3120-N... Thermal Circuit Breaker
1846
 1
Description
The 3120 thermal circuit breaker/switch combination unites overcurrent  
protection and the function of an ON/OFF switch within a single 
component. The trip element is a thermal bimetal. Type 3120 is ideally 
suited for overload protection of motors, pumps, transformers and 
cables. After tripping, it can reliably, easily and quickly be reset. The 
positively trip-free mechanism ensures reliable disconnection of the 
circuit even with the actuator blocked. 
Versions upon request:
l  ON/OFF switch without overcurrent protection according to the  
relevant standard for switches for appliances IEC/EN 61058 
l thermal-magnetic version for an additional short circuit protection
3120-N
