Miniature circuit breakers Mors Smitt offers a wide range of railway hydraulic magnetic circuit breakers. The circuit breakers are fully configurable to meet the individual requirements. Precise, temperature stable mechanism, due to hydraulic magnetic technology Overcurrent sensing mechanism reacts only to changes of current No ‘warm-up’ period to slow down its response to overload. No ‘cooldown’ period after overload before it can be reset. Derating considerations due to temperature variations are not normally required and heat-induced nuisance tripping is avoided A common trip linkage between...

What makes a magnetic circuit breaker trip Time delays A wide range of time delays is available for optimal application compatibility. A wide range of accessories is availible for flexible connectivity. E.G. busbars and feeding terminals. Hydraulic magnetic Operation is precise and not affected by changes in ambient temperatures. Trip-free mechanism This safety feature makes it impossible to manually hold the contacts closed during over-current or fault conditions. Circuit options Mid trip (handle options) Several circuit options are available for easy adaption in any application. The handle...

Circuit options Available circuit options Series trip A basic two terminal device is usually used as a combination power switch and overload protector. the contacts and current sensing coil are connected in series with the line and load terminals (figure 1). Series trip with auxiliary switch Same as a series trip except with the addition of a S.P.D.T. snap-action switch, which is electrically isolated, but mechanically linked to the movement of the main breaker contacts. This switch is commonly used to remotely signal the status of the breaker (on or off / tripped) (figure 2). Series trip is...

Time delays Reference projects Customized solutions 10000 D.C. ULTRASHORT DELAY CURVE NO. 11 Perfect solutions TRIP TIME IN SECONDS The trip time of a hydraulic magnetic circuit breaker is directly related to the length of time it takes for the moving metal core to move to the full ‘in’ position. If the delay tube is filled with air, the core will move rather quickly, and the breaker will trip quickly. This is characteristic of the ultrashort delay curves (figure 1). Application examples: D.C. INSTANTANEOUS CURVE NO. 10 GFI (Ground fault detection) TRIP TIME IN SECONDS These curves have no intentional...

Reference projects Sub Surface Line (SSL) - London Together with Bombardier Transportation special electric power distribution panels (AC & DC) have been developed. A smart mechanical construction was designed for easy assembly and access under the seats in the train to optimize use of limited space. A construction was selected where the earth leakage module is combined with circuit breakers to guarantee optimum user safety. For this project (2009 - 2015) a total of 32.000 Mors Smitt circuit breakers are used SEPTA Philadelphia Especially for SEPTA Philadelphia Mors Smitt designed a solution...
