Circuit Breakers

A circuit breaker is an automatic device designed to regulate the flow of electrical current by isolating a damaged or malfunctioning circuit from the rest of a power system. It is widely used in the electrical wiring of modern homes, buildings, and industrial facilities to protect against electrical overloads. In general, a circuit breaker is designed to operate in two modes: an overload protection mode and a short-circuit protection mode.

IEG1-36072-6-V Application Field and Working Principle

The IEG1-36072-6-V circuit breaker is a high-performance device often used to protect cost-sensitive equipment. This type of circuit breaker is most commonly found in residential and commercial settings, and is designed to regulate the current flow within an electrical circuit. It houses a bimetal that heats and opens up the circuit when an excessive current is flowing through. As the current builds, the bimetal coil expands and the contacts of the IEG1-36072-6-V open, thus cutting the power.

The IEG1-36072-6-V is designed for a variety of applications, including medium voltage power systems, high current loads, and motor control panels. It also helps to protect circuits from damage caused by short circuits and overloads. The design of the circuit breaker also allows for easy field replacements, as it can be quickly and easily installed without the need for specialized equipment or expertise.

The IEG1-36072-6-V is UL listed and can be used in applications up to 240V AC. It is also rated to handle up to 440A continuous operation and 25KA interrupting capacity. The device is designed in a metal clad construction and utilizes a separate trip flag for easy identification of an open circuit. The device is also designed for easy resetting. It is also available in a variety of frame sizes and configurations, allowing for flexible use in any application.

The IEG1-36072-6-V has a number of safety features designed to improve safety and prevent accidental tripping. It has an adjustable trip setting that allows the current limit setting to be adjusted, as well as an adjustable magnetic blowout feature. The device also has a number of visual indicators, including a green LED to indicate the device\'s readiness and a red LED to indicate a tripped state.

The IEG1-36072-6-V is a reliable and cost-effective means of protecting against potential power surges and overcurrent conditions. It is suitable for almost any application, including industrial, commercial, and residential. Its simple design and easy installation make it a great choice for a wide variety of uses.
