breaker provides low-cost power
switching, reliable circuit protec-
tion and accurate circuit control 
in one complete package. It is
intended for use in data processing
and broadcast equipment, vending
and amusement machines, military
and marine applications, and
wherever precision operation
is required.

wide variety of configurations 
with a choice of delays and ratings.
In addition, it is available in either
DC, 50/60Hz or 400Hz versions.

Available in single or multi-pole

variations, the APG/UPG comes 
with a variety of actuators. To 
enhance front-panel aesthetics,
toggle or rocker actuated handles
and caps are available in a variety
of attractive colors.

Multi-pole circuit breakers can 

be furnished with either single or
multiple actuators. In addition, a
unique sealed, single handle toggle
version for harsh or military
environments is available in single
or multi-pole configurations.

The UPG circuit breaker is 

recognized under UL Standard
1077, file numbers E66410 and
E33504. It is also certified by CSA,
file number LR26229. The APG is
qualified to MIL-PRF-55629.

APG/UPG circuit breakers are 

available in one through four pole
assemblies with a variety of pole
arrangements, terminal styles, and
accessories to meet your specifica-
tions, including APG/UPG adapter
plate option to allow mounting in
APL/UPL cutout.

Two Pole Breakers

An assembly consisting of two single pole units, having their trip
mechanisms internally coupled, and with a single toggle handle,
forms the APG/UPG-11. It is also possible to provide a handle per
pole, which is referred to as UPGH11. Individual poles may differ in
ratings, delays and internal connections. An auxiliary switch may be
included in either or both poles if they are of the series trip type.
Screw-type terminals can be provided, in which case the designation
would be APG/UPG-66.

Note:

Three Pole and Four Pole Breakers

The three pole structure consists of three single pole units assem-
bled with an internal mechanical interlock which actuates all units
simultaneously. A single toggle handle operates all three poles, or
a handle per pole is available. The four pole structure consists of
four single pole units assembled with an internal mechanical
interlock which actuates all units simultaneously. A double toggle
handle operates all four poles, or a handle per pole is available.
The individual poles need not have identical characteristics and 
any series trip pole may have an auxiliary switch. If screw-type
terminals are required, the breaker designation will be APG/UPG-
666 for a three pole version and APG/UPG-6666 for a four 
pole version.

Breaker poles are numbered consecutively when viewed from

the terminal side, with the ON position up, starting with Pole #1
on the left side and proceeding to the right.

APG / UPG / IPG CONFIGURATIONS

Series Trip

The most popular configuration for magnetic protectors
is the series trip where the sensing coil and contacts are
in series with the load being protected. The handle posi-
tion conveniently indicates circuit status. In addition to
providing conventional overcurrent protection, it’s
simultaneously used as an on-off switch.

Shunt Trip

The shunt trip is designed for controlling two separate
loads with one assembly. The control is established by
providing overload protection for the critical load.
When the current through this load becomes excessive
and reaches the trip point, the protector will open and
remove power from both loads simultaneously. The
total current rating of both loads must not exceed the
maximum contact rating.

Relay Trip

This permits the overload sensing coil to be placed in a
circuit which is electrically isolated from the trip contacts.
The coil may be actuated by sensors monitoring pressure,
flow, temperature, speed, etc. Other typical applications
include crowbar, interlock and emergency/rapid 
shutdown circuitry. Trip may be accomplished by 
voltage or current, which must be removed after trip.

Auxiliary Switch

This is furnished as an integral part of a series pole in 
single or multi-pole assemblies. Isolated electrically from
the protector’s circuit, the switch works in unison with the
power contacts and provides indication at a remote 
location of the protector’s on-off status.

Voltage Trip

Sometimes called “dump circuits” or “panic trip circuits,”
these units make it possible to open main power contacts
with lower power inputs from one or more sources. This
configuration is becoming increasingly more important
for sensitive circuitry and denser packaging in automation
systems. Available in series, shunt, or relay configurations.

