At Electrónica Embajadores, we offer a broad range of high-quality automatic circuit breakers designed to meet the needs of industrial, commercial, residential, and technical sectors, providing reliability and durability.
These devices automatically interrupt the current upon detecting faults, allowing for reset without physical replacement, thereby reducing downtime and maintenance costs.
Our selection includes thermal and magnetic automatic circuit breakers, compatible fuse holders, models calibrated for different current intensities and voltages, compliant with European standards and international safety regulations.
Below, we detail their technical characteristics, applications, advantages, and recommendations for proper selection and use, consistent with the up-to-date Electrónica Embajadores catalogue.
Types and Models of Automatic Circuit Breakers Available at Electrónica Embajadores
The variety of automatic circuit breakers in our catalogue allows optimal adaptation to any installation type and operational requirements:
- Thermal Automatic Circuit Breakers: Operate via a bimetallic strip that bends under heat caused by overloads, breaking the circuit at a defined thermal threshold. Ideal for protection against prolonged overloads.
- Magnetic Automatic Circuit Breakers: Act instantly in the event of a short circuit through an electromagnet activating an internal mechanism, ensuring quick disconnection to protect the system.
- Combined Automatic Circuit Breakers: Incorporate thermal and magnetic mechanisms, offering comprehensive protection against overloads and short circuits with high precision and safety.
- Compatible Fuse Holders: We offer fuse holders suited to each type of automatic circuit breaker, made from durable materials and easy to install, facilitating assembly and maintenance.
- Automatic Circuit Breakers with Manual and Automatic Reset: Models allowing immediate reset after trip or requiring manual intervention for enhanced safety in critical installations.
