PTCB TM thermal-magnetic pluggable circuit breakers

A modular approach to overcurrent protection
PTCB TM thermal-magnetic pluggable circuit breakers

With an overall width of just 8 mm, the pluggable PTCB TM thermal-magnetic circuit breakers provide more space in the control cabinet. Ideal for higher current, they offer easy bridging to COMPLETE line terminal blocks, simplifying the setup of applications. The integrated status signal contact keeps you informed of the switching state at all times, while the current measuring plug provides transparency regarding utilization.

Advantages of the PTCB TM

  • More space in the control cabinet: protection and signaling in an overall width of just 8 mm
  • Simple application setup with the capability of bridging to the CLIPLINE complete terminal blocks
  • Transparency regarding utilization and status with practical current monitoring and remote signaling
  • Easy handling from commissioning to maintenance with clear visibility to the functionality and switching state at all times

A protected connection between the power supply and potential distribution

More space in the control cabinet
In the control cabinet, every millimeter counts. That's why PTCB TM device circuit breakers are engineered with an ultra-slim 8-mm profile, saving up to 65% more space than conventional MCBs. And compact doesn't mean compromise: you still get full protection, integrated signaling, and one of the narrowest designs on the market. More room for components. More flexibility for the future.

Optimum combination for supply and protection
The thermal-magnetic tripping characteristic of the PTCB TM is ideal for high startup currents. In combination with the QUINT POWER power supply, the device circuit breakers ensure high system availability. With SFB technology and static and dynamic boosts, the power supply can deliver up to six times the nominal current for short periods. This ensures that loads are reliably started and secured at the same time.

Side-by-side transparency
Our plug-in thermal-magnetic circuit breakers provide instant visibility for peace of mind. Check the switching status at a glance, right on the device, or monitor remotely with individual or group alerts. Optional current monitoring keeps you informed of load conditions with the ability to set custom thresholds for timely notifications. It's smarter, safer, and designed to keep your system running at its best.

Clear switch position
The position of the tilting lever clearly indicates the status of the circuit breaker, even when de-energized.
Standardized bridge shafts
The bridge shafts are used for simple distribution of potentials. Use the standard accessories from the CLIPLINE complete portfolio here. In addition to the bridge material, various service plugs and pick-off plugs can also be used.
Narrow protective plugs
The narrow width of the circuit breakers saves space in the control cabinet. Because the circuit breakers can be plugged in, they can be easily replaced and the nominal currents adjusted
PTCB CMU – Current Monitoring Unit
The PTCB CMU monitoring module measures the total current of the system. This enables excess loads and deviations to be detected early on site or remotely.
Simple signaling
Potential-free signaling contacts indicate the status of the individual circuit breakers. Setting up interconnection as a collective signal is simple and failsafe with standard bridges.

Resilient thermal-magnetic protection

Thermal-magnetic circuit breakers feature a high breaking capacity and durability. They are immune to current peaks and electromagnetic influences. With no dependence on software or firmware, they are ideal for demanding applications where the focus is on system availability. Our portfolio includes two characteristic trip curve versions with current ranges from 0.5 to 16 A for maximum flexibility.
