[SCHURTER INC.]

Product description
The TS-line consists of a series of low cost thermally operated CBEs available in three frame sizes for rated currents up to 40 A.
They are intended to provide protection against sustained overloads. All CBEs of the TS-line use a thermo-bimetal to simulate the thermal behavior of the protected components, which could be conductors in wiring, motors, transformers etc.
The snap-action type of bimetal opens the contact when the temperature of the bimetal has reached a certain threshold level. The circuit will then remain open unless the reset (or ON-) button is permanently depressed. In this case the snap-action contact will momentarily reclose until the bimetal has reached its trip-temperature again and effects the automatic opening operation. This behavior is termed «cycling trip-free». The «cycling» indicates the momentary re-closings which do occur, the «trip-free» indicates that the opening operation of the contacts can not be prevented by pressing the ON or the RESET button.
