UT 6-TMC M... Thermomagnetic circuit breakers CLIPLINE Data sheet 103943_en_04 1 © PHOENIX CONTACT 2010-08-18 Description The UT 6-TMC M circuit breaker is a single-position overload circuit breaker with thermomagnetic tripping. It is a space-saving circuit breaker with trip-free mechanism in the event of overload and short circuits within the maximum interrupting rating. The UT 6-TMC M is mounted on an NS 35 DIN rail. UT 6-TMC M thermomagnetic circuit breakers feature a compact design, large labeling areas, and a double plug-in bridge shaft. The circuit breakers provide a high level of system availability thanks to their reclosure function and clear status display. Eleven nominal current versions can be selected from 0.5 A to 16 A. The large center labeling area enables clear assignment of the relevant circuit breaker. NOTE: The magnetic tripping ranges differ for alternating currents (AC) and direct currents (DC) (see page 3). The magnetic operating currents for direct currents (DC) are approximately 1.6 times higher. NOTE: When mounted in rows with simultaneous load, a mutual thermal effect occurs (see page 4). Calibration is required for an ambient temperature of +23°C. A correction factor must be used to determine the nominal current for a lower or higher ambient temperature (see page 5). Make sure you always use the latest documentation. It can be downloaded at www.phoenixcontact.net/catalog.

The mutual thermal effect is tantamount to an increase in the ambient temperature (see page 5). This depends on the following: – The nominal current – The ambient temperature – The number of devices – The distance between devices Calculation example for overdimensioning 5 circuit breakers with In = 10 A are to be mounted in rows. The ambient temperature is +23°C. Nominal current when not mounted in rows Typical correction factor Theoretical nominal current when mounting in rows 3.3 Since the thermal effect varies for each planned installation when mounting in rows, the correction factors must be defined individually and tested. df = 1.25 In row = 10 A X 1.25 = 12.5 A Internal resistance of the UT 6-TMC M Nominal current 0.5 A 1.0 A 2.0 A 4.0 A 5.0 A 6.0 A 8.0 A 10.0 A 12.0 A 15.0 A 16.0 A The nominal device current can be either overdimensioned or limited. When the UT 6-TMC M is mounted in rows, the correction factor is usually in the range of 1.25 or at 80% (reciprocal) in relation to the limiting nominal current. These values apply in the event of continuous load and at an ambient temperature of +23°C.
