Masterpact NW ANSI-Rated Low Voltage Power Circuit Breakers

Long, Reliable
Operation

The new and

improved Masterpact
NW Power Circuit
Breakers meet or
exceed all of the
rigorous design and
testing standards
required by ANSI.
They offer short-time
withstand ratings up
to 100,000 amperes
and interrupting
ratings up to
200,000 amperes
without fuses
to prevent unnecessary outages and
ensure continuity of

service. Indeed,
their state-of-the-art
thermoset
composite resin
construction
provides higher
electrical ratings
than traditional
metal-frame
breakers in a
smaller, lighter,
easier-to-install
package. They have
been tested
to meet ANSI
endurance levels
without the allowed
intermediate
maintenance.

Onboard
Intelligence

A range of
Micrologic Trip
Units is available to
make the breakers
smarter. These
units provide the
advanced functionality, such as a
communications
interface and
power metering
and monitoring
capability, which
allow for integration
and coordination

of your electrical
system. With the
appropriate
Micrologic Trip
Unit, you can
communicate with
breakers, gather
power information,
monitor events and
remotely control
breakers based on
predetermined
conditions all of
which can lead to
substantial savings
in electrical system
operating costs.

Simplified Maintenance

required by
ANSI.

Masterpact Power Circuit

Breakers and accessories are
field maintainable. Using a
simple racking mechanism, you
can crank out breakers and
inspect and replace parts on site
(Refer to installation instructions
for more details on installation).
Because trip units are interchangeable and plug into
breakers, its also easy to
upgrade breaker functions
over time.
