Slim, but powerful!

Fuses are cheap, though often only at first glance. They have  several disadvantages, particularly when compared to circuit breakers. 

Spare fuses must be kept in stock, generating storage costs. When replacing fuses, there is a risk that the wrong fuses may be fitted by mistake – if they are rated for a higher current or have the wrong characteristic curve. As a result, equipment and machinery are no longer properly protected. Furthermore, fuses deteriorate over time, which can lead to premature tripping. If a fuse is replaced while an overcurrent is still present, the operator is at immediate risk of being injured by electric arcs.

E-T-A's 1110  is an alternative to micro fuse protection with enclosed fuse holders in a vertical design. It is anultra-slim  breaker/switch combination with a bimetal trip mechanism. This is a single-pole protected circuit breaker with push-push actuation for snap-in mounting with rated currents of up to 16 A. The positive trip-free mechanism and the contact-protecting snap-action switching mechanism ensure a long service life. It is also available with front and rear sealing to provide splash water, dirt and dust protection. 

Reduced costs

A single 1110 unit replaces a single-pole on/off switch, a fuse holder and a fuse. This significantly reduces material planning and storage costs and simplifies purchasing logistics. 

Time savings

The mounting time is reduced, as only a single unit must be installed and wiring work between the on/off switch and the fuse holder is omitted.

Space savings

The 1110 features space-saving integral overcurrent protection. This provides additional flexibility when designing equipment and machinery.

Enhanced overall reliability

The fewer individual components that need to be installed, the lower the risk of potential errors. This is why E-T-A's circuit breaker/switch combinations consistently increase the overall reliability of appliances.
