Phoenix Contact: Thermal Protection for High Nominal Currents

The TCP thermal device circuit breakers from Phoenix Contact are being extended to devices with higher nominal currents with the TCP 10 variant. With this expansion, it is now possible to provide thermal overload protection of up to 20 A for larger loads. In combination with the PT 10-FSI/C terminal block portfolio, applications up to 250 V AC and 65 V DC can be equipped with simple basic protection.
