Electronic circuit breakers - function and design
Electronic circuit breakers are often used in communication and automation technology. Depending on the type, they can be remotely controlled either mechanically or electrically.
Additional advantages
- A monitoring and remote signaling concept that is independent of the location
- Also reliable in the case of high cable resistance of longer cables, thanks to active current limitation
- Maximum system availability due to the compact design with precise nominal current levels
- Remote-controlled reset or control input
- Bridgeable circuit breakers (in the base element)
- Easy installation, thanks to uniform plug-in housing concept

Areas of application
Circuit breakers in system engineering
Electronic circuit breakers are particularly suitable for use in system and machine engineering, with a supply voltage of 24 V DC.
They protect all loads that are supplied by a switched-mode power supply unit.
Thanks to the active current limitation, even very remote devices can be protected reliably.
Applications
For example, electronic device circuit breakers reliably protect relays, programmable controllers, motors, sensors, and actuators as well as valves.
