F-Series
F-Series
CIRCUIT BREAKER
in extremely hot and/or cold locations. Due to its time-proven hydraulic-magnetic design, the F-Series load
sensing mechanism is insensitive to changes in ambient or enclosure temperature, providing a consistent trip
point over temperatures ranging from -40°C to +85°C. Additionally, the F-Series circuit breakers come with a
choice of overload time delays, making them ideal for critical applications having inductive loads.
T
he F-Series hydraulic-magnetic high amperage circuit breakers are designed to handle high current applications
Further, the F-Series breakers are available up to 700A and an optional 25 millivolt metering shunt construction
provides a safe method for monitoring current flowing through the breaker by simply connecting a meter
with light gauge wire to the appropriate terminals located on the shunt housing at the rear of the breaker.
Applications can be customized by measuring and displaying percentage of current, watts or safe/danger zones.
Product Highlights:
AC ratings to UL 489
DC voltage ratings up to 700A with metering
shunt section
Consistent trip point over temperatures ranging
from -40°C to +85°C
Optional 25 millivolt metering shunt construction
Typical Applications:
Ideal for applications under
extreme temperatures
Higher Amperage