Inrush Pulse Tolerance

It can be seen that the 64, 65 and 66 delays have a high inrush 
capability and for most applications an inertia wheel would not be
required. Pulse tolerance is defined as a single pulse of half sine wave
peak current amplitude of 8 milliseconds duration that will not trip
the circuit breaker.

50/60Hz Delay Curves (typ)

A choice of delays is offered for DC, 50/60Hz, and 400 Hz 
applications. Delays 40, 50, 60, 49, 59 and 69 provide fast-acting,
instantaneous trip and are often used to protect sensitive electronic
equipment (not recommended where known inrush exists). Delays
41, 51, 61 and 71 have a short delay for general purpose applications.
Delays 42, 52 and 62 are long enough to start certain types of motors
and most transformer and capacitor loads. Delays 43, 53 and 63 are
long delays for special motor applications at 400Hz DC and 50/60Hz.

APG / UPG DECISION TABLES

How to Order

The ordering code for APG/UPG circuit breakers may be
determined by following the steps in the decision tables 
shown here.

The coding given permits a self-assigning part number but

with certain limitations. Units with mixed ratings, combina-
tions of styles, or constructions not listed in the third decision
table, require a factory-assigned part number. With these, it is
suggested that order entry be by description and/or drawings,
and a part number will be established. Additionally, it is 
standard policy to establish a factory-assigned part number
whenever a descriptive drawing exists to provide cross 
reference, traceability and manufacturing control.

When specifying a circuit breaker for AC motor start or high

inrush applications, the peak amplitude and surge duration
should be specified for factory assistance in rating selection.

For example, the following is the code for a single pole UPG,

quick-connect type terminal series unit with auxiliary switch,
designed for operation in a 50/60Hz circuit. It has a short time
delay and a rating of 20 amperes. A white handle is specified by
the seventh decision table.

To determine the ordering number for your particular

APG/UPG unit, simply follow the steps shown. You may use
this number to place an order or as a reference for further
questions you may have.

Notes:
A

It is recommended that power leads be soldered to    
breakers having quick-connect terminals for current   
trip ratings above 10 amperes.

B

The standard current values for 100% of rated 
current are listed. Please consult an Airpax office or   

sales representative for other values.

C

UL recognized and CSA certified applications   
above 30 amperes are restricted to loads having a  
power factor of 75 minimum and limited to 32Vdc    
only. Standard terminals on ratings over 30 amperes  
are 10-32 screw type.

D

Four pole breakers are available only in the  
APGH/UPGH and APG/UPG types. The APGH/   
UPGH four pole provides one handle per pole,
while the APG/UPG four pole has handles in the  
center two poles only, for simplified mounting.

E

Sub panel mount available in APGX/UPGX 
configuration only.

F

When “A” is specified in the sixth decision in 
conjunction with APG/UPG-6 type, metric screw 
terminals are supplied.

G

If a circuit breaker is marked in this manner, it   
means 277V per pole – single phase source. Thus, if
a two or three pole unit is marked 277V, all line 
terminals must be connected to the same phase,
assuming the 277V is taken from line to neutral of
3 phase 277/480V system.

IPG DECISION TABLES

How to Order

The ordering code for IPG circuit breakers may be determined
by following the steps in the decision tables shown here.

The coding given permits a self-assigning part number but

with certain limitations. Units with mixed ratings, combina-
tions of styles, or constructions not listed in the third decision
table, require a factory-assigned part number. With these, it is
suggested that order entry be by description and/or drawings,
and a part number will be established. Additionally, it is 
standard policy to establish a factory-assigned part number
whenever a descriptive drawing exists to provide cross 
reference, traceability and manufacturing control.

When specifying a circuit breaker for AC motor start or high

inrush applications, the peak amplitude and surge duration
should be specified for factory assistance in rating selection.

For example, the following is the code for a single pole IPG,

quick-connect type terminal series unit with auxiliary switch,
designed for operation in a 50/60Hz circuit. It has a short time
delay and a rating of 20 amperes. Metric mounting inserts and
a white handle are also specified.

To determine the ordering number for your particular IPG

unit, simply follow the steps shown. You may use this number
to place an order or as a reference for further questions you
may have.
