Thermal Miniature and Thermal Magnetic Circuit Breakers
1
Thermal Miniature Circuit Protection (TCP)
Thermal circuit proctectors use heat-sensitive bimetallic elements that respond to
overload electrical currents.
Thermal Miniature Circuit Protectors are compact protectors designed to
interrupt an electric current under overload conditions. The protector can accommodate
ten nominal currents ranging from 0.10 A to 10 A.
After an overload has occurred, TCP breakers are easily reset by pushing the reset button.
The breakers can be plugged into UK 6-FSI/C (screw) or ST 4-FSI/C (spring) terminal
blocks for convenient DIN rail mounting.
Thermal Magnetic Circuit Breakers (TMC)
Thermal Magnetic circuit breakers interrupt an electrical current under overload
or short-circuit conditions. They have both thermal circuit interruption and magnetic
interruption functions. The thermal function uses heat-sensitive bimetallic elements that
respond to overload currents. The magnetic function responds to very high current
overloads such as those that might occur during short-circuit conditions.
TMC 42 breakers are available in one- or two-pole confi guration for currents ranging
from 0.10 to 16 amps. TMC 42 breakers can be snapped directly on a DIN rail. They are
reset by pushing a red reset button.
TMC 60 breakers are available in one-, two-, or three-pole confi gurations for currents
ranging from 0.5 to 63 amps. TMC 60-Series breakers can be snapped directly on a DIN
rail. They are reset by moving the toggle switch to the green (activation) position.
TMC 1 breakers are available in one-, two- or three-pole confi gurations for currents
ranging from 0.1 to 32 amps. This high-density breaker has built-in auxiliary contacts.
TMC 1 breakers can be snapped directly on a DIN rail. They are reset by moving the
toggle switch to the I (activation) position.
The normal current load (nominal current)
Specify the size of the breaker in amps based on the normal
current load.
Possible types of failure
Match the short-circuit and overload protection requirements
to the performance characteristics of the breaker.
Rupture capacity
Specify the breaker, knowing the maximum fault current that
can be repeatedly (3x minimum) interrupted without failure
of the breaker.
Maximum interrupting capacity
Choose the breaker, knowing the maximum current at a
given voltage that the breaker can interrupt safely without
damage to surrounding components.
The wire size the breaker must accommodate
Determine if the breaker can accept the wire sizes required.
To choose a circuit breaker,
determine the following:
How fast the circuit breaker must react
to a fault condition
Specify a breaker by selecting a speed that avoids
nuisance tripping but protects against component damage.
How many poles are needed
Determine the number of poles needed that are
connected electrically and structurally.
Functional requirements of the breaker
Defi ne the requirements for visual inspection, switching,
auxiliary circuits or space.
Environmental factors –
temperature, moisture, vibration
Determine if there are unusual conditions in which the
breaker must operate.
Thermal (Miniature) Circuit Protectors (TCP)
3
TCPs are compact circuit protectors designed to interrupt an electric current under
overload conditions. There are ten nominal current ratings available, ranging from 0.10 A
to 10 A.
TCP protectors are trip-free and reset easily after a current interruption by pushing
the
reset button. The protector can be plugged into UK 6-FSI/C or ST 4-FSI/C fuse base
terminal blocks for convenient DIN rail-mounting.

Contact Functions* Auxiliary (H) or Signal (S)
* The TMC 6AUX S / H can operate as either an auxiliary contact (H function) or
a signal contact (S function). The operation of the auxiliary switch is determined at
the time of installation. The signal contact (function S) status provides the automatic
trip status of the protection device. The auxiliary (H function) provides the OPEN/
CLOSED status of the protective device. A test button on the front of the auxiliary
switch simulates functions S or H. The test button also acts as a reset for the trip
signal (function S) contacts.

One-, two- and three-pole thermal magnetic circuit breakers with trip-free, snap action
mechanism and toggle actuation (S-type: IEC 934). Breaker has a universal mounting
foot so it can be snapped on both NS 35 and NS 32 mounting rail profi les. Available
with auxiliary contact (1 x N / O or 1 x N / C) for status signaling. Two- and three-pole
models are internally linked to ensure that all poles trip in the event of an overload on
one pole,
even if the actuator is held in the ON position. This circuit breaker can be
supplied in current
ratings to 32 A with a choice of characteristic curves. All screw
terminals are recessed for safety.
In the OFF position (contacts between
terminals 1 and 2 are open), the
auxiliary contacts between terminals
11 and 12 are considered N/C
In the OFF position (contacts between
terminals 1 and 2 are open), the
auxiliary contacts between terminals
13 and 14 are considered N/O

(1) Thermal Magnetic – Thermal provides overload protection; magnetic provides short-circuit protection.
(2) Interrupting capacity is the maximum fault current that can be repeatedly (3x minimum) interrupted without failure of the breaker.
(3) Self-limiting means that internal resistance is high enough to restrict the fl ow of current to a level that will not harm the circuit breaker.
(4) Maximum current at a given voltage at which the circuit breaker can interrupt safely without damage to surrounding components.
(5) Review trip curve for precise trip behavior of the breaker.
(6) N/O means auxiliary contacts are open and N/C means auxiliary contacts are closed when main terminal contacts are open.
(7) Trip-free means the breaker contacts cannot be forced or held closed during any fault condition (overloads or short circuits).
(8) Tease-free means breaker contacts cannot be forced close enough for current to arc (and potentially weld together) under a fault condition.
(9) A bus bar can connect to the supply terminal and can feed a series of breakers.
