GHQRDEL Emergency Controllable Circuit Breakers BABRSP Controllable Circuit Breakers

GHQRDEL controllable circuit breakers are designed to meet
NEC 700.12(F) for sources of power in unit equipment used for
emergency lighting applications.
Pow-R-Command GHQRDEL emergency lighting controllable
circuit breaker is a simple low-cost device used to switch
emergency lighting off when the space is unoccupied while
maintaining power to the emergency detection circuit. This
two-pole controllable circuit breaker includes a solenoid
operated controllable pole and manually operated pole. Circuit
breaker features also include handle-tie for common disconnect
and internal common trip mechanism. GHQRDEL includes one
phase connection to comply with the 2010 National Electrical
Code; Section 700.12(F) for Sources of Power utilized in
emergency lighting applications.
