Technical Information: The Benefits of Limiting Let-Through Energy
Energy Limiting Circuit Breakers Versus Conventional Breakers
The Bulletin 1492-CB and 1492-SP lines feature the unique ability to achieve short circuit interruptions far more effectively than conventional
circuit breakers. In conventional circuit breakers, the short circuit interruption time required is approximately one or two half cycles of an AC
sine wave. When the contacts open, the resulting arc continues to burn until the current level passes through zero. The arc may re-ignite
because of the insufficient width of the contact gap. The current that flows until the arc is extinguished produces a heating effect proportional
to the Ι2t value (let-through-energy) of the fault current.
These devices are designed to substantially reduce the amount of let-through-current and the resulting let-through-energy that can damage
protected components. They have the ability to interrupt short circuit current within the first half cycle of the fault. Limiting let-through-energy
will protect against the harmful effects of over-current and is focused primarily on avoiding the following:
� Excessive Heat
� Mechanical Damage
Both of these factors are proportional to the square of the current. Thermal energy is proportional to the square of the RMS value and
magnetic forces are proportional to the square of the peak value. The most effective way to provide protection is to subtantially limit let-
through-energy.This provides the following advantages:
� Far less damage at the location of the short circuit.
� Fast electric separation of a faulty unit from the system, especially power supplies connected in parallel that are switched off when the
voltage of the power bus drops below a certain level.
� Far less wear on the miniature circuit breaker itself. This means more safe interruptions.
� Better protection of all components in the short circuit path.
� Far wider range of selective action when used with an upstream protective device. (No nuisance shut downs from feeder line interruptions
causing a blackout in all connected branches.)

Product Overview/Specifications
Bulletin 1492-FB — DIN Rail Mounting Fuse Holders
Bulletin 1492-FB Class CC, J, and Midget fuse holders provide a safe and convenient means for the installation of the noted fuses. These
fuse holders are available with or without blown fuse indication for easily integrated overcurrent protection. The housing package isolates the
fuse from the circuit when installing and removing fuses.
Class CC and J holders are UL listed for branch circuit protection in electrical distribution systems. They are excellent for small motor loads
and for group protection of small motors. Midget holders are UL recognized. The Bulletin 1492-FB fuse holder family is designed for use in
many applications such as protection of power supplies, primary and secondary control transformers, solenoids, lighting and heater loads,
drives, and other equipment protection. The Bulletin 1492-FB provides IP2 dead-front construction and is designed to be IEC 529 finger-safe.
The handle isolates the fuse from the line power each time the handle is opened for fuse removal and insertion.
These fuse holders accept fuses by simply sliding the fuse into the holder without the need of special tools. The fuse holders have backed-
out screws for installation and mount easily on #3 DIN Rail (35 mm). The Class CC is designed to reject midget fuses or international 10 x 38
mm fuses. The Type J will reject all fuses other than Class J fuses.
The compact size of the Bulletin 1492-FB fuse holders features a small footprint, requiring less panel space than open-style fuse holders.
