Altech Motor Disconnect Switches

Broadest Circuit Protection Line in the Industry!

Schuster Offers Altech's Expanded Circuit Protection Line...

Altech Circuit Protection

Altech Corporation, the US market leader in UL508 listed Manual Motor Controllers, has expanded its circuit protection product line. Their established line of UL508 listed devices is now being complimented by UL 1077 Recognized Supplementary Protectors, UL 489 listed Miniature Molded Case Circuit Breakers and full size UL489 listed Molded Case Circuit Breakers. The result is the broadest line of circuit protection products in the industry.

  • UL1077 Supplementary Protectors have an industry standard rating of up to 63A/480Y/277V AC
  • UL 489 Miniature Molded Case Circuit Breakers offer the highest electrical rating in the industry with 63A/240V AC and 32A/480Y/277V AC
  • Full size UL489 Molded Case Circuit Breakers come in ratings from 15 to 225A/480V AC and 250 to 600A/600V AC

This wide selection of circuit protection devices gives the circuit design engineer a greater flexibility when laying out the panel. In addition, they provide the most cost effective solution, since they cover most applications with parts specifically designed to meet UL and NEC requirements. For further information, please click here for application examples.

In addition, Altech Busbar system is a cost effective, less work intensive way to distribute power to up to 57 poles of Altech Manual Motor Controllers (MMC)/ Supplementary Protectors.
