC Miniature Circuit Breakers (MCBs): Compact, thermal-magnetic devices for branch circuit protection, UL 489 listed for North American standards and IEC certified for global use. They offer fast tripping and are ideal for DIN rail mounting in panels.
- Bulletin 1492-GH and 1492-GS High-Density Miniature Circuit Breakers: Space-efficient supplementary protectors with thermal and magnetic trip functions, suitable for high-density control panels.
- Bulletin 140MT, 140MP, and 140MG Motor Protection Circuit Breakers (MPCBs): Specialized for motor circuits, combining overload, short-circuit, and phase loss protection with adjustable settings for variable frequency drives (VFDs).
- Bulletin 188-J and 188-K Regional Circuit Breakers: Tailored for extreme environments, with certifications for China and Europe.
These breakers are engineered for current-limiting performance, ensuring minimal damage during faults, and support remote operation via motorized handles or auxiliary contacts.
Product Parameters
Allen-Bradley circuit breakers vary by series, but common parameters include:
| Parameter | Description/Details |
|---|---|
| Current Rating | 0.5 A to 3000 A (e.g., 1492-SP: 2–20 A; 140U: 15–2500 A) |
| Voltage Rating | Up to 600 V AC / 250 V DC (UL/CSA: 277 V AC / 48 V DC; IEC: 230 V AC) |
| Poles | 1, 2, 3, or 4 poles |
| Trip Characteristics | B (2–3x In), C (5–10x In), D (10–20x In) for magnetic trip; thermal for overload |
| Interrupting Capacity | Up to 100 kA (e.g., 10 kA for 1492-MC; 25 kA @ 480 V for 140U) |
| Mounting | DIN rail or panel mount; 1/2 in. wide per pole for high-density models |
| Operating Temperature | -40°C to +75°C for extreme conditions |
| Certifications | UL 489, UL 1077, IEC 60947-2, CSA; suitable for backfeeding at 240 V / 480Y/277 V |
| Frame Sizes | 8 sizes for MCCBs (e.g., E-Frame for compact units) |
Specific models like the 1489-M1C200 offer 20 A at 277 V AC, while 1492-GH050 is rated at 5 A with C-curve tripping.
Product Advantages
- High Reliability and Performance: Current-limiting design reduces arc flash hazards and equipment damage; high interrupting ratings (up to 100 kA) handle severe faults effectively.
- Versatility: Wide range of trip curves (B, C, D) and adjustable settings for precise protection in diverse loads, including motors and VFDs; supports remote electrical operation via motor operators.
- Compact and Easy Installation: DIN rail mounting enables high-density panel configurations; simplified assembly with through-door operators maintains functionality even with closed panels.
- Durability in Harsh Environments: Superior shock, vibration resistance, and wide temperature tolerance (-40°C to +75°C) make them ideal for extreme conditions like industrial machinery or data centers.
- Compliance and Safety: Meets global standards (UL, IEC, CSA) for branch and supplementary protection, with options for ground fault detection to enhance personnel safety.
- Cost-Effective Integration: Modular accessories (e.g., auxiliary contacts, surge protectors) allow customization without extensive redesign, reducing downtime and maintenance costs.
Precautions and Notes
- Installation: Ensure proper torque on terminals to avoid loose connections that could cause overheating. Mount on DIN rail or panels rated for the breaker’s vibration and shock levels; follow NEC/NFPA guidelines for arc flash protection.
- Operation: Do not exceed rated voltage/current; verify trip curve compatibility with load type (e.g., inductive loads require C or D curves). Test periodically for thermal-magnetic functionality, especially in VFD applications to prevent nuisance tripping.
- Maintenance: Inspect for wear on contacts and mechanisms annually; avoid exposure to corrosive environments without IP-rated enclosures. Use only manufacturer-approved accessories to maintain certifications.
- Safety: Always de-energize circuits before handling; wear appropriate PPE during fault investigations. Not suitable for direct personnel protection—pair with fuses or GFCIs where required.
- Compatibility: Confirm UL 489 listing for branch circuits; supplementary protectors (e.g., UL 1077) must be downstream of main overcurrent devices.
Product Applications
- Industrial Control Panels: High-density MCBs (1492-GH/GS) for protecting PLCs, relays, and sensors in automated systems.
- Motor and Drive Protection: MPCBs (140MT/MP) for AC/DC motors, pumps, and conveyors, especially with VFDs to handle overloads and phase imbalances.
- Power Distribution: MCCBs (140U/G) in switchboards for branch circuit protection in factories, data centers, and HVAC systems.
- OEM Equipment: Compact E-Frame breakers for machinery enclosures, telecommunications, and UPS systems requiring fast fault clearing.
- Extreme Environments: 1489-M and 188 series for marine, oil & gas, or outdoor applications with high vibration and temperature swings.
- Commercial Buildings: Supplementary protectors for lighting, appliances, and control circuits in retail or office settings.
