When your system involves critical motor loads — conveyors, pumps, HVAC fans, production drives — you need protection that works under load and gives clear isolation when service is required. Kanlux motor protection circuit breakers deliver exactly that: reliable overload and short-circuit protection with manual control, modular format and field-ready durability.
The Kanlux KMP series of motor protection switches is designed for three-phase motor circuits: compact width, DIN-rail mount (TH35), adjustable overload settings (e.g., 0.1-32 A) and instant magnetic trip capability.
These devices combine thermal-bimetal overload protection with magnetic short-circuit tripping in one module — meaning you get full protection for a motor feed in a small footprint. Installers value this because it simplifies panel layouts, spares and service.
For motors and circuits that require both manual start/stop and protection, Kanlux offers thermal-magnetic breakers with manual handles and auxiliary contacts. For example, the KMP-32.0 has rated current up to 32 A and supports 3-phase motors up to ~22 kW at 690 V.
These units allow operators to visibly confirm OFF position, integrate with lock-out/tag-out procedures and provide both protection and operator control in one device.
In many installations, the motor starter must handle the in-rush, deliver overload protection, and still allow manual control for maintenance. Kanlux has this use-case covered. With adjustable trip range, clear markings, and modular additions like auxiliary contacts or shunt/undervoltage releases, you can customise the protection for the specific motor load and control scenario.
Kanlux motor breakers mount on standard DIN-rail (TH35) making them friendly for panel-builders, control cabinets, and switch-gear assemblies. The standard format simplifies expansion or replacement because every unit shares consistent mounting footprint and terminal layout.
Load-break disconnectors from the same platform allow manual isolation under load where required — ideal for maintenance-heavy environments or where service staff need clear isolation before access.
