Offering maximum reliability and accuracy,
the supplementary protectors fit various
applications where a fuse may have been
previously used. The advantage over fuses is
that it is resettable and the device’s status is
easily and clearly identified by the position of
the handle and the flag indicator. With easy
mounting of the device on a 35 mm (1.38")
DIN rail it is now easier for the customer to
select and apply this modular range, due
to the smaller modular width of the device
and accessories. The WMS supplementary
protector is a dual-rated product for both
AC and DC supplies, in accordance with
UL 1077, CSA 22.2 and IEC 898 standards
and is marked with CE in accordance with
the Low Voltage Directive. With this dual
standard product, you can include it within
your design, knowing that, in the vast
majority of cases wherever the equipment
is used, the product is in line with the local
UL, CSA or IEC (European) requirements.
This is very important as the different
areas of the world market draw closer
together and the need for breakers that meet
different standards is a common, everyday
occurrence. It is to be applied in conjunction
with a branch protector (if branch protection
is required) and can be a replacement for
similarly applied fuses. In addition to this,
you are able to select a device that provides
maximum reliability and accuracy to fit their
various applications (of which there are
many) due to the availability of a wide range
of current ratings from 0.5 to 60 amperes
and three different overcurrent characteristic
curves. With easy mounting of the device on
a 35 mm (1.38") DIN-rail and also the “Quick
3 Step” field mountable accessories, it is
now easier to select and apply this modular
range. In addition, utilizing the bus bar comb
to connect multiple devices from a single
power source, saves time as multiple wire
connections are no longer required. Due to
the smaller modular width of the device and
accessories, it enables them to save space
in their panel or equipment—which directly
leads to cost savings!

Features, Benefits and Functions
Current limiting design provides fast
l
short circuit interruption that reduces
the let-through energy which can
damage the circuit.
lThermal-magnetic overcurrent protection:
Three levels, categorized by B, C and D
curves in direct relation to continuous
rating of device
–B Curve—3 to 5X: Suited for applications
where maximum protection is required for
control circuits from low level short circuit
faults that could damage the wiring.
45
(1.77)
–C Curve—5 to 10X: Is positioned for
medium inrush startup currents, to provide
protection for small transformers, pilot
devices, etc.
–D Curve—10 to 20X: Provides a magnetic
range to allow for higher inrush levels during
startup, that are usually seen with motors,
transformers and other high inductive
systems.
lColor-coded status indicator
window—Red = ON or Green = OFF
lIP20 finger protection.
lProvision for dual connection—
line and load:
–Fork or pin bus bars
–Cable direct into terminal
