Circuit breakers for short circuit and overload
protection of motor applications cover the
current range 0.1 – 45 A (AC-3 rating).
The product range is split in two product sizes.
The smallest size is CTI 25M. It consists of 14 code
numbers and covers the current range 0.1– 32 A.
The bigger size is called CTI 45MB. It consists of
two code numbers and covers the current range
from 23 – 45 A.
The program is very exible and includes addon accessories such as auxiliary contacts, alarm
contacts, voltage and under voltage trips,
connection terminals and bus bars.
Features• Indication for magnetic trip (short circuiting)

Enclosures for the circuit breaker CTI 25M is made
of deform-resistant grey ABS thermoplast.
The enclosures are available with black rotary
handle on a grey background or with red rotary
handle on a yellow background.
Circuit breaker type CTI 25M for overload
protection of electric motors from 0.1 – 25 A full
load current can be mounted into the enclosure.

Short circuit protectionShort circuit coordination is the connection
between the specications of the protection
devices, such as fuses, circuit breakers, MCCB and
its ability to resist short circuit.
Short circuit coordination type 1
Test demand
O-t-CO
O = Breaking a short circuiting
CO = Making and breaking a short circuiting
t = Dened pause (3 min)
No damage to equipment or personal injury
may occur in the event of short circuit. However,
contactors and thermal overload relays are not
required to remain functional after short circuit.
It is typically the maximum short circuit breaking
capacity Icu in use when a plant is dimensioned
according to coordination type 1.

O = Breaking a short circuiting
CO = Making and breaking a short circuiting
t = Dened pause (3 min)
No damage to equipment or personal injury may
occur in the event of short circuit. However, light
contact welding is permissible, provided that
contacts can be separated without deformation,
using a screwdriver for example. Contactors and
thermal overload relays must remain completely
functional after short circuit.
It is typical the short circuit breaking capacity
during operation Ics in use when a plant is
dimensioned according to coordination type 2.
The prospective short circuit current is the current that
ows during a bolt short circuiting without any short
circuit protection device mounted
The ultimate short circuit breaking capacity is the
maximum short circuit current specied by the
manufacturer that a circuit breaker can handle under
circumstances specied in IEC 947-2 and in EN 60947-2
The rated service short circuit breaking capacity is
the maximum short circuit current specied by the
manufacturer that a circuit breaker can handle under
circumstances specied in IEC 947-2 and in EN 60947-2
The Ir-current is a short circuit test current. The size of
the Ir- current is determined by the nominal current of
the product. (See below)
Iq –current is the maximum prospective short circuiting
current stated by the manufacturer and often at the
value 50 kA.
Indicates full short circuit protection at voltages 250V,
400V, 500V and 690V
Indicates full short circuit protection at general
applications. (Will replace gI- and gL –fuses)

1) Thermal trip
The adjustable bimetals ensure a reliable
overload protection of motors. The curve
is mean value curve at 20°C ambient
temperature from cold state. It also ensures
protection of motors by phase failure
(dierential trip).
All three bimetals must be connected in series
by overload protection of 1-phase motors.
2) Magnetic trip
The electromagnetic trips react at a xed
response current. The size of the xed
response current correspond typically to 13
times of the maximum range of the circuit
breakers CTI 25M, CTI 45MB.
