Circuit Breakers
DIN rail-mounted equipment protection
© 2008 PHOENIX CONTACT
L002030d:07.08
To choose a circuit breaker,
determine the following:
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.
DIN rail-mounted
Thermal Miniature and Thermal Magnetic Circuit Breakers
Thermal Miniature Circuit Protection (TCP)
Thermal circuit proctectors use heat-sensitive bimetallic elements that respond to
overload electrical currents.
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
Define 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
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 configuration 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 configurations 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 configurations 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.

Thermal (Miniature) Circuit Protectors (TCP)
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.

* Indicates breakers that are made-to-order and may require an 8 to 10 week lead time.
Typical time / current characteristics at 23 degrees Celsius
Direct Current – Magnetic tripping
currents are increased by 30 percent in
DC circuits with the effect of shifting the
magnetic trip range 30 percent to the
right of AC trip curves.

The time/current characteristic curve depends on the ambient temperature
prevailing. In order to eliminate nuisance tripping, multiply the circuit breaker
current ratings by the derating factor shown below.
