Miniature Circuit Breakers: Series EP
Below you can find four of our types out of the Series EP.
The EP60 and EP100 are the most commonly used MCB’s in the range of our residential circuit breakers. The EP60 and EP100 are simular to the G60 and G100. However, the G-types are available with the tripping curves B-C-D,while the EP60 and EP 100 only use the K-curve. There is no 1+N execution in the K-curve. A second difference is that the MCB’s within the Series EP have a labelholder, so they can be tagged. For the Series G this is not the case.
The EP100 UC breaker can be used for direct and alternating current.
The EP100 R is used for railway applications.
Our MCB’s within the Series EP can be delivered with following add-on devices:
Auxiliary contacts, undervoltage release (Tele U), shunt trip (Tele L), motor operator (Tele Mp) and panel board switch (PBS).
Accessories are available for the MCB’s within our Series EP.
It also needs to be mentioned that this is not the complete Series EP. We also offer EP-breakers with UL approval. For more details you should go to the Series EP with UL approval page of our website..
See below the main features for this range.
