AIRPAX IAL/CEL/LEL Series Magnetic Circuit Breakers

AIRPAX IAL/CEL/LEL Series Magnetic Circuit Breakers provide low-cost power switching, reliable circuit protection, and accurate circuit control for equipment. The IAL models are designed for applications where the unit’s inherent attributes are needed, but compliance with various standards is not required. IUL models have been tested and approved in accordance with UL 1077 requirements for UL recognition. IEL/LEL models are TUV approved to IEC 60947-2 and meet IEC spacing requirements. The CEL variants come with two enhancements, including a single pole, a 125A rating with TUV approval, and a parallel 4-pole version with a 400A rating.

IAL/CEL/LEL Series Circuit Breakers are available in a wide variety of configurations, including series, series with auxiliary switch, shunt, and relay with a choice of delays and ratings. The circuit breakers are available in single or multi-pole versions. These circuit breakers find applications in communication, navigation, and radar.

We bring the whole house when we go camping. Our camper is loaded with appliances, including a refrigerator, microwave, and stove, to name a few. I’m always popping the breaker when I get up and turn on the coffee pot. So, if you camp like we do, you need reliable circuit protection. Sensata’s Airpax IAL, CEL, and LEL Magnetic Circuit Breakers provide accurate circuit control at a low cost for applications including aircraft instrumentation, communication, navigation, and radar.

Single and multi-pole breakers are available in a wide variety of configurations and ratings with several terminal types for compatible installation. IAL models are intended for use where compliance is not required while delivering a performance that matches the most common standards. LEL and CEL breakers include an optional auxiliary contact and a 125% instantaneous trip for motor protection. CEL models meet TUV and IEC requirements and include a UL489A listed 4 pole, 400A breaker for commercial and industrial applications.
