Our Power D-Box Systems are highly modular power distribution units that are available in configurations including PCB, Wiring, Economy Power-D-Box, Compact Power-D-Box, and High Power D-Box. Our units are ideal for power distribution in the telecommunication industry (cellular, internet access, transmission and switching technology), industry elle switching and control systems for chemical, oil and gas – power engineering and environmental engineering, pharma and food, and the steel industry. Please visit our website to view images and technical specifications of our Power D-Box Systems. Our technical advisors are on hand to provide advice and information on our complete range of products.



Cabinet System Solutions

We supply reliable cabinet system solutions that are ideally suited to power distribution in industrial switching and control systems in various industries such as oil, gas and chemical, power engineering and environmental engineering, food and steel production and telecommunications. Our SBG-T control cabinets feature integral back-up fuses in the supply modules, reliable selective DC 24V protection with electronic circuit breakers or protectors, ease of mounting through plug-in circuit breakers, ease of modular extension of ways, clear cable management, and more. Please contact our friendly team for further information.



Power Distribution Modules

Our power distribution modules are supplied at competitive prices and are widely used for applications in industries such as telecommunication (mobile, radio, internet, access, transmission and switching technology), and industrial switching and control systems for oil, gas and chemical industry, power engineering and environmental engineering, food and steel industry. Modules are available as track-mountable, Euro-card versions or crossbar versions and feature user-friendly termination technology.  Please visit our website to view our complete range and to download technical datasheets. 



Custom Design Solutions

We specialise in system technology and custom design and produce system solutions to meet specific industry requirements. Our system solutions include Power D-Box systems that only require connection following the plug and play principle, SVS power distribution systems for optimised power distribution, selective over-current protection and intelligent signalling in a track-mountable design, and a complete control cabinet that accommodates power distribution in a compact design. Our specialists work closely with clients to tailor-make effective systems at competitive prices and provide fully rendered 3D images of designs shown in proposals. 



Thermal Overcurrent Circuit Breakers

Our comprehensive range of thermal overcurrent circuit breakers has been created to provide customers with cost-effective solutions for use with a broad range of equipment and systems such as motors and transformer windings, printed circuit boards, low voltage power distribution circuits of road vehicles, boats and battery powered machines. Please visit our website to view images and information regarding our complete range of thermal overcurrent circuit breakers. Please also contact our technical team at E-T-A Circuit Breakers for advice and information regarding selection of the most appropriate product for your particular application’s.



Thermal-Magnetic Overcurrent Circuit Breakers

We also supply a wide selection of thermal-magnetic overcurrent circuit breakers. These models are designed to protect against overcurrent and the short circuit of equipment in industries such as telecommunications and process control where the protection of sophisticated equipment is essential. Our thermal-magnetic overcurrent circuit breakers feature a latching type bimetal that is combined with a magnetic coil for protection and genuine physical contact isolation. Joint benefits include delayed operation for low level overcurrent protection and fast magnetic action of higher value short circuits resulting in the disconnection of faulty circuit within milliseconds. 



Hydraulic-magnetic and Magnetic Overcurrent Circuit Breakers

Our hydraulic-magnetic overcurrent circuit breakers feature magnetic or hydraulic-magnetic trip mechanisms for quick response and physical contact isolation. In the event of a short circuit or low overloads, the magnetic trip disconnects the faulty circuit almost immediately. Our models also feature hydraulically delayed switching characteristics that are suitable for specific applications. Hydraulic-magnetic overcurrent circuit breakers are widely used for protection against the short-circuit of printed circuit boards, semi-conductors and telecommunications equipment. Please see our website for further information.



High Performance Circuit Breakers and Battery Isolation Switches

We supply a wide range of high performance circuit breakers and battery isolation switches that are widely used to protect against overcurrent and short circuit in aircraft, vehicles and equipment where safety is critical. Features of these circuit breakers include thermal or thermal-magnetic trip, a high rupture capacity, and all products provide genuine physical contact isolation. Our battery isolation switches are widely used for installation in main battery systems of heavy duty vehicles and equipment including tankers, boats, and off-road plant. Further information and images of our complete range is available on our website. If you require further advice and information, please contact us at E-T-A Circuit Breakers where we will be happy to help.



Electronic Overcurrent Protection

Please take a look at our website to view various high quality products and systems for electronic overcurrent protection. Electronic overcurrent protection is designed to prevent short term voltage dips of switch mode power supplies to values below 18V in the event of short circuit or overload in the load circuit. Various models also include current-limited switch-on loads with high input capacities without increasing the current ratings as well as failure signalling. Electronic overcurrent protection is used largely for protecting equipment components in industrial applications and supply lines that are fed by a DC24V switch-mode power supply. Please contact us at E-T-A Circuit Breakers for further information.



PowerPlex® Digital Switching System

The PowerPlex® Digital Switching System is a decentralised user configuration power distribution system optimised for marine applications based on CAN-Bus technology (SAE J1939). It combines the look of conventional technology with modern digital processing to provide extensive diagnosis, monitoring and control functions. Benefits to boat owners also include an electrical system that integrates features such as alarms and remote controls. Powerplex technology features a number of modules that are distributed on the boat to connect loads, switches and sensors. Components communicate via a CAN bus system and each module has a separate micro-processor. 



Relays

We supply a range of high quality, reliable relays. These are ideally suited as electronic replacements for electro-mechanical switching and control components for reliable switching of solenoids in pneumatic, hydraulic equipment and rail vehicles, cable protection in industrial plants (rolling mills etc), and more. They are also suitable for connection to PLCs as switching amplifiers with failure indication and overcurrent protection. Please visit our website to view images and to download datasheets for our complete range of relays.
