Product Description:
The MCPT41-0 is a robust circuit protection module suited for use in industrial environments. It is manufactured as part of B & R Automation's range of power modules for automated systems. The module’s intelligent design ensures that connected devices are safeguarded against overloads, short circuits and abnormal current conditions during operation. This protection helps to maintain system integrity and minimize the risk of equipment failure. This unit is rated for a maximum load current of 41 amps, enabling it to protect high-current circuits. The module can handle substantial electrical loads without tripping under normal operating conditions, making it suitable for powering multiple devices or components in parallel.
The MCPT41-0 incorporates a thermal magnetic trip curve, which combines two protection mechanisms to respond effectively to different types of overcurrent conditions. The thermal component reacts to sustained overloads by using a bimetallic strip that bends and trips the circuit as heat builds up over time. This ensures protection against long-term overcurrent that could otherwise damage cables or connected equipment. The magnetic component, on the other hand, responds instantly to short-circuit conditions by using an electromagnetic coil to trip the circuit in milliseconds. Together, these mechanisms provide precise, reliable protection across a wide range of fault scenarios.
This module features an interrupting capacity of 10 kA at 277 VAC, meaning it can safely break fault currents up to 10,000 amps without sustaining damage or endangering the surrounding system. This high interrupt rating is essential in industrial settings where short-circuit currents can reach extremely high levels due to the presence of large power supplies or interconnected loads. This helps to protect upstream equipment, minimizes the risk of fire or equipment failure.
