Circuit breaker

Remotely resettable, the breaker permits restart with minimum downtime. In the event of an overload, the circuit shuts down and, after the fault is cleared, the circuit breaker remotely resets. This eliminates the need for an electrician or technician to push a manual reset button, thereby saving money. Faults can be quickly identified because the ESS20-1 communicates with logic controllers and factory-control software. For measurement purposes or to shut down the machinery, the unit is equipped with a manual pushbutton. The breaker has selectable current ratings from 1 to 6 A.
