Eaton NZMB1-A40 3-polige vermogensschakelaar, 40 A, 690 V AC, thermisch-magnetisch 259075

This Eaton NZM1 series circuit breaker stands out with its robust 3-pole design and thermal-magnetic trip unit, delivering reliable protection for industrial power distribution systems up to 690 V AC. Unlike many breakers in its class, it offers a fixed short-circuit release set at 10 times the rated current, ensuring fast response to high fault currents.

Highlights

• 3-pole configuration for three-phase systems
• Rated current of 40 A with fixed thermal and magnetic releases
• High short-circuit breaking capacity of 25 kA at 400/415 V AC
• Compact NZM1 frame size for space-saving installation
• Front screw terminals for secure and easy wiring

In daily use

Designed for fixed installation in control panels and switchgear, the NZMB1-A40 provides dependable overload and short-circuit protection for motors, cables, and other loads. Its thermal-magnetic trip unit reacts predictably to both gradual overloads and sudden faults, minimizing downtime and equipment damage. The IP40 front protection and IP20 terminal protection make it suitable for standard industrial environments.
