These breakers come in two versions — one with magnetic trip element for short-circuit protection and the other with thermal and magnetic trip elements for overload and short-circuit protection. They can be used by themselves as manual motor controllers, and they also work well with Series 300 contactors in group motor installations. An ON/OFF manual operator makes it easy to isolate motor circuits without disconnecting all of a control panel's circuits. They have visual trip indicators for easy spotting of tripped circuits, and a test function for verifying device performance and proper control circuit operation. They have a modular design and come with accessories such as auxiliary contacts, shunt and undervoltage release modules, and wiring accessories. They come in universal ratings and markings: A, kW and HP ratings, plus applicable third-party certification markings.

Thanks to embedded electronics, medical devices are getting smaller and smarter than ever. Pacemakers and implantable defibrillators are now able to call physicians. MRIs, CT scanners, and ultrasound machines are gaining mobility. And the venerable Band-Aid may soon be able to detect illnesses ranging from fevers to heart arrhythmias. On February 21, join Design News senior editor Charles Murray for a wide-ranging discussion, "Embedded Angles for Medical Products," which will explore the latest developments in medical electronics. The discussion will examine advances in medical device technology and offer an inside look at the embedded electronics behind it.
