A full range of approved miniature circuit breakers, offering protection against overload and short circuit in electric conductors, is available from Zest WEG Group. The WEG MDW and MDWH miniature circuit-breaker line comply with the tripping characteristic curves B and C, according to standards IEC 60898 and IEC 60947-2.

These miniature circuit breakers have been developed to be used in low voltage circuits with direct or alternating current from 2 to 125 A and short circuit breaking capacity up to 10 kA. The full range includes all accessories in both 5 kA and 10 kA, making it possible for the Zest WEG Group to supply customers with complete solutions for specific projects.

All the circuit breakers can be used in both commercial and domestic applications.
