WEG introduces ACW series of molded-case circuit breakers

WEG Electric Corp. has launched its ACW series of molded-case circuit breakers.   The ACW series is designed to disconnect power and to provide circuit protection for low voltage distribution systems against overloads and/or short circuits. Now available, with UL489 certification, the ACW series can be ordered in one of four different compact frames.  Standard selection factors include: voltage and frequency rating, interrupting rating, continuous current rating, and accessories.

“The ACW Series will assure top performance for both thermal and short-circuit protection from 15 to 800 Amps,” said Bruce Gaynor, WEG Electric Corp. automation manger.  “This series offers excellent performance at a competitive price point.”

The ACW series is also available in two levels of short-circuit interrupting capacity – “P” for standard industrial and commercial applications and “W” for high-performance applications. Common plug-in accessories simplify field installation and minimize inventory variations on distributors’ shelves.

 Additionally, cascading protection offers an economical approach by facilitating the use of downstream, low-cost, low-fault level breakers to offer savings in both the cost and size of equipment.
