QF(18)- Series Miniature Circuit Breakers

Product catalog summary
Overview: The document provides detailed technical specifications and features of the QF18-Series Miniature Circuit Breakers, which utilize hydraulic-magnetic technology and are unaffected by ambient temperature, maintaining 100% rated current capability.
Features:
  • Available in one, two, three pole, 1+N, and 3+N configurations.
  • Compliant with VC 8036 and tested to SANS 556-1 standards.
  • Approved by VDE, EAC, CCC, and CE certified.
  • Current ratings range from 1 A to 63 A with a wide range of time delays and operating currents.
  • Precision tripping characteristics with trip indication and mid-trip position.
  • DIN mountable in grey shells, suitable for electrical isolation.
Applications: Suitable for AC branch circuit protection, telecom/datacom equipment, lighting control, UPS equipment, alternative energy, mobile power generation, railway signaling, residential, and industrial equipment.
Technical Data:
  • Operating voltages: 240 Vac and 415 Vac.
  • Ultimate short-circuit breaking capacity (Icu): 5 kA or 6 kA depending on approvals.
  • Ambient operating temperature: -40 °C to +85 °C.
  • Endurance: 10,000 operations (1,500 with current, 8,500 without current).
  • Dielectric strength: 1000 - 2000 Vac for one minute.
  • Rated impulse withstand voltage: 4 kV.
  • Weight: 120 g per pole, 180 g with auxiliary.
Ordering Information: The document provides a detailed breakdown of the ordering code structure, including frame type, switch/neutral options, auxiliary/trip alarm, number of poles, module width, mounting options, time delays, current ratings, and other customizable options.
Time Delay Curves: The document includes tripping characteristics curves for different time delay settings, illustrating the relationship between percentage of rated current and tripping time.
Internal Impedance: A graph is provided showing the internal impedance versus current rating, indicating minimum and maximum impedance values across different amp ratings.
Contact Information: Contact details for CBI-electric in Australia, South Africa, and the USA are provided for further inquiries.

QF(18) - Series Miniature Circuit Breakers Time Delay Curve 100000 Time (seconds) Percentage of rated current * The published time delay curves are generated at 30 oC ambient temperature with the circuit breaker mounted in the up-right position. The “must hold”, “must trip” and “instantaneous trip” current values are not affected by temperature, although delay time for the other operating current values may have to be adjusted using the temperature compensation curve which is available on request.
