The F-Series hydraulic/magnetic high amperage circuit
breakers are designed to handle high current applications
in extremely hot and/or cold locations. Due to its time-
proven hydraulic/magnetic design, the F-Series load
sensing mechanism is insensitive to changes in ambient
or enclosure temperature, providing a consistent trip
point over temperatures ranging from -40°C to +85°C.
Additionally, the F-Series circuit breakers come with a
choice of overload time delays, making them ideal for
critical applications having inductive loads.
Further, the F-Series breakers are available up to 700A
and an optional 25 millivolt metering shunt construction
provides a safe method for monitoring current flowing
through the breaker by simply connecting a meter with
light gauge wire to the appropriate terminals located on the
shunt housing at the rear of the breaker. Applications can
be customized by measuring and displaying percentage of
current, watts or safe/danger zones.
Features:
AC ratings to UL 489
DC voltage ratings up to 700A with metering
shunt section
Consistent trip point over temperatures ranging
from -40°C to +85°C
Optional 25 millivolt metering shunt construction
Applications:
Ideal for applications under extreme temperatures
Higher Amperage Applications
Battery Disconnect Systems
Solar Power Systems

1960 VAC, 50/60 Hz for one minute
between all electrically isolated
terminals, except 2500 VAC for one
minute between alarm/aux. switch
and main terminals with contacts in
open and closed position. F-Series
circuit breakers comply with the
8mm spacing & 3750VAC 50/60
Hz dielectric requirements from
hazardous voltage to operator
accessible surfaces, between
adjacent poles and from main circuits
to auxilary circuits per Publications EN
60950 and VDE 0805.
Values from Line to Load Terminal -
based on Series Trip Circuit Breaker.
4000 ON-OFF operations with rated
Current & Voltage & 4000 operations
with no load (8000 operations
total) @ 5 per minute. Parallel Pole
construction: 1000 operations with
rated Current and Voltage @ 5 per
minute.
All F-Series Circuit Breakers will trip on
overload, even when the actuator is
forcibly held in the ON position.
The operating actuator moves
positively to the OFF position when
an overload causes the circuit breaker
to trip.
