Features

• Integrated Circuit Protection: Designed to safeguard low-voltage distribution networks, the frame circuit breaker functionality provides essential defense against electrical overloads and short-circuit events.

• Seamless Network Connectivity: The integrated Ethernet port enables the module to act as a communication node, facilitating the transfer of diagnostic data and system status over industrial Ethernet networks.

• Hybrid Efficiency: By housing both protection hardware and communication ports in a single unit, it reduces the physical footprint required in control cabinets and simplifies wiring architectures.

• Reliable Low-Current Monitoring: With a 5A current rating, this module is specifically optimized for protecting sensitive control circuits and auxiliary power loops rather than high-power motor leads.

• High-Clarity Signaling: The module supports high-speed data protocols, ensuring that safety alerts and operational telemetry are transmitted with minimal latency to the central PLC or SCADA system.

• Durable Industrial Build: Finished in a standard white industrial coating, the housing is engineered to withstand the electromagnetic interference (EMI) typically found in power distribution centers.
