Issue:
What is the different between a thermal/mag breaker and a mag only motor circuit protector?

Product Line:
Molded Case Circuit Breakers

Resolution:
The thermal/mag has both thermal (for overload trip) and magnetic (for inrush/instantaneous trip) elements. This is used primarily for conductor protection. The mag only does not have thermal protection and is mainly used for motor protection.
