Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The 3E60UM circuit breaker has three parametric equivalents within the Altech V-EA series: 3B60UM, 3C60UM, and 3G60UM. These parts are classified as substitutes based on identical alignment across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters:

Substitution Criteria:

• Current Rating: 60A (all parts)
• Voltage Rating - AC: 480V (all parts)
• Voltage Rating - DC: 60V (all parts)
• Number of Poles: 3 (all parts)
• Breaker Type: Thermal Magnetic (all parts)
• Actuator Type: Lever (all parts)
• Mounting Type: DIN Rail (all parts)
• Approval Agency: CSA, UL508 (all parts)
• Series: V-EA (all parts)
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant (all parts)

The designations E, B, C, and G represent thermal-magnetic trip characteristic variants within the same product family. All variants maintain identical form factor, electrical ratings, and regulatory compliance.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All four circuit breaker models (3E60UM, 3B60UM, 3C60UM, 3G60UM) are Active products with identical electrical specifications, mechanical form factors, and regulatory certifications. Selection among these equivalents may be based on:

• Inventory availability: 3C60UM maintains the highest stock level at 1022 units
• Supply chain lead times and procurement schedules
• Thermal-magnetic trip characteristic requirements specific to application load profiles
• Existing component standardization within system designs

All parts carry ROHS3 compliance and CSA/UL508 approval, confirming suitability for industrial control and distribution applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are 3E60UM, 3B60UM, 3C60UM, and 3G60UM fully interchangeable?

A: Yes. These parts share identical electrical ratings (60A, 480V AC, 60V DC), mechanical specifications (3-pole, lever actuated, DIN rail mounted), and regulatory approvals (CSA, UL508). The letter designations (E, B, C, G) indicate thermal-magnetic trip characteristic variants. Substitution is valid when trip characteristics are compatible with application requirements.

Q: What is the difference between the E, B, C, and G designations?

A: These designations represent different thermal-magnetic trip characteristic curves within the V-EA series. The specific trip curves are not detailed in the provided specifications. Application requirements determine which characteristic is appropriate for a given installation.

Q: Can I substitute these parts in existing installations?

A: Substitution is permissible provided the thermal-magnetic trip characteristic of the replacement part aligns with the original design specifications and application load profile.

Q: Are all parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All four part numbers (3E60UM, 3B60UM, 3C60UM, 3G60UM) are ROHS3 compliant and carry identical regulatory certifications.

Q: What is the packaging format?

A: All parts are supplied in Bulk packaging.
