What is a Circuit Breaker?

A Circuit Breaker is a device with means other than fuses for automatically opening the circuit in which it is installed when the current varies from the predetermined value for which the device is set. May include provisions for manual operation. At least one set of contacts must be in series with the actuating element(s). A combination of semiconductor and passive devices may be used in lieu of contacts. For automatically operated items in which the actuating (tripping) element and contacts are not in series, see RELAY (as modified). For items which are operated both manually and automatically but the actuating elements and contact are not in series, see RELAY-SWITCH. Excludes CIRCUIT BREAKER BOX and magneto "breaker" assemblies. See also SWITCH (as modified); and CONTROLLER.

What is a Circuit Breaker Box?

A Circuit Breaker Box is an enclosure which includes, mounts, and protects one or more circuit breakers. It is designed for and may include a cover and such accessories as mounting hardware, brackets, and conduit fittings. May include terminal boards and/or bus conductors used as a convenience for terminating the circuit breakers. May include handle tie bars. It is usually used as a load center for the protection of certain electrical devices such as water heaters, motors, etc., or as a service center for homes or offices. For boxes which include only switches, jacks, fuseholders, terminals and/or terminal boards or fuseholders, or any combination of these devices, see SWITCH BOX; JACK BOX; TERMINAL BOX; and DISTRIBUTION BOX. For boxes designed to mount and protect but do not include circuit breakers, see CIRCUIT BREAKER BOX SUBASSEMBLY. See also INTERCONNECTING CABINET; PANEL, POWER DISTRIBUTION; JUNCTION BOX; and CABINET, ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT.

NATO Supply Class 5925 is specifically designated for circuit breakers. Circuit breakers are devices used to protect electrical circuits from overloads or short circuits by interrupting the flow of current. They are essential components in electrical systems to ensure the safety and proper functioning of equipment.

Circuit breakers in this supply class are categorized based on their specific characteristics, such as voltage rating, current rating, and trip characteristics. These characteristics determine the circuit breaker's ability to handle different electrical loads and respond to different fault conditions.

NATO Supply Group 59 encompasses electrical and electronic equipment components. This group includes a wide range of items used in electrical and electronic systems, such as connectors, switches, relays, resistors, capacitors, and more. Circuit breakers, as part of this group, play a crucial role in protecting these systems from damage caused by excessive current or faults.

When procuring circuit breakers or other electrical and electronic equipment components within NATO, it is important to refer to the NATO Supply Classification System (NSCS). The NSCS provides a standardized classification system to facilitate procurement, logistics, and inventory management within NATO member countries.

By using the NATO Supply Class 5925 for circuit breakers, you can ensure that you are sourcing the appropriate equipment for your electrical systems within the NATO framework.
