Thermal-Magnetic Technology Advantage
The advanced thermal-magnetic trip mechanism provides dual protection against electrical faults. The thermal element responds to sustained overloads by heating a bimetallic strip that trips the breaker, while the magnetic element provides instantaneous protection against short circuits and ground faults. This proven technology ensures reliable electrical protection across the full range of fault conditions while minimizing nuisance tripping.
