The company showcased the Swiss manufactured Eaton Heinemann range of hydraulic magnetic breakers, used in telecoms, rail traction and other applications requiring assured protection without nuisance tripping. The illuminated toggle circuit breaker, that allows a tripped breaker to be easily identified and reset, was new at the show. The compact Slimline circuit breaker also made its debut.

Rowe Hankins distribute other high quality electrical products for the OEM market. These include their own brand of thermal magnetic circuit breakers and switches and also the Marquardt range of switches. These are available in rocker, pole, snap-action, and push button styles for use in panel building, OEM equipment and appliances.

Rowe Hankins have in-house design, test and manufacturing facilities and these play a key role in their ISO 9000 quality assurance system. In-house skills also allow the company to build components into tested and ready-to-assemble modules to enable faster build times demanded by downstream manufacturers.

Sharing the stand were Cudis, the domestic power division of Rowe Hankins, showing their innovative CPN range of circuit breakers, consumer units and sockets. These have won strong support from electrical contractors and distributors for attractive styling, safety features and keen pricing.

Heinemann hydraulic-magnetic breakers are the first choice for reliable, temperature independent, operation in demanding electrical applications. Telecoms, IT data centres, traction, marine, process industries, HVAC and lighting all require precise protection without the danger of nuisance tripping.

Breakers can carry one hundred percent of their rated current, even at elevated temperatures. Models are available that comply with a range of time-delay trip curves to meet the precise needs of different electrical conditions. The breakers will even cope with a current in-rush, below their threshold rating, without nuisance tripping. These features minimise unnecessary downtime and interruption of critical processes.

Circuit breakers are available in the AMR Series with ratings up to 100A and interruption current ratings up to 10KA to eliminate the need for branch fusing. ACR breakers are already approved by Underwriters Laboratories under UL1077 and 489 and IEC approval is in progress. UK distributors Rowe Hankins are happy to provide technical service and advice on product selection to meet electrical protection requirements for differing applications and environments. Technical information is also available through their web site www.rowehankins.com.

The Slimline offers all the performance of a full sized hydraulic magnetic breaker in a 1U miniaturised package. Positive operation is assured by a patented snap-action movement. This controls the contacts through a stored energy mechanism closing them in one swift action when the operator moves the handle to ‘on’. This advanced feature helps prevent premature contact failure, increases efficiency and permits higher current ratings.

In addition to higher device packing density, the compact size gives designers much more flexibility. The hydraulic magnetic mechanism can be calibrated against medium, short or instantaneous delay trip curves. Nuisance tripping is completely avoided and a one hundred percent rated performance is delivered, even at raised temperatures and with current in-rush.

1U Series Slimline circuit beakers are available in current ranges 1 to 100 Amps and are rated 80Vdc and up to 240Vac. They perform reliably in temperatures from -40 to +80 degrees Celsius. The units are CE marked and accepted by Underwriters Laboratories as compliant with UL489 for branch circuit protection.
