i. SCOPE
k.
a. Circutt breakers covered by W-C-375 have not been tncluded In this standard
because that specification includes devices too numerous to cover by
specifjcatjon sheets; therefore, a listing fn this standard would be
somewhat incomplete and misleading. However, the specification sheets of
U-C-375 should be considered ffrst when making a choice of a branch and
entry type cfrcuit breaker.
b. The large shipboard type circuit breakers (900 throug~ 6400 amDere frames)
under MIL-C-17587 have been removed from the selection guide in this
standard due to their lfmited usage and numerous variations. For coverage
of these circuit breakers, see MIL-C-17587.

specfffcatfons and standards are generally avaflable for reference from Ifbrarfes.
They are also distributed among technical groups and usfng Federal agencies.

4.1 Criteria
—. for inclusion in this
-——. standard.
—-—-. -
4.2 Lists of standard circuit breakers. Table I included $erein lists the
applicable speclf icatlon number for all c~rcuit breakers approved as standard for use
fn the design and manufacture of military equipment. (Complete detailed requirements
for circuit breakers listed in this standard are covered in the applicable
specification, specification sheet, or ‘~s drawing, see 1.2 for standard circ~Jit
breakers not listed in table I).
4.5 Selection of circuit breakers. Circuit breaker types s$all be selected f-ol
the types 1 isted in thi s standard. l’he variety of circuit breakers used in any
military equipment shall be the minimum necessary to provide satisfactory
performance, and the contractor (or hardware designer/builder) shall exercise all
reasonable design choices to achieve this objective. The followinq are some
considerations in choosing the correct circuit breaker for a particular application.
2. What is the initial start-up current of the equipment and what is its
duration
1
J
MIL-SID-1498B
1. The rated voltage of the breaker should not be exceeded by the normal
system working voltage.
9* Permit restoration of servfce after fault has been corrected: The abflity of
a breaker to be returned to the “on state” (recYc~e time) should be withfn
the time allowed for the application. Normally a magnetic circuit breaker
will have a shorter recycle tfme than a thermal or thermal magnetic breaker.
4.6 TriD-free versus non triD-free and automatic reset oDeration. The
prepond%=-~~; t breaker appllcati ons requires the use o- rip-free breakers
however, applications do exist that require a breaker that can be overridden even to
its own destruction to complete a missfon. Such missions may include such things as
propeller feathering and control cfrcuits, escape hatch releases, etc. Automatic
reset circuit breakers have been used in such military applications as jeeps, tanks,
personnel carriers, lightfng circuits, turret stabilizers, wiring harnesses, etc.
4.7 Circuit a The equipment shall be designed so that it wfll meet the
specifi~~-ment ~ per ormance and relfahility requirements when using any circuft
breaker meeting the applicable specification requirements. The use of-the standard
clrcult breaker or the satisfactory equipment performance shall not depend on
cfiaracteristics or parameters which are not controlled by the applicable
specification, specification sheet, or !4S drawing.

5.1 Standard Items offered for selection. The basic style, three dimensional
drawings, maximum d imensions and many Important characteristics for selecting the
most appropriate clrcult breaker for the application are given in table I an4 figure
1, (also see 1.2). final selectfon should be made from the applicable specification,
specification sheet, or MS drawing.

6. NOTES
6.2 Procedure for inquiring about c$rcult breakers not listed herein. Uhen a
contractor has determined hat equipment or system requirements cannot be met by
devices listed herefn, he Is encouraged to contact the Mflftary Parts Control
Advisory Group (!iPCAG) at the Defense Electronics Supply Center (telephone
513-296-6131) for advfce on the use of any circuit breaker not identified herein or
ff standardization action 4s underway to cover a circuit breaker havfng the required
charactertstlcs. Such contact may provfde a recommendation for use of an alternate
item which is less objectionable from the 000 viewpoint.
