Schneider Electric has introduced the Reflex iC60N and iC60H integrated control circuit breakers, which combine major advantages in a single device.
They offer remote control by latched or impulse type in accordance with three operating modes to be selected by the user and provide protection against short-circuit currents, overload currents and disconnection. Resetting after a fault is done manually using the reset handle. A version with Ti24 allows the Reflex iC60 to directly interface with a PLC, execute remote control and indicate the state of the control circuit or circuit breaker tripping. An iMDU auxiliary enables it to be controlled in 24/48 V AC/DC. The control mode can be adapted to various applications and the devices offer easy diagnostics via a lamp indicator on the front face.
Further advantages include the ability to report data and operate the device via Modbus from either a local supervision system or the largest building management system. The solution is also flexible and easy to upgrade as users do not have to change the whole wiring diagram. The circuit breakers feature a tripping and disconnection device capable of disconnecting and padlocking in the open position and neutralising remote control. The terminals are IP20 insulated and bi-stable operation ensures no change of state in the event of a power outage. A pushbutton offers manual control for opening and closing as well as a choice of operating modes.
Longer service life is ensured by good capacity to withstand overvoltage. The products are designed to provide high industrial performance across all degrees of pollution, rated impulse withstand voltage and insulation voltage. They offer high limitation performance and fast closure independent of the speed of operating handle reset. Fields of application include lighting and heating control and power supply to machinery and workshops in a wide range of industrial process applications.
