High-Speed DC Circuit-Breaker for Fixed Installation Type UR26, UR36 & UR40 C O M P O N E N T S
The UR26, UR36 & UR40 are DC high-speed current limiting air Circuit-Breakers, trip free, single pole, bi-directional, with electromagnetic blow-out, electric control circuits and series direct instantaneous over-current release. Their simple design and high insulation level combined with their compliance to both standards EN50123/IEC61992 for Fixed Installations and EN/IEC60077 for Rolling Stock (more severe for what concerns the mechanical endurance and the vibrations & shocks), guarantee to the UR26, UR36 & UR40 range a very high reliability and an exceptionally long life time. With its proven worldwide experience and acceptance, Sécheron's range of Circuit-Breakers offers you the key product for such a strategic and critical application that is to guarantee the highest safety to your equipment as well as to the people operating it and using it.

Opening time t l t l Relationship between opening time t l and the initial rate of rise of current di/dt for direct instantaneous over-current release. Example for an initial rate of rise of current of 3. 10 6 A/s: the opening time is about 3.5 ms for UR26 and about 4.7 ms for UR36 and UR40. Remark: for a shorter opening time the indirect release option can be used (refer to option section).
