EZC100H2032

What type of device is this?

This is a fixed thermal-magnetic molded case circuit breaker for power distribution applications. It is designed for overload and short-circuit protection in AC and DC installations.

What are the main electrical ratings?

This unit is rated at 32 A, has 2 poles, and is designed for 50/60 Hz networks. Its rated insulation voltage is 690 V AC, rated operational voltage is up to 550 V AC and 250 V DC, and rated impulse withstand voltage is 6 kV.

What breaking capacity does it offer?

The breaker has a high breaking-capacity code of H. Key Icu values include 30 kA at 415 V AC, 30 kA at 380 to 400 V AC, 50 kA at 220 to 240 V AC, 20 kA at 440 V AC, and 10 kA at 250 V DC.

What does thermal-magnetic trip mean for this breaker?

A thermal-magnetic trip unit combines two protective functions in one device: thermal operation for overload conditions and magnetic operation for short-circuit conditions. On the Schneider EZC100H2032, this gives straightforward protection for distribution circuits without requiring electronic adjustment features.

Is it intended for AC, DC, or both?

It is suitable for both AC and DC networks. The published ratings cover AC operation at 50/60 Hz as well as DC operation up to 250 V DC, so it can be considered for a range of distribution panel applications where the electrical characteristics match the installation.

How is this breaker mounted and connected?

This is a fixed-mount device designed for backplate mounting. Both the line-side and load-side connections are front connected, which can help simplify panel layout and access during installation.

Does it include earth-leakage protection?

No. This breaker provides overload and short-circuit protection, but it does not include earth-leakage protection.

What are the physical dimensions?

The overall dimensions are 130 mm high, 50 mm wide, and 60 mm deep. The connection pitch is 25 mm.

What operating conditions is it designed for?

This breaker is specified for ambient operating temperatures from -25 °C to 70 °C, with storage temperatures from -35 °C to 85 °C. It has an IP20 degree of protection and an IK07 impact rating.

Is it suitable for use as an isolating device?

Yes. It is stated as suitable for isolation in accordance with IEC 60947-2, making it appropriate for applications where that function is required within the broader electrical design.

What standards does it conform to?

The device is listed to EN/IEC 60947-1, EN/IEC 60947-2, GB/T 14048.2, and JIS C8201-2-2. These references are commonly used when specifying low-voltage circuit protection equipment for industrial and commercial systems.

Is there any local status indication on the device?

Yes. It includes positive contact indication, which gives a clear local indication of the breaker contact position.

What kind of durability can be expected from the mechanism?

The breaker is rated for 8,500 mechanical cycles and 1,500 electrical cycles at 415 V AC 50/60 Hz under Category A conditions in accordance with IEC 60947-2.

What kinds of applications is this breaker generally used in?

It is generally selected for distribution duties in low-voltage electrical panels, including control panels, switchboards, and other installations where a compact 2-pole breaker with fixed thermal-magnetic protection is required.
