Product catalog summary
Overview: The document is a technical data sheet for the QF18-Series Miniature Circuit Breakers, which are hydraulic-magnetic circuit breakers designed for low voltage applications. These breakers are 100% rated and unaffected by ambient temperature changes.
Specifications:
  • Approvals: VC 8036 (IEC / EN 60947-2), UL 1077, AS/NZS 3111, VDE, EAC, CCC, CE certified.
  • Poles: Available in 1, 2 (1+N), 3, 4 (3+N) configurations.
  • Operating Voltages: 240 Vac and 415 Vac.
  • Current Ratings: 1 A to 63 A.
  • Interrupting Capacity: 5 kA to 6 kA depending on the model.
  • Ambient Operating Temperature: -40 °C to +85 °C.
  • Mounting Options: DIN rail and surface mount.
Features:
  • Hydraulic-magnetic technology ensures precision tripping characteristics.
  • Trip indication with mid-trip position and immediate reset capability.
  • Optional shunt trip and auxiliary switch available.
  • Suitable for electrical isolation and a wide range of applications including telecom, lighting control, UPS, and more.
Technical Data:
  • Endurance: 10,000 operations (1,500 with current, 8,500 without current).
  • Dielectric Strength: 1000 - 2000 Vac for one minute.
  • Rated Impulse Withstand Voltage: 4 kV.
  • Weight: 120 g per pole, 180 g with auxiliary.
  • Shock and Vibration: 16 G and 2 G respectively.
  • Flammability and Toxicity: I3 and F1 ratings.
Ordering Information: The document provides a detailed coding system for ordering, specifying frame type, switch/neutral options, auxiliary options, number of poles, module width, mounting type, time delays, current ratings, and shunt trip options.
Time Delay Curves: The document includes graphs showing the tripping time versus percentage of rated current for different time delay curves (1, 2, and 9), indicating the operational characteristics of the breakers.
Contact Information: The document lists contact details for CBI-electric offices in Australia, South Africa, and the USA.

The “must hold”, “must trip” and “instantaneous trip” current values are not affected by temperature, although delay time for the other operating current values may have to be adjusted using the temperature compensation curve which is available on request.
