Built for demanding industrial environments, the Eaton FAZ-D0.5/2-NA is a 0.5A two-pole miniature circuit breaker optimized for motor control applications. It provides robust thermal-magnetic protection for circuits experiencing significant startup surges. This unit mounts seamlessly onto standard DIN rail systems and integrates easily into industrial control panels. Featuring a D-curve trip characteristic, it allows for 10 to 20 times the rated current during inrush events to prevent downtime.
What does the D curve trip characteristic mean for this miniature circuit breaker?
The D curve indicates a high magnetic trip point of 10 to 20 times the rated current. This prevents nuisance tripping in applications with high inrush currents, such as motors, transformers, and power supplies.
Is the FAZ-D0.5/2-NA rated for branch circuit protection?
Yes, this breaker is UL 489 listed, making it suitable for branch circuit protection in industrial control panels and feeder circuits. It can also be used in applications where UL 1077 supplementary protectors are allowed.
How is the FAZ-D0.5/2-NA circuit breaker mounted inside a control panel?
This miniature circuit breaker snaps directly onto a standard 35mm DIN rail, allowing for quick installation in industrial control panels and feeder circuits.
What wire sizes are compatible with the box lug terminals on this 2-pole breaker?
The feed-thru box lug terminals accept wire gauges ranging from 18 AWG to 6 AWG.
Does this Eaton FAZ series breaker offer current limiting protection?
Yes, it features a current limiting design that interrupts fault currents within one half cycle. This reduces peak let-through current and energy, providing superior protection for sensitive downstream equipment.
Can this 0.5A breaker be used in both AC and DC applications?
Yes, it is dual rated for both alternating current and direct current. It supports up to 277/480V AC and up to 96V DC.
Does this breaker feature a trip-free mechanism?
Yes, the trip-free design ensures the breaker will still trip during an overcurrent or short circuit event even if the handle is physically held in the ON position.
What does the NA suffix signify in the FAZ-D0.5/2-NA catalog number?
The NA suffix designates that this breaker is specifically designed and listed for the North American market, meeting UL 489 and CSA standards for branch circuit protection.
How does the thermal magnetic trip function operate on this breaker?
The thermal element provides long time delay protection against sustained overloads, while the magnetic element provides instantaneous protection against short circuits.
