Schneider Electric GB2CB10 Circuit Protector 5A 1P

Product Description

The SCHNEIDER ELECTRIC GB2CB10 is a 1-pole, 5-amp circuit protector designed for DIN rail mounting in industrial control panels, machine tool enclosures, and equipment protection applications. It uses a thermal-magnetic trip mechanism that responds to both sustained overloads and instantaneous short-circuit faults, providing dual-mode protection for downstream control circuits and components. The toggle-switch reset actuator allows manual reset directly on the unit after a trip event. At 0.6 inches high, 3 inches wide, and 2.9 inches in length, it occupies minimal panel space while delivering rated breaking capacity appropriate for branch circuit and feeder protection in low-voltage control systems.

This circuit protector is suited for residential and commercial panel builds, industrial automation enclosures, and OEM equipment where individual circuit protection at 5 amps is required. It mounts via clip or backplate onto standard DIN rail, making it compatible with typical modular panel layouts used by licensed electricians and controls integrators. It is well-suited for protecting PLCs, control transformers, instrumentation circuits, and other sensitive single-pole loads that require reliable overcurrent protection.

Key Features

• Thermal-magnetic trip mechanism provides overload and short-circuit protection in a single device
• 5-amp rated current for low-voltage branch circuit and control circuit protection
• 1-pole configuration for single-phase or DC circuit applications
• DIN rail clip mount and backplate mounting options for flexible panel installation
• Toggle-switch reset actuator enables quick manual reset after a trip event
• Compact footprint at 0.6 inches high, 3 inches wide, and 2.9 inches in length

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation circuit protector for standard DIN rail control panel assemblies requiring single-pole, 5-amp thermal-magnetic overcurrent protection.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with applicable NEC requirements for branch circuit and control circuit protection. De-energize the panel and verify absence of voltage before mounting or wiring the device. Secure the unit firmly onto the DIN rail using the integral clip before making load-side and line-side connections. Do not exceed the rated 5-amp continuous current on the protected circuit.
