Before selecting an alternative, confirm its dimensions, terminals and installation requirements in the manufacturer documentation.
Where it sits in the control system
The 140M-C2E-C10 is the device-level element in an Allen-Bradley circuit breaker installation. It receives the field signals and control supply listed above — <= 440 V AC — and switches or conditions the load within the <= 440 V AC ratings shown in the Specifications table. Wiring and protective devices are sized to those same numbers, not to a generic assumption.
Typical installations place it in distribution boards, motor protection circuits, panel feeders, where the unit is matched to the original catalog number and the enclosure provides 35 mm DIN rail (IEC 60715) support. Record the catalog number and revision from the nameplate of the installed unit before specifying a like-for-like spare.
Selection notes for Allen-Bradley 140M-C2E-C10
Allen-Bradley 140M-C2E-C10 — Circuit breaker providing branch-circuit overload and short-circuit protection in distribution boards and panel feeders. The figures below are taken from the specification table on this page for catalog number 140M-C2E-C10; always cross-check the catalog number and hardware revision on the nameplate before placing an order.
- Tripping characteristic: B / C / D (IEC 60947-2) — Match it to the existing panel and upstream protection.
- Number of poles: 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 (IEC 60947-2) — Record it with the other nameplate data when sourcing a replacement.
- Rated insulation voltage Ui: 440 V (IEC 60947-2) — Confirm the revision of the installed unit before a like-for-like replacement.
- Certifications: CE, UL, cULus — Use it as the reference when cross-checking a current-production equivalent.
For a discontinued unit, match function and electrical ratings rather than the label alone.
Common questions about 140M-C2E-C10
Q.Which value is published under rated insulation voltage Ui for catalog number 140M-C2E-C10?
