Does this exist somewhere?
The application is for a small water heater that would have a plastic tank with a cartridge heater insert; as such a surface mount manual reset thermostat is not the best option as a safety feature due to the slow thermal transfer rates through the material. So instead, I figured I could use a normal probe thermostat with shunt trip breaker for the manual reset button, allowing whichever faulty component (cartridge heater, control thermostat, etc) was responsible for the overheat to be replaced before the circuit is manually reset. The idea basically being that an open on rise probe thermostat could trigger the shunt of the breaker and cut power to the heater circuit.
However, after searching through Newark and several other supplier websites, I have been able to find no such breaker in a sub-miniature sizing. I could think of several other potential uses for a sub-mini shunt trip breaker, however, so I figured I would ask to see if anyone would know where to look for one.
Thanks!
