Circuit Breakers

R21-62-6.00A-B06IV-V application field and working principle

Circuit Breakers, also known as circuit interrupters, are electrical safety devices used to protect circuits from potentially hazardous conditions. They are designed to detect an imbalance in the electrical current, and when that imbalance occurs, the circuit breaker trips, or opens up, to shut off current to the circuit.

The R21-62-6.00A-B06IV-V breaker is a type of thermal circuit breaker that uses a bimetallic strip to sense current flowing in the circuit. The bimetallic strip is made of two different metals that expand and contract at different rates when exposed to heat. The strip is connected to a spring-loaded lever, which is connected to the circuit contacts.

When the current flowing in the circuit exceeds the rated amperage, the bimetallic strip reacts by bending due to the build-up of heat. This causes the spring-loaded lever to trip and open the circuit, effectively cutting off the power. This simple and reliable action helps to prevent fires or other hazardous conditions from occurring and protecting both people and property.

The R21-62-6.00A-B06IV-V is designed for use in a variety of applications, such as domestic electrical systems, industrial control systems, motor control centers, and renewable energy installations. It is suitable for use in systems up to 400V AC/DC and is available with a range of contact configurations. This versatile circuit breaker is designed to detect and interrupt over-current, short-circuits, and ground faults.

The advantages of the R21-62-6.00A-B06IV-V breaker include its quick response time, its ability to interrupt high currents, and its rugged construction. Additionally, the breaker is UL 1077 rated, making it suitable for use in many different applications.

In summary, the R21-62-6.00A-B06IV-V breaker is a reliable and versatile thermal circuit breaker that can be used to provide over-current and short-circuit protection in a variety of applications. It is simple in operation, easy to install and maintain, and is rated to provide long-term protection from potentially hazardous conditions.
