Additional Details
The FAZ-S40/1 has a rated current of 40A and a breaking capacity suitable for standard applications. It is a single-pole breaker (1P). The voltage rating is typically 230/400V AC. The S-curve trip characteristic makes it suitable for protecting circuits with electronic loads that may draw high inrush currents. The breaker is designed to be used in conjunction with other protective devices, such as surge protectors, to provide comprehensive electrical protection.
