E-T-A Circuit Breakers is pleased to announce
the availability of remote ON/OFF actuation for its
award winning 8345 hydraulic-magnetic circuit
breaker.  The 8345, in combination with this
motor-driven remote switch module, provides
remote ON/OFF and reset functionality as well as overcurrent protection all in one unit.  This allows operation of  the circuit breaker from any location
in a system, facility, or site without sacrificing the
ability to manually operate the breaker if required. 
Service, diagnostics, load shedding and power
distribution control functions can now be
performed in areas that were previously
unattended or inaccessible.

The remote ON/OFF capability is available in
8345 configurations up to 3 poles and current
ratings of 0.1A to 125A per pole at up to 480
VAC or 110 VDC.  Synchronization of the
actuatorsthrough remote switching may take
more than one cycle depending on the last
remote input status.  The addition of an optional auxiliary contact provides remote indication of
circuit breaker status.
