Instantaneous trip magnetic only circuit breakers have a single adjustment which simultaneously sets the magnetic trip level of each individual pole. Mag-Gard circuit breakers comply with NEC
® requirements for providing motor circuit protection when installed as part of a UL Listed combination controller having motor overload protection. Interrupting ratings are established for these UL Recognized Components only when they are used in combination with motor starters with properly sized overload relays and contactors.
Mag-Gard circuit breakers will accept the same lugs and accessories as equivalent thermal-magnetic circuit breakers. Mag-Gard circuit breakers are available with I-Line construction. H-construction Mag-Gard circuit breakers are also available.
Automatic molded case switches open instantaneously at a factory preset magnetic trip point, calibrated to protect only the molded case switch itself, when it is subjected to high fault currents. The trip point is nonadjustable and provides no overload or low level fault protection.
