oeller has just expanded its FAZ line of miniature circuit breakers to include devices that are listed and certied as molded case circuit breakers per UL 489 and
CSA 22.2, No. 5-02. These new branch circuit breakers, called FAZ-NA, are ideal for
the protection of power supplies, control power transformers, HVAC, refrigeration
equipment, orescent lighting (to 20A) and many other applications requiring a
primary protective device.

Flexible product range
Moeller’s FAZ Branch Circuit Breakers are available in one, two and three pole congurations with 20 dierent current ratings ranging from 0.5A to 40A. All breakers
are available in both C and D tripping curves, oering protection from 5 to 10 and
10 to 20 x the continuous rating of the device (In). Two and three pole devices
can be used in solidly grounded circuits up to 480V AC. The entire line oers short
circuit ratings of 10kA regardless of voltage applied.
Many installation options
FAZ Branch Circuit Breakers are available in two terminal congurations; standard box terminals that accept multiple conductors
and ring-tongue terminals, ideally suited to the demanding requirements of the semi-conductor industry. All breakers mount
on standard 35mm DIN-rail. Bus Connectors and Feeder Terminals facilitate mounting and wiring of multiple miniature circuit
breaker arrays in control panel assemblies. Power to the circuit
breakers can also be fed from the line or load side.
Standard features enhance safety
As with most products from Moeller, FAZ breaker terminals provide nger and backof-hand protection to guard against accidental contact with live parts. A color-coded red/green indicator provides immediate visual indication of device status and
isolation function (green for OFF, red for ON). All FAZ breakers incorporate a “tripfree” mechanism. This prevents the trip function from being defeated by holding the
operator in the ON position. In addition, all FAZ branch circuit breakers are UL listed
and CSA certied for fuseless protection of smaller AWG 18 and 16 conductors!
Worldwide acceptance
FAZ-NA (RT) Molded Case Circuit Breakers are UL Listed for use in the United States
in accordance with NFPA 70 (NEC). The devices comply with UL 489 and CSA 22.2
No. 5-02, meeting the requirements for Molded Case Circuit Breakers. These devices also comply with IEC 60947-2 and are CE compliant.

Tripping characteristics
Moeller FAZ-NA(RT) branch circuit breakers are available with “C” and “D” tripping characteristics. C-curve
devices are suitable for applications where medium
levels of inrush current are expected. Applications include small transformers, lighting, pilot devices, control circuits, and coils. C-curve devices provide a medium magnetic trip point.
Devices with a “D” curve are suitable for applications
where high levels of inrush current are expected. The
high magnetic trip point prevents nuisance tripping in
high inductive applications such as motors, transformers, and power supplies.
Even though not required by NEC or CEC for Branch
Circuit Breakers, Moeller’s FAZ-NA(RT) devices are current limiting, which means they interrupt fault currents
within one half cycle of the fault. Current limiting devices oer superior protection by reducing peak letthrough current and energy.
