1 Scope
This document specifies the three-pole temperature compensated circuit breakers without signal
contacts, rated from 20 A to 50 A and used in aircraft on-board circuits. It describes specific
environmental, electrical and mechanical characteristics and the stringency of tests to be applied
according to test methods of EN 3841-100.
These circuit breakers are intended for use in aircraft with electrical supplies in accordance with
EN 2282.

4 Description
These circuit breakers are operated by a “push-pull” type single push button (actuator) and with
delayed action “trip-free” tripping. Their function is ensured up to the short-circuit current.
5 Design
5.1 Materials
5.1.1 Metallic materials
All metallic parts shall be resistant to corrosion or finished against corrosion. When dissimilar materials
are in close contact, an adequate protection against corrosion shall be used so that the electromotive
force of the galvanic couple does not exceed 0,25 V.
When bimetals are used, an eventual corrosion shall not affect the good operation of the circuit breaker.
5.1.2 Insulation materials
The insulating parts shall be made of auto-extinguishing or non-flammable materials; they shall not
emit damaging or explosive vapours, even in presence of fire or internal electric arc.
They shall be insensitive to moulds and microorganisms action.
Application of any material or protective coating, which might crack, break on flake shall be forbidden.
Materials which are not specified, or which are not specially described shall be as light as possible for
the requested use.
Materials shall be selected according to security criteria (toxicity, smoke density) as defined in
contractual documents.
5.2 Design
5.2.1 Insulating box
The insulating box shall integrate besides the mechanism, the connection and attachment unit.
5.2.2 Free release mechanism
Design of circuit breaker mechanism shall allow free release, i.e. the circuit breaker cuts out in case of
overload, and remains cut out even if the actuator is kept by force in engaged position.
A new engagement of circuit breaker is only possible after a first total release of the control actuator.
The operation in these conditions shall not affect further performances of the circuit breaker.
5.2.3 Attachment
All visible parts shall be black-coloured and non-reflective.
5.2.4 Electrical connection units
They shall be able to receive the lugs.
5.2.5 Control actuator
In engaged position, the visible part of the control actuator shall be of the colour stated in the product
standard. In disengaged (or opened) position, the control actuator shall show a white strip.
The outer part of this actuator shall be isolated from all under voltage parts.
The control actuator shall not stay in a transition position or give a false indication about the circuit
breaker condition. It shall not be removable.
When pushing it, power contacts of the circuit breaker engage.
When pulling it, power contacts of the circuit breaker open.
The circuit breaker rating is indicated in indelible white colour on the front part of the control actuator.
The product standard gives the digits positioning.
5.2.6 Rating inviolability
The circuit breaker shall be designed in such a way that the calibration unit cannot be reached without
breaking a sealing.
5.2.7 Leakage lines
The leakage lines and the minimal space to be foreseen between the under-voltage parts and any other
part of the circuit breaker made of non-insulating material, as well as between the under-voltage parts
of opposite polarity, shall be sufficient to avoid any default or arcing in all uses and climatic conditions.
5.2.8 Protection against non-release
Electrical overload happening on a circuit breaker locked in its engaged position (sticked contacts or
non-operating release mechanism), shall cause the opening of the circuit-by-circuit breaker destruction
without any fire or imp
