CIRCUIT BREAKERS FOR EQUIPMENT
Product description
The TS-line consists of a series of low cost thermally operated CBEs
available in three frame sizes for rated currents up to 40 A.
They are intended to provide protection against sustained overloads.
All CBEs of the TS-line use a thermo-bimetal to simulate the thermal
behavior of the protected components, which could be conductors in
wiring, motors, transformers etc.
The snap-action type of bimetal opens the contact when the tempe-
rature of the bimetal has reached a certain threshold level. The circuit
will then remain open unless the reset (or ON-) button is permanently
depressed. In this case the snap-action contact will momentarily re-
close until the bimetal has reached its trip-temperature again and
effects the automatic opening operation. This behavior is termed
«cycling trip-free». The «cycling» indicates the momentary re-closings
which do occur, the «trip-free» indicates that the opening operation of
the contacts can not be prevented by pressing the ON or the RESET
button.
Every CBE of the TS-line can well cope with overload currents up to 6
times the rated currents without any back-up assistance. If the fault
current could be higher, CBEs require back-up protection. In many
instances, this back-up protection is provided by the protective devi-
ces of the building installation.
The TS-Line is designed for automatic interruption and non-automatic
(manual) resetting only (R-type CBEs). They utilize a reliable snap-
action bimetal to achieve the automatic opening operation and quick
connect terminals for easy connection.

TS-LINE
The TS-701 line has a threaded neck for panel mounting. The overall
dimensions are slightly bigger, but the available ratings are
considerably higher (up to 40 A).
The TS-709 line is a push to reset type CBE for panel mounting
(threaded neck). Its strong points are the small size and the attractive
price. Rated current are from 3A to 16A.
The TS-710 line fits into the mounting cut-off of miniature fuseholders.
Where the advantage of having a reusable protective device counts,
this CBE has its application.

Effect of ambient
temperature
The unit is calibrated for an ambient tem-
perature of +25°C. To determine the rated
current for a lower or higher ambient
temperature, use a correction factor from
