IEG1-36072-4-V

Circuit breakers are essential components of most electrical systems and are used to protect wiring and components from damage due to excessive current. They are also used to protect people from electric shock by tripping the circuit when a dangerous current is encountered. The IEG1-36072-4-V circuit breaker is just one example of this type of protection device.

The IEG1-36072-4-V is classified as a medium-voltage circuit breaker. It is designed for medium voltage applications, ranging from 400V to 38kV. It has a continuous current rating of 400A and an interrupting current rating of 12kA. The breaker is designed to be mounted in a cabinet or on a frame, and it is also suitable for outdoor applications.

The working principle of a circuit breaker is quite simple. When an excessive current passes through the circuit, it causes the breaker to trip and open the circuit. This prevents any further current from flowing and protects the wiring and components from damage. The IEG1-36072-4-V uses a thermal mechanism to trip the breaker when the current increases above normal levels. It also has a current limiting feature which reduces the current flow and limits the amount of energy that is released in the event of an overcurrent.

The IEG1-36072-4-V circuit breaker is suitable for a wide range of applications including industrial control, power distribution, HVAC, and other similar applications. It is designed for use in hazardous locations, and it is certified for use in safety-critical applications. The breaker is designed to be reliable and durable, and it is capable of interrupting higher levels of current.

In summary, the IEG1-36072-4-V circuit breaker is a reliable and durable protection device. It is designed for use in challenging medium-voltage applications and is suitable for a wide range of electrical systems. The breaker utilizes a thermal mechanism to trip the circuit when an excessive current is detected, and it also features a current limiting function to reduce the amount of energy released in the event of an overcurrent.
