- 65 to 85KAIC @ 480VAC (HWU Series)
- Standardization of accessory parts
- Internal accessories (excluding UVT) can be field mounted (cassette type)
- Designed for easy use
- Expansion of the installation and connection types for all applications
- Line: busbar / load: busbar
- Line: terminal lug / load: terminal lug
- Line: terminal lug / load: busbar
- Line: busbar / load: terminal lug
- Interlocking handles are interchangeable between the old style WSS and new style WS-V
- F Type (direct mount to breaker)
- V Type (door installation)
- Compliance with international standards
As part of Mitsubishi Electric’s eco-friendly initiative, the circuit breakers are made of thermo-plastic material that has been branded with material identifications for easy recycling. All Mitsubishi Electric circuit breakers comply with RoHS regulations.
