This assures you the right product for your application requirements.

UL489
When you need branch circuit protection, Altech offers UL489 Miniature Molded Case Circuit Breakers in both AC and DC voltages. The AC version offers dual voltage rated circuit breakers at 0.2-63A/240VAC and 0.2-32A/480Y/277VAC in 1-3 poles. Altech is the only company that offers a 14kA, 20A C curve single phase breaker at 277V AC. The DC version offers 0.2-63A at 125V (1 pole) and 250V (2 pole).

UL508
If your application requires a manual motor controller, Altech is the leading US supplier of UL508 Manual Motor Controllers (MMC). In AC, we offer up to 60A in 1 to 3 poles at 480Y/277VAC. With 6 trip curves, Altech has the largest selection in the industry. This ensures you the selectivity you require for your application designs. Our MMCs have a 10kA short circuit withstand capacity, this is the highest rating in the industry. The AC version is rated up to 60A and is DC rated in 2 poles up to 80VDC.

UL1077
When your application requires supplemental protection for control circuits and on the load side of branch circuit protectors Altech has solutions. We offer a competitive line of AC Supplementary Protectors, up to 63A, in 1 to 3 poles at 480Y/277VAC with a 10kA short circuit withstand rating.

GFL Series (5A - 40A)
10kA UL489 Listed Branch Circuit Breaker with
Equipment Ground Fault Protection (RCBO)

The UL 489 Branch Circuit with Ground Fault Relay is the 1st in the industry! Since it includes a UL 489 Branch Circuit Protector, in many cases there is no need for upstream circuit protection. It comes in 1+N pole, 2 pole and 2 pole +N configurations at 240V AC, 120/240V AC. It has a rated current of 5 - 40A. It also has a Rated Short Circuit Interrupt Capacity of 10kA and comes in Overload tripping curves B, C and D. The Rated Frequency is 50/60Hz.

GF Series (up to 63A)
480Y/277V AC Ground Fault Sensing
and Relaying Device (RCCB)

The UL 1053 approved device comes in 1 pole + N and 3 pole + N at 277V AC, 480Y/277V AC. It has a Rated Current of 25, 40 and 63A. It also has a Rated Short Circuit Withstand Capacity of 10kA and a Rated Frequency of 50/60Hz.

GFR Series (5A - 40A)
480Y/277V AC Ground Fault Relay
with Overload Protection (RCBO)

The UL 1077/1053 device comes in 1 pole + N and 3 pole + N at 277V AC, 480Y/277V AC. Rated Current ranges from 5 - 40A. It also has a Rated Short Circuit Withstand Capacity of 10kA, and comes in Overload tripping curves B, C and D. The Rated Frequency is 50/60Hz.

Compact DIN rail mount RCCB Earth Leakage Circuit Breakers detect and interrupt ground faults. They are VDE approved for the European system of protecting people, animals, equipment and property from dangerous line-to-ground and shock hazard currents.

The MA was designed to handle the high inrush loads of 3 phase transformers, power supplies, motors, etc. The MA protects wiring and equipment from damage caused by the three major classes of overcurrent, yet greatly reduces the number of nuisance trips in high starting and inrush current circuits.

With its high breaking capacity and current limitation the MS Manual Motor Controllers provide optimum protection for electrical motors as well as for other consumer units up to 25 amps. They are equipped with phase failure sensitivity, isolating and main switch functions. 13 ranges cover nominal rated currents from 0.1 up to 25 amps.

Electrical Ratings: 0.5-16.0A / 240V AC, 50/60Hz, 32V DC / 24V DC (VDE)

Applications:
Protection of Control Transformers, UPS, Power strips, Solenoids etc., against damage due to
overload conditions.
