Overview
The Allen-Bradley 140M-C2E-A63 is a manual motor protector circuit breaker that combines disconnecting means, short-circuit magnetic protection, and overload thermal protection for three-phase industrial motor applications. Rated 0.63 A at 600V AC, this unit is ideal for motor branch circuits requiring Class 10 trip response and is UL/CSA listed for both manual motor controller and self-protected combination motor controller applications.
Key Features
- Class 10 trip—responds to overload within 10 seconds or less
- Standard magnetic trip fixed at 13× instantaneous pickup for branch-circuit and short-circuit protection
- Manual rotary operation with visual trip/test indication
- DIN rail mounting for space-efficient panel layouts
- Lockable twist knob prevents inadvertent tripping
- Adjustable current range 0.40–0.63 A for motor selection flexibility
- Optional auxiliary contacts (front/side) and undervoltage trip available
- UL/CSA Listed (UL508) for compliance with NEC and CEC requirements
