WAGO presents multi-channel electronic circuit breakers

By OEM Update Editorial June 18, 2024 6:49 pm

The slimmest multi-channel electronic circuit breakers (ECBs) for 24 VDC are now available with 4 and 8 channels, providing higher wiring density.

The trend in load protection at the 24 V level is shifting towards electronic circuit breakers. Our new ECBs for 24 VDC, available in four (item no. 787-3664) or eight channels (item no. 787-3668), are designed for use in all industries with sensors and actuators and other electrical loads in the 24 VDC range, including process and manufacturing industries, automobile production, and power engineering.

These include the process and manufacturing industries, automobile production and power engineering. With a width of 32 mm, the compact multi-channel modules are the narrowest ECBs available on the market. Wago’s eight-channel circuit breaker takes up 50 % less space than eight single-channel circuit breaker modules. The four-channel circuit breaker is available with the same width: just 32 mm. For expansions, four-channel modules can be replaced with eight-channel ones. An LED-illuminated on/off/reset button and a potential-free signal contact can be used for reliable operations of each ECB channel and for setting the corresponding trip current. The plug-in connectors are protected against mismating, allowing pre-wiring and significantly reducing installation time.
