Agency Approvals
W28 series is UL 1077 Recognized as Supplementary Protectors, File
E69543, and CSA Accepted as Supplementary Protectors (Appliance
Component Protectors), File LR15734. W28 breakers are VDE
approved for use in office equipment (AC loads only) and provides
8mm isolation. 16 amp and 20 amp models do not have VDE
approvals at present.
Users should thoroughly review the technical data before selecting a product part
number. It is recommended that users also seek out the pertinent approvals files of
the agencies/laboratories and review them to confirm the product meets the
requirements for a given application.
Electrical Data @ 25°C
Calibration: Will continuously carry 100% of rating.
3-20 amp models – may trip between 101% and 134%, but
must trip at 135% of rating within one hour at +25°C.
0.25-2 amp models – may trip between 101% and 174%, but
must trip at 175% of rating within one hour at +25°C.
Dielectric Strength: Over 1,500 volts RMS.
Maximum Operating Voltages: 32VDC; 250VAC, 50/60 Hz.
Interrupt Capacity: 1,000 amps at 250VAC, 50/60 Hz. and 32VDC in
accordance with UL standard 1077.
Resettable Overload Capacity: Six times rated current for 0.25 through
2 amp models. Ten times rated current
for 3 through 20 amp models.
Reset Time: 180 seconds max. for 0.25 through 2 amp models. 5 to 30
seconds for 3 through 20 amp models.

Ambient Temperature In Degrees Centigrade (°C)
To use this chart: Read up from the ambient temper-
ature to the curve, and across to find a correction fac-
tor. Multiply the breaker rating by the correction fac-
tor to determine the compensated rating. Calculate
the overloads in terms of the compensated rating to
use the published trip curve.
Do not use these devices outside their specified
operating temperature ranges.
Dimensions are shown for
