R21-0-12.0A-W06CH-V

Circuit breakers are designed to protect electrical systems from being damaged due to overloaded or short-circuited current. The R21-0-12.0A-W06CH-V is a single-pole circuit breaker with a tripping current of 12.0 Amps. It is designed for use in a variety of industrial, commercial, and residential applications.

The R21-0-12.0A-W06CH-V is a snap action breaker, which means that the trip mechanism utilizes a spring and a plunger to open and close the breaker contacts when an overload or short circuit occurs. The circuit breaker is mounted on a load center panel, typically near the transformer. The load center is then connected to the one or more branch circuits.

In industrial and commercial applications, the R21-0-12.0A-W06CH-V can be used to protect control panels, electric motors, pumps, air compressors, air conditioners, lighting circuits, and many other types of equipment from overload currents. It can be used in residential applications as well, such as for protection of kitchen appliances, clothes dryers, and other high draw appliances.

The working principle of the R21-0-12.0A-W06CH-V is relatively straightforward. When an overload or short circuit occurs, a set of contacts within the circuit breaker will open, disconnecting the load from the power source. This action is designed to protect the appliance that is connected to the circuit from being damaged due to excess current.

The R21-0-12.0A-W06CH-V is a UL listed and CSA certified single-pole circuit breaker. The breaker is rated for 120/240 Volts AC and has a maximum current rating of 12.0 Amps. It also features an integral thermal-magnetic trip mechanism, a shunt trip module for remote tripping, and a manual reset. The breaker is also available with a back box for surface mounting.

The R21-0-12.0A-W06CH-V is a reliable and effective circuit breaker, designed to offer superior protection for industrial and commercial applications. It is also suitable for residential use, providing protection against overload or short circuit conditions that can damage the appliances connected to the circuit.
