Bulletin 1492-MC Thermal Magnetic Description
Thermal Magnetic Circuit Breakers
Bulletin 1492-MC Circuit Breakers for Branch Circuit protection are
available in one (1)-, two (2)-, and three (3)-pole construction in
120/240 volt rating, 240 volt rating and as one (1)-pole and two (2)-
pole devices in 480/277 volt rating. Versions are available as Ground
Fault Circuit Interrupters and as Ground Fault Equipment Protectors.
Circuit Frequency
6
Bul. 1492-MC circuit breakers may be applied to frequencies from
DC up to 60 Hz without derating. For applications above 60…400
Hz, contact Rockwell Automation with specific application
information for the derating of the circuit breakers.

Available Short Circuit Current
The 1492-MC product line consists of Thermal Magnetic Circuit
Breakers and Ground Fault Sensing Breakers that are designed,
manufactured, and certified to North American standards, UL 489,
UL 943, UL1093, and the equivalent CSA standards, CSA 22.2 No.
5.1, 22.2 No. 144.
Bul. 1492-MC Thermal Magnetic Circuit Breakers are general-
purpose devices suitable for the majority of industrial, inverse time
circuit breaker applications.
Bul. 1492-MC circuit breakers should only be applied in those
applications in which the available short-circuit (or fault) current is
less than or equal to the interrupting rating shown in the Voltage and
Interrupting Ratings table.

They combine thermal and magnetic trip actions and provide
accurate overload and short-circuit protection for conductors and
connected equipment.
