HMCB Features

All Eaton Heinemann HMCBs have the following features:

  • Large operating temperature range of -40 °C to 85 °C without derating
  • High inrush tolerance
  • Resistance to shocks and vibrations
  • Resistance to humidity and corrosion
  • Immediate resetting after trip
  • Multiple industry and quality certifications

 

HMCB Benefits

  • Extreme temperature protection: Operates reliably from -40 °C to +85 °C, maintaining constant trip ratings and protecting cables and equipment without the need for costly oversizing.
  • Stable rating: Maintains 100 % rating capability regardless of ambient temperature.
  • Precision tripping: Ideal for applications with sensitive equipment requiring precise tripping point protection.
  • Robust Design: Build to last, even in the harshest of environments, reducing maintenance or replacement costs.
  • Minimal Voltage Drop: Lower internal resistance compared to Thermal-magnetic circuit breakers, ideal for low voltage DC applications.
  • Avoid Nuisance Tripping: Shock-resistant and reduces EMC/EMI noise micro-cuts.
  • Harsh Environment Protection: Resistant to humidity and saline environments.
  • Hot-Pluggable Design: Allows maintenance without shutting down the entire system.
  • Integrated auxiliary alarm switch: Saves horizontal space and cost by eliminating the need for extra poles.
