Electronic Circuit Breakers (ECBs)

A high switch-on capacity is combined with an electronic relay.
WAGO's space-saving ECBs come into play when the focus is on both safety and a superior price-performance ratio.

ECBs from the EPSITRON® family have a lot to offer:

  • They offer reliable protection against overload and short circuit.
  • They also enable activation of high-capacity loads of 50,000 microfarad and higher – without having to increase the nominal current setting.
  • One, two-, four- and eight-channel models with 0.5 to 12 A current ratings offer you the flexibility you need for setting the nominal current to suit your individual applications.
  • With a maximum width of 45 mm (1.772 inches), these ECBs feature high channel density to save space in the control cabinet.
  • Some devices are also available with active current limitation, preventing the power supply unit from overloading during a short circuit.

The Benefits of WAGO’s ECBs for You

Discover Our Electronic Circuit Breakers (ECBs)

Single-Channel ECBs

With a width of only 6 mm (0.236 inch), these new circuit breakers are the narrowest ECBs currently on the market. They are approximately 66% smaller than miniature circuit breakers to save even more space, particularly when used in control cabinets. These ECBs enable high-capacity loads greater than 50,000 microfarads to be switched on, without requiring further action or changing the nominal current, helping reduce false tripping due to inrush currents.

Your benefits:

  • 24 VDC / in six versions for rated currents of 1 to 8 A
  • With devices color coded according to nominal current
  • An extremely slimline version
  • Switch-on capacity: >50,000 µF
  • Wide operating temperature range: −25 … +70°C (−13 … +158°F)
  • Resetting, on/off switching directly on the module or remotely via digital input signal
  • Triggered signal output can also be combined as a group signal for up to 30 devices
  • Approvals: CE, UL 61010, UL 2367

2-, 4- and 8-Channel ECBs

WAGO's space-saving ECBs provide reliable protection with a superior price/performance ratio. They offer both outstanding features and reliable protection against overload and short circuits. With a maximum width of 45 mm (1.772 inches), these ECBs feature high channel density to save space in the control cabinet.

Your benefits:

  • Two-, four- and eight-channel protective switch with currents adjustable from 0.5 to 12 A
  • High switch-on capacity: >50,000 µF
  • Communication capability: remote monitoring and reset
  • Optional active current limitation
  • Approvals: CE, UL 60950, UL 2367, GL
