The new 1U Series Slimline, a range of hydraulic magnetic circuit breakers, has been developed especially for rack-mount and limited-space applications.

The new 1U Series Slimline, a range of hydraulic magnetic circuit breakers, developed especially for rack-mount and limited space applications, promises security and emergency control room and instrumentation designers and equipment manufacturers increased power density with reliable performance.

Manufactured by Eaton Heinemann the Slimline is available exclusively in the UK through circuit protection specialist Rowe Hankins Components.

Toni Hankins, managing director of Rowe Hankins Components, commented, 'Reliable telecoms and IT packed tight in racks are the life blood of modern control rooms - power protection is a life and death issue'.

'The 1U Slimline has the performance and reliability of a full sized hydraulic magnetic circuit breaker'.

Positive operation of the Slimline is assured by a patented snap-action movement.

This controls the contacts through a stored energy mechanism closing them in one swift action when the operator moves the handle to 'on'.

This advanced feature helps prevent premature contact failure, increases efficiency and permits higher current ratings.

In addition to higher device packing density, the compact size gives designers much more flexibility.

Units can be supplied calibrated against medium, short or instantaneous delay trip curves.

Nuisance tripping is avoided with one hundred percent rated performance, even at raised temperatures and with current in-rush.

1U Series Slimline circuit beakers are available in current ranges 1 to 100 Amps and are rated 80Vdc and up to 240Vac.

They perform reliably in temperatures from -40 to +80C.

The units are CE marked and accepted by Underwriters Laboratories as compliant with UL489 for branch circuit protection.
