Terminal with locking bar:
A B C
The design is based on the fact that each terminal has so-called „flat locking bar“ in its bottom section. When tightening the screw, this bar occurs step by step at the inlet hole and closes the space under the terminal. So it avoids the conductor to be put-in under the terminal clip where it cannot be interconnected with the inlet or outlet from the MCB.
The clip terminals have cross grooves at the bottom section – those grooves avoid the conductor to be drawn-half out from the terminal because after being tightened, the conductor „sinks“ into the grooves; in addition, the transfer surface is extended and the contact resistances are limited essentially.
This is an unique solution which helps to avoid problems in case when the terminal cannot be seen during installation. This principle excludes the possibility to place the conductor under the terminal. In this way, frequent (latent) claim defects can be avoided. Such defects occurred mostly at the end user and the switchboard manufacturers had to bear additional expenses for „simple“ removal of such defects.
This solution avoids claims, makes assembling faster and increases reliability.

Even if the cover plate of a switchboard has been removed, you can still see which circuit is protected by the MCB.
Each pole is equipped with an aesthetic transparent swing cover placed above the switching-off lever. Under that cover, there is a paper two-line inscription label put into slots. It is also possible to write on the plastic surface. The cover has an arrestment in the upper open position.

The installation instructions can always be easily seen.
The places have been selected so that it would be possible to use the upper labeled facet, when the MCB is installed below the eye level; when installed above the eye level, it is suitable to use the bottom labeled facet.
You can download templates of installation labels to edit & print.
There is more space for connecting the conductors on the switchboard.
As to the available information, because of their extraordinary short dimensions (especially the width of only 81 mm), our P-E-P MCB´s are classified as among the smallest MCB´s over the world in the category of short-circuit resistance up to 10 kA. In the category of 15 kA, we have the shortest dimensions worldwide (see the dimensioned chart).
Thus there is more space for conducting and connecting the conductors in the installation section which is covered at a switchboard. This property can be appreciated especially when using these MCB´s at small apartment switchboards.
There is no gaping of the MCB casing or cross threading of the terminal in the casing.
It is avoided on the MCB´s BONEGA® P-E-P by means of:
No problem in assembling to an old breaker box.
How to do it:
The connection created in such a way is unusually strong.
When tightening the terminals, the MCB on a DIN strip will be straight.
The high stability has been reached by a plastic stop on the MCB bottom. After attachment of the MCB to a DIN strip, this stop functions as the “contra-pressure” (with the torsional stress of the MCB´s body). In contrast to the competitors, the movable pawl has only the holding function.
The other hand does not have to engage itself with “pre-stressing” of the MCB and can concentrate only to hold the conductor to be connected. This measure accelerates the installation and makes is easier.
You can choose any system to interconnect the terminals.
For the P-E-P miniature circuit breakers you can use both the forked and the reed (rack) standardized interconnecting strips. The opinions of application of those two types differ.
The strips are supplied either with the cross-sections of 16 mm2 or 10 mm2, always with insulating material made of self-extinguishing ABS-VO. The copper contacts (reeds) are located closed at the strip edges. See our offer of MCB´s accessories.
The single-pole MCB´s can be interconnected also in the so-called “German” way, i.e. with a special strip without any insulation. When accepting this method, it is necessary to break off both barriers against the inter-phase short-circuit (see protection against an inter-phase short-circuit).
A possibility to connect the input as needed.
Input or output can be connected both onto the upper and lower terminals without impairing the function of the miniature circuit breaker in any way. Through this advantage, the mounting is easier and the distribution arrangements at the switchboards can be variable.
You will appreciate it especially in the switchboards with a multi-row arrangement – you can connect the input between two rows (saving of conductors and time)
Designed to accept a large conductor.
The cross-section 35 mm2 for solid conductor and the cross-section 25 mm2 for stranded conductor is stated for the range up to ln 63 A. The geometric cross-section of the terminal, however, is 50 mm2. You will appreciate the terminal cross-section of 35 mm 2 with all nominal values, when mounting any bigger cross-sections of the conductors which must be dimensioned for higher power inputs.
You do not need to solve such problems by means of additional terminals on which the contact resistances could occur.
Impossible to strip the threads even with excessive stress.
The movable terminal has been made of one piece. In contrast to other MCB´s, the joint has been solved by means of an overlapping and not by a so-called “puzzle joint”. Through this overlapping, there goes a screw. It has a double thread length available, which restricts the breaks – “stripping” the thread essentially. The possibility to break it when being mounted is fully excluded even if the torsional stress allowed by the standard is exceeded. (more than 2 N.m)
The clip terminals themselves have in their bottom part also the cross grooves which avoid the conductor to be taken out from the terminal (after being drawn up, the conductor sinks into the grooves). Simultaneously, the contact resistances are limited. (because of the enlargement of the transmission area the burning of the conductors is not possible).
The junction of a conductor and a MCB is very rigid and reliable.
