Product Overview
R. STAHL 8530 series miniature circuit breakers are overcurrent devices offering good current limiting for short circuits and high switching capacity (10, 15, or 25 kA). They provide a low load on cables and high selectivity for upstream fuses. These components feature a modular design, available in 1- to 4-pole versions and for rated currents of 0.5-63 A. The maximum installation capacity is 4.5 subunits.
