Reliable Short Circuit Performance UL 508 Manual Motor Controller for Industrial Applications

IM0006671_ul508SCHURTER’s AS168X thermal magnetic, high performance circuit breaker is UL 508 listed, Manual Motor Controller. The AS168X provides motor disconnect from 0.5 to 30 A, and motor protection from 1/10-20 horsepower for industrial control applications.

The AS168X series is rated 0.5 to 52 A @ 480 Y / 277 VAC. The high performance CBE limits ―let through energy in the event of a short circuit up to 10 kA at 277 VAC. The family has three levels of short circuit protection, categorized by F, G and H curves and is available in one to four poles. Multi-pole devices are connected internally and at the handle for simultaneous
operation. This applies also to combinations with the switched neutral pole. The thermal magnetic, positively trip-free breaker, with manual ON/OFF actuation has a high endurance (life cycle) of 6000 cycles (In) with an ambient temperature range of -20°C to +60°C.

SCHURTER’s Manual Motor Controller is DIN Rail mountable, style EN50022, for quick installation. Screw terminal connections at line and load accept a range of wire sizes 16 – 4 AWG; compact in design, measuring 17.5 mm in width, these circuit breakers conserve panel space and are well-suited for high-density configurations. Ingress protection of IP40 from the front side is in accordance with IEC 60529The circuit breaker is RoHS compliant.

A Dash of Maxwell’s: A Maxwell’s Equations Primer – Part One

Solving Maxwell’s Equations for real-life situations, like predicting the RF emissions from a cell tower, requires more mathematical horsepower than any individual mind can muster. These equations don’t give the scientist or engineer just insight, they are literally the answer to everything RF.

Various accessories are available for the AS168X series including; a factory mounted switched neutral pole, remote relay/shunt trip module, lockout attachment, as well as, auxiliary and signal contact options.

For the 1-pole AC version, pricing starts at under $25.00 each per 100 pieces. Data sheets and additional information are available at: as168x.schurter.com/. For sales and product information, contact Cora Umlauf at (800) 848-2600 or by email at info@schurterinc.com.
