E-T-A

  In Hall 3C / Stand 428, E-T-A will be exhibiting its latest products at this year's SPS IPC Drives show. The company will provide you with information on overcurrent protection, power distribution and system solutions.

E-T-A Circuit Breakers has introduced a new, low-cost family of miniaturised thermal circuit breakers. Unlike standard fuses, the E-T-A 1657, 1658 and 1659 single-pole circuit breakers are easily and quickly reset after tripping due to overcurrent. Between them they offer a choice of current rating and tripping characteristics, blade or screw terminals, thread-neck or snap-in mounting, and button or auto reset. Watersplash protection for the actuator button is offered as an accessory.

E-T-A Circuit Breakers has introduced a new electronic circuit protector providing active current limitation for selective protection of load circuits powered by 24V DC power supplies in industrial and building automation applications.

E-T-A Circuit Breakers has now obtained ATEX approval for special versions of its ESX10 and ESX10-T electronic overcurrent protection products for automation applications. Designed to reduce costly downtime and danger to personnel on production lines, the ESX10 can be plugged directly into an E-T-A Module 17plus power distribution socket which is mountable on a DIN/EN rail, while the ESX10-T is for direct rail mounting.

E-T-A Circuit Breakers has extended its range of terminal blocks with the sockets 80plus, for direct line insertion without tools, and the 81plus. Both can be populated selectively with the pluggable E-T-A thermal-magnetic circuit breaker 2216-S or with the pluggable E-T-A electronic circuit overcurrent protector REF16-S. The new one-way and side-by-side mountable sockets offer a space-saving overall width of just 12.5mm and can easily be snapped onto a DIN rail.

E-T-A Circuit Breakers specialises in providing customised circuit protection solutions designed to facilitate the installation and use of E-T-A products. The customised service involves designing solutions in conjunction with the customer and building them fully interconnected to an agreed schedule.

E-T-A Circuit Breakers, quality designer and manufacturer of a broad range of electro-mechanical and electronic products for circuit protection, has introduced a new compact thermal-magnetic circuit breaker type 2216-S, increasing its plug-in mounting product range for automation in industrial and buildings applications. The single or double pole E-T-A 2216-S enables cost-effective integration of protection against overcurrent in a control cabinet or in a local area.

E-T-A Circuit Breakers has introduced a new, simplified, low-cost, decentralised electrical power distribution system, each module offering up to 10 outputs rated up to 8A/10A per channel. E-T-A PowerPlex Compact provides localised monitoring, control and reliable protection of safety-critical electrical circuits, at the same time offering reduced cabling costs and build time. Communication with the PowerPlex modules is via CAN-bus using SAE J1939 based protocols.

E-T-A Circuit Breakers, quality designer and manufacturer of a broad range of electro-mechanical and electronic products for circuit protection, has introduced a new high-capacity DC disconnect switch providing physical isolation for up to 1500V DC in a very compact design.

E-T-A Circuit Breakers has introduced a new bi-stable power relay designed for single-pole switching of loads in vehicle and watercraft applications. Suitable for use as a battery disconnect relay or for switching other high current circuits, the new E-T-A PR80 features a robust design, offers side or foot mounting styles and has a high level of protection against water and dust ingression.

E-T-A Circuit Breakers, quality designer and manufacturer of a broad range of electro-mechanical and electronic products for circuit protection, has introduced a new low cost E-T-A 1626 miniaturised circuit breaker designed as a direct replacement for blade-type fuses. It provides superior protection to fuses through its ability to distinguish between temporary surges and genuine overloads. As well as protecting electrical circuits in cars, trucks and buses, it can also be used in watercraft and other 12/24V DC wiring applications, such as heavy-duty and off-road vehicles.

At Autosport Engineering, E-T-A Circuit Breakers will be displaying a wide range of electrical circuit protection solutions, including battery isolation switches, colour-coded, resettable blade-fuse style circuit breakers, remotely operated power controllers and high performance circuit breakers. The great benefit of using circuit breakers in competition cars is the ability to rapidly re-set the circuit breaker in the event of an overcurrent. Thus intermittent faults, which can easily occur when vehicles are used at their limit, do not put the car out of action. All E-T-A products are well proven in competition conditions, on the track and in rallies, for the protection of car electrical systems.

E-T-A Circuit Breakers has introduced a new rail-mounted electronic circuit breaker, the E-T-A . Compliant with the machinery safety standard EN60204-1 and particularly useful in process control, the steel industry and power plant technology, it offers selective disconnection and double-pole physical isolation of loads, only disconnecting faulty load circuits in the event of an overload or short circuit.

E-T-A Circuit Breakers has introduced a new variant of its extremely versatile and reliable 3120 Series of rocker-actuated, combined switch / circuit breakers. The optional integral LED illumination in a range of colours that is now available on the Type 3120 offers power saving and improved endurance compared to earlier versions with filament bulbs. The well-proven 3120 is used widely for applications which include electrical machinery, power tools, household appliances and garden machinery, as well as for marine control panels, medical equipment and communications systems.

E-T-A Circuit Breakers, quality designer and manufacturer of a comprehensive range of electro-mechanical and electronic products for circuit protection, has produced a new corporate brochure covering its global capability, innovative partnering and technology leadership for electronic, mechatronic and electro-mechanical products protecting equipment and processes against the effects of overloads and short circuits. The document can be downloaded at www.e-t-a.co.uk/corporate_brochure

E-T-A Circuit Breakers has introduced a power relay designed for single-pole switching of loads in vehicle and watercraft applications. Suitable for use as a battery disconnect relay or for switching other high current circuits, the new E-T-A PR60 features a robust design, offers various mounting styles and has a high level of protection against water and dust ingression.

E-T-A Circuit Breakers has introduced a new rocker-actuated single/double pole combined circuit breaker and ON/OFF switch with optional water splash protection. Attractively styled for front panel mounting, the cost-effective E-T-A Type 1120 Thermal Circuit Breaker offers superior quality and reliability for single phase applications. Typical applications include household appliances, office equipment, garden and hobby tools, electric motors, power supplies, battery chargers, cable extension reels and multiple socket outlets.

E-T-A Circuit Breakers has introduced a new rail-mountable, thermal-magnetic circuit breaker for the overcurrent protection of loads and their supply cables in plant and process control systems. It enables failures to be detected without delay to prevent personal injury as well as machinery from being damaged. Its small width of only 12.5mm gives it a competitive edge over standard products, which typically have widths of 17mm or even 22.5mm, enabling maximum exploitation of available space on a rail.

E-T-A Circuit Breakers has introduced a new version of its compact ESX10 electronic overcurrent protection product for automation applications. Designed to reduce costly downtime and danger to personnel on production lines, the new ESX10-T is ready for direct rail mounting, singly or in groups. Single or group signalisation is quickly attainable.

E-T-A Circuit Breakers has introduced a newly designed printed circuit board (PCB) for the E-T-A 19BGT 19 rack. This addition to E-T-A’s range of system solutions offers a cost-effective approach for applications in factory automation, the chemical and pharmaceutical industries and telecommunications, by reducing wiring times.
