Product Overview

What This Model Does

The HTM6, HTM6LY, HTM6RT, HTM6E and HTM6EL series of moulded case circuit breakers are newly upgraded devices developed by Hunter Group Co., Ltd. They are designed for AC 50Hz distribution systems with a rated working voltage of 690V and a rated current range from 10A to 800A. These breakers provide protection against overload, short circuit, and undervoltage, and can also handle infrequent motor starting. The STM6DC series is the DC version, suitable for DC systems up to 1000V and rated current 10A to 800A. Both series are built to IEC60947-2 and GB14048.2, feature a compact size, high breaking capacity, and short arc flashover. They can be installed vertically or horizontally, with wiring from top or bottom, and are polarity-free for DC models.

Key Benefits

  • Protects circuits and equipment against overload, short circuit, and undervoltage in AC and DC systems
  • High breaking capacity with current-limiting technology reduces peak short-circuit current and I2t energy
  • Compact design allows space-saving installation in distribution boards and control cabinets
  • U-shaped static contact enables pre-breaking technology, improving arc extinction and reducing damage
  • Supports top and bottom wiring, and polarity-free connection for DC models
  • Can be used for infrequent motor starting and protection without additional components

Who It Is For

  • Electrical wholesalers supplying industrial and commercial distribution equipment
  • Panel builders integrating MCCBs into control cabinets and switchgear assemblies
  • Solar EPC contractors installing DC distribution systems with high voltage and current
  • Manufacturers of industrial machinery needing reliable circuit protection
  • OEM/ODM buyers sourcing MCCBs for branded distribution or control systems

Problems It Solves

  • A conventional breaker fails to limit short-circuit current, leading to higher energy release and equipment damage
  • Lack of space in control cabinets prevents installation of multiple protection devices
  • DC systems require polarity-free breakers to simplify wiring and reduce installation errors
  • Motor startup causes repeated tripping without proper protection and control
  • Inadequate breaking capacity leads to arc flash and safety risks in high-current circuits

Application Scenarios

  • Industrial control panels where space is limited and high breaking capacity is required
  • Commercial buildings with AC 50Hz distribution systems needing reliable overload and short-circuit protection
  • Solar power systems using DC distribution with voltages up to 1000V and currents up to 800A
  • Factories and plants requiring motor protection during infrequent startup operations
  • Electrical distribution boards where multiple breakers are installed in tight spaces

Use Guide

  1. Mount the breaker on a DIN rail or panel using the provided mounting hardware
  2. Connect the power supply to the top or bottom terminals as required, ensuring correct polarity for DC models
  3. Verify all connections are tight and terminals are secured
  4. Perform a manual operation to ensure the breaker moves freely and latches properly
  5. Test the trip function under load to confirm correct operation
  6. Install auxiliary components such as shunt release or undervoltage release if required
  7. Label the breaker and document its settings for future maintenance
