Main functions and features

The intelligent controller is the core component of the molded case circuit breaker, which is used for motor protection or power distribution protection, to realize the measurement, protection, control and communication functions in the body, so that the line and power supply equipment are protected from overload, short circuit, grounding and other fault hazards.
  • Stable MCU microprocessor controller: the intelligent controller can self-supply power supply. As long as the phase is energized and the current is not less than 20% of its rated value, it can ensure the normal operation of the protection function;
  • Three-stage protection selective fit: the circuit breaker classified as class B and other short-circuit protection devices connected in the same circuit have selective fit under short-circuit conditions. Includes overload long delay anti-time limit, short-circuit delay (anti-time limit, fixed time limit), and short-circuit instantaneous configurations;
  • Adjustable parameter settings: features three protection parameter settings for action current and action time, adjustable in 4-10 steps according to load requirements (custom turn-off options available upon ordering);
  • High-current instantaneous tripping function: when closed, if encountering a short-circuit and large current (≥20Inm), the magnetic tripping mechanism trips directly for enhanced safety;
  • Tripping test function: the action characteristics of the circuit breaker are tested by the DC 12V voltage;
  • Fault self-diagnosis: continuously monitors the working status and operation of the intelligent controller itself;
  • LED status indications: pre-alarm indication (yellow LED) when load current reaches/exceeds setting value; overload indication (red LED) when limits are exceeded;
  • Flux exchanger double air gap technology: ensures stable work, eliminates malfunction, guarantees reliable tripping, and operates with small power;
  • High protection accuracy: overload protection and short-circuit short-delay protection action time accuracy is within ±10%, and short-circuit instantaneous protection action value accuracy is within ±15% depending on action current.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What are the main protection functions of the GNM1E series electronic circuit breaker?
It features comprehensive protection capabilities including overload long delay reverse time limit, short circuit short delay reverse time limit, short circuit short delay time limit, short circuit instantaneous, and under-voltage protection. Optional functions include residual current protection and phase loss protection.
What is the difference between M type and H type models?
The distinction is based on their rated limit short-circuit breaking capacity, where M type indicates the high breaking type and H type represents the high breaking type. Both types maintain features like small size, short arc, and high vibration resistance.
What are the installation requirements and working conditions?
The circuit breaker should be installed vertically. It operates normally at altitudes ≤ 2000m, ambient temperatures between -5°C and +40°C (with a 24-hour average not exceeding +35°C), and in environments free from rain, snow, explosion hazards, or corrosive gas/conductive dust.
Can the protection parameters of the controller be adjusted?
Yes. The intelligent controller features three protection parameter settings for action current and action time, which can be adjusted in 4 to 10 steps. This allows users to configure the controller precisely according to specific load current requirements.
Does the circuit breaker support remote communication and monitoring?
Yes, optional communication features support standard RS232, RS485, and Modbus fieldbus protocols. It can also connect to a hand-held programmer for parameter configuration and fault inquiries, or to an intelligent control module with liquid crystal displays.
How does the high-current instantaneous tripping function protect the system?
If the circuit breaker encounters a severe short circuit and large current (≥20Inm) during closure, the magnetic tripping mechanism trips directly to isolate the fault immediately, providing reliable double protection.
