The Cutler-Hammer SPCL1C05 is a single-pole supplementary protector circuit breaker designed to provide overcurrent protection within electrical equipment where branch circuit protection is already provided or not required.
Key Features
- Voltage Rating: 120 VAC and 12 to 65 VDC
- Current Rating: 5 Amperes
- Interrupting Capacity: 10 kA
- Overcurrent Curve: Type C, suitable for general-purpose industrial applications with higher inrush tolerance
- Mounting: Quick snap-on design for easy installation on 35 mm DIN rail
- Protection Degree: IP20, ensuring protection against solid objects larger than 12.5 mm
- Wire Size Compatibility: Accepts wire sizes from 14 to 6 AWG
Design and Functionality
The SPCL1C05 features a light gray case with a charcoal gray handle, providing a clear visual indication of its status. The handle includes a unique center trip “reset” position that indicates an overcurrent trip, enhancing safety and ease of use. Additionally, the “OFF” (O) and “ON” (I) positions are visually indicated by red and green flags, respectively.
Its current-limiting design ensures fast short-circuit interruption, reducing let-through energy and minimizing potential damage to the circuit. The Type C overcurrent curve offers maximum reliability and accuracy, making it ideal for applications requiring higher inrush tolerance.
Applications
The SPCL1C05 is suitable for various applications, including:
- Protecting motor control circuits
- Safeguarding small control circuit transformers
- Shielding relays and contactor coils
- Ensuring the safety of power supplies
- Protecting PLC I/O points
- Securing appliances and electronic equipment
Its design makes it an ideal replacement for fuses in control circuits, offering enhanced protection and reliability.
