Carling Technologies is pleased to introduce the Remote Operated Circuit Breaker (ROCB). With the ROCB, the convenience of remote ON, OFF and Reset capability has been combined with the safety and accuracy of a standard magnetic current sensing device, allowing operation of the circuit breaker from various locations in a system, facility or site (while not sacrificing the ability to manually operate the breaker if required). Service, diagnostics, load shedding and power distribution control functions can now be performed in areas that were previously unattended, inaccessible or unsafe.

 

The ROCB module allows remote operation of the C-series panel mount breaker, or the D-series DIN rail mount breaker (up to 3 poles) through hard wiring with a single pole, double throw switch connected to a standard power source, or more sophisticated relay and modem networks.

 

The ROCB module can be mounted to either side of the host breaker, while occupying only the width of a standard C-series pole. Several interface methods are available. Remote physical actuation of the host circuit breaker is achieved by connecting the ROCB module's handle with the circuit breakers.

 

Being based on the C-Series breaker, the ROCB allows easy adaptation into existing panel designs. In addition, its' compact size allows efficient use of space for new design applications. With the ROCB, Carling Technologies has designed a versatile, compact and reliable solution -- in a hydraulic/magnetic circuit breaker that can be operated both manually and remotely.

 

Design Features include:

 

  • ON-OFF and trip indication
  • Load shedding
  • Energy management
  • Compact size
  • Automatic reset capable

 

ROCB Motor Specifications:

 

  • Voltage input: 12 VDC to 80 VDC
  • Start current: < 1 amp
  • Switching time: < 2 seconds
