Functional Overview
The THED136100WL serves as a critical protection device in 3-phase electrical systems. During normal operation, it conducts current to the load. In overload conditions, the thermal element heats and trips the breaker after a time delay proportional to the overcurrent magnitude. For short circuits, the magnetic element triggers an immediate trip to isolate the fault. The Cu/Al lugs simplify installation, while the high interrupting capacity ensures safety in high-fault environments. By combining robust protection, versatile connectivity, and global certifications, it delivers reliable performance across diverse industrial and commercial applications.
