Benefits of Multi-Functional Circuit Breakers

End users of electronic equipment are constantly pressuring manufacturers to develop high quality cutting-edge designs that are faster, smarter and more affordable.

To remain competitive, engineers must face this challenge head-on and find partners that offer solutions to help them meet these customer demands.

E-T-A offers a broad range of circuit breakers specifically designed for the equipment market. These multifunctional devices offer the following benefits:

No replacement fuse required: Unlike a fuse, circuit breaker switch combinations can easily and quickly be reset after tripping due to an overload.
Reduced installation and wiring time: Assemblers will only have to mount a single circuit breaker - eliminating the wiring between switches and fuses.
Fewer Components: Combine switching and overload protection in one device - reducing the footprint required for circuit protection.
Streamlined material planning: Purchasing departments will need to purchase 66% fewer components per load.
Enhanced reliability and uptime: Less individual parts reduces the possible sources of assembly errors.
