  • Reliable protection of your devices - targeted shutdown in the event of an error
  • Versatile, thanks to the various trigger mechanisms

Targeted shutdown


Device circuit breakers usually protect individual items of equipment. In the event of an error, they only shut down the affected actuator or sensor in the faulty circuit.

This means that the production process continues running without interruption.

Based on their function, device circuit breakers can be split into the following groups:

  • Thermal circuit breakers for protection against overload
  • Thermomagnetic circuit breakers for protection against overload and short circuit
  • Electronic circuit breakers for protection against overload, short circuit, cable attenuation, and high input capacitance