The BONEGA® P-E-P MCB´s cannot be locked from the outside.
red I - ON
green O - OFF
This property protects the electro installation companies against claims, which are caused by the end user, who can be proved wrong with difficulties.
As the most products, also the MCB´s BONEGA® P-E-P has an indication of the contact conditions. That indicates a real contact condition and not only a position of the switch-on lever. In case of “sintered” contacts and switched-off lever, the user is clearly informed about flowing current. As the only ones, our MCB´s have that indication covered with a transparent plastic sight-glass with a lens (magnifying) effect.
Reasons:
Because the indication is closely connected with a movable contact, it happens on other MCB´s that the movable contact is locked through the indication by means of a toothpick or a matchstick; thus the complete thermal and short-circuit protection of a MCB is out of function. It is not possible to do that on the MCB BONEGA® P-E-P, just because of that transparent sight-glass
Dust protection
The MCB is equipped with a colored indication of contact condition, which is independent on the lever position, and it depends just on the real contact condition. In addition, this indication is protected against dust penetration into the MCB by a transparent plastic cover with magnifying effect.
The philosophy of the colored indication ON/OFF is explained within frequent questions.
A fast connection of the accessories.
The numerous accessories can be linked-up from both sides of the MCB. The interconnection with the MCB is done as follows:
The miniature circuit breakers can be linked-up with many accessories. (low-volt releases, ejecting coils, auxiliary contacts, etc.)
All those elements extend the application of the MCB by overvoltage or undervoltage protection, control, regulation, remote control, remote indication of switch-on and switch-off positions of the circuit breaker, programming and measurement. Those combinations enable the circuit breakers to be applied in the range of control of the complicated automated processes.
These elements can be mutually interconnected (e.g. MCB + undervoltage release + auxiliary indicating contact etc.), thus they can form different combinations.
No need to buy any expensive combined devices elsewhere.
The height of the MCB terminals corresponds to other electrical devices BONEGA® , such as current protectors, modular switches etc. the mutual interconnection enables to form combined devices.
For example, the combination of the MCB 1P + N along with a double-pole protective switch or the MCB 3P + N along with a four-pole current protective switches (see protective switches ). This interconnection can be reached easily by means of a 2P or 4P interconnecting strip (see accessories to the MCB´s).
You need not dismantle the interconnecting strip.
Other advantages of this solution:
Construction of the cover eliminates electrical current injury caused by touching the circuit breaker.
All locking bars are protected against danger touch and penetration of small foreign objects (IP protection 20).
The screws on the clip terminals are kept from falling out of the circuit-breaker body by our unique design.
The clip terminals are seated in the circuit-breaker casing so that the screws of the terminals cannot fall out from the circuit-breaker body, even if they are fully unscrewed from the terminal. This advantage has been reached because the diameter of the hole at the plastic box (casing) for a screwdriver is less than the diameter of the screw head. The screw head has been modified both for cross and flat screwdrivers.
Quick installation and release.
The fastening mechanism with a movable pawl enables, as follows:
a) the MCB can be fastened to the DIN strip by a simple “snapping”
Move the pawl from the B position into the A position (the production position), if is has not been done yet.
Suspend the MCB in the upper on a projection on the DIN strip’s upper part and snap it on the DIN strip’s bottom part with a swinging motion.
b) the fast dismantling from the DIN strip
1 2 3
From the fixed condition in the position 3, move the pawl to the Pos. 1 by means of e.g. screwdriver, which is to be put through the pawl hole and to be drawn-half out.
The pawl keeps arrested in the Pos. 1 and the screwdriver can be removed.
Now remove from the DIN strip.
You will appreciate this advantage especially when erecting the multi-pole MCB´s when you need just one instrument because the pawls can be drawn-half to the final arresting positions (position 1). With other MCB´s you have to use e.g. two screwdrivers and to take out the MCB from the DIN strip simultaneously. The installation is essentially easier and faster with the MCB´s BONEGA® P-E-P.
Attaching to a DIN strip with a different thickness.
The MCB is intended to be attached onto the DIN strip EN 50 022 (width - 35 mm, thickness 0,8 - 2 mm). At European market, there are DIN strips with higher dimension tolerances available. Our variable design of the pawl has been fitted to those strips. It can correspond with less exact performance of the DIN strips.
Extended mechanical reliability of the multi-module design.
Strength:
The colored levers improve the transparency and comply with the requirements of power plants.
We supply both colored levers and black levers in accordance with the nominal current values (corresponding to the marking of turn fuses).
The ability to seal the lever in an ON or OFF position.
If the lever is sealed in the ON position, the immobility does not render the function of the circuit breaker impossible. In the event of short-circuit or overload, the circuit will be shutdown (independently on the fixed position of the lever). The MCB case enables the lever to be sealed independently on placing the adjacent MCB´s.
You'll think it's not even on ...
The most excellent and balanced design of a switching mechanism. Extremely easy running when switching-on the lever even in case of multi-pole models.
