Issue:
Do circuit breakers have a flame or fire rating? Can they be exposed to flames, and still used afterwards?
Product Line:
Circuit Breakers
Resolution:
Circuit breakers themselves do not have a specific flame rating or fire rating. They do, however, have a temperature range for storage and operation (carrying load). If a circuit breaker is exposed to flames, the temperature would be far above that of the storage or operating range, and the breaker should be replaced.
