Hydraulic-Magnetic Circuit Breakers Protect Critical IT and Comms

The latest ranges of high precision hydraulic-magnetic circuit breakers from Rowe Hankins ensure complete circuit protection confidence for IT and communications equipment engineers and managers. The breakers address the need for business continuity and safety – giving maximum uptime in critical systems, including security and fire systems, even where mains power supply may be subject to exceptional surges. The company is the UK distributor for Swiss engineered Eaton Heinemann breakers and offers devices to meet every need from 0.01 to 1200 Amps.

Rowe Hankins managing director Toni Hankins explained, “Developments in networking business systems, from IP communications in security and fire to the out sourcing of data hosting and processing, mean that many organisations are now even more at risk. Many locations will be protected by UPS and back-up generators. However, few operators realise the disruption that can arise when high in-rush currents, below the critical trip level, activate breakers, or when wrongly specified breakers allow spikes through to damage the systems.”

Hydraulic-magnetic breakers offer precise, specification assured, nuisance-free, tripping. They can operate continuously at 100 percent of their rated current – irrespective of environmental temperature. Tolerant of shock and vibration, they are unaffected by high in-rush currents and will only trip at their rated capacity. They can be specified with differing time delay curves to compensate for electrical anomalies. There are many options available to permit customisation to the application including integrated auxiliary switches, alarms, remote off indicators, illuminated rocker and DIN rail attachments.

The Eaton Heinemann breakers are available in a range of packages to suit different applications. These include single pole and multi pole units and large, standard and compact frame breakers. Environmental protection, from IP20 to IP65, makes them ideal for use in highly controlled equipment rooms through to the harsher more unpredictable environments. The breakers cater for almost every need from high power applications to breakers for instrumentation.

Equipment performance has been tested and approved by independent authorities including VDE, UL and CSA. As exclusive UK distributors for Eaton Heinemann hydraulic-magnetic breakers for over 20 years, Rowe Hankins have unrivalled applications experience and can provide technical support to any engineer seeking selection advice. As manufacturing distributors, Rowe Hankins can pre-assemble subsystems to improve efficiency and productivity for OEM clients.
