Reliable motor protection – EATON Z-MS-1.6/2 circuit breaker

EATON Z-MS-1.6/2 motor circuit breaker is a compact and efficient solution for protecting electric motors in industrial and construction installations. The device combines overload and short-circuit protection, ensuring comprehensive safety for the motor and the entire installation. This is particularly important in applications where motor failure can lead to costly downtime and damage.

Design and operating principle

The circuit breaker is based on a thermal-magnetic principle. This means it has two independent tripping mechanisms: a thermal one, reacting to overload, and a magnetic one, reacting to short-circuit. The thermal trip protects the motor against prolonged load exceeding its rated continuous current, while the magnetic trip instantly breaks the circuit in the event of a short circuit. The two-pole design (2P) ensures disconnection of both phase and neutral, increasing safety. Screw connections provide a secure and durable connection of the wires.

Applications and benefits

The EATON Z-MS-1.6/2 circuit breaker finds application in a wide range of applications, such as:

• Construction: protection of motors for pumps, fans, garage doors.
• Industry: protection of motors driving machines and production equipment.
• HVAC systems: protection of motors in air conditioners and ventilation systems.
• Home installations: protection of motors in household appliances with a power of up to 0.55 kW.

Why choose this circuit breaker?

• Comprehensive protection: protection against overload and short circuit in one device.
• Adjustable current range: possibility of adaptation to specific application needs (overload 1-1.6A, short-circuit 16-21A).
• High breaking capacity: 10 kA at 400V AC ensures effective circuit disconnection in the event of serious failures.
