LMLC1-1RLS4-24314-38-V Circuit Protection

Circuit Breakers

Circuit breakers are essential components in the electrical system. They can interrupt fault current and prevent circuit damage. The LMLC1-1RLS4-24314-38-V is a circuit breaker produced by Littelfuse, a US-based global provider of circuit protection products and services. This breaker is designed for medium-voltage applications and provides reliable protection for industrial, commercial, and residential power systems.

The LMLC1-1RLS4-24314-38-V circuit breaker can disconnect power in case of an electrical fault. It trips quickly to protect the circuit from overloading or short circuits by automatically disconnecting it from the power source. It can handle up to 3800VAC and provide protection against electrical fires that can arise from overloading or faulty wiring.

The circuit breaker reacts in case of overload due to its thermal-magnetic overload protection. When the current exceeds a certain limit, the thermal-magnetic element inside the breaker is activated, creating a magnetic field that interrupts the circuit manually. In case of a short circuit, the breaker picks up in an instantaneous manner, offering faster response and protection.

To install the LMLC1-1RLS4-24314-38-V, it needs to be mounted in a suitable panel or switchboard with proper voltage and current ratings. Care should be taken during installation to avoid contact with live parts to protect from electric shock. When the circuit is active, the breaker should not be opened or closed.

The LMLC1-1RLS4-24314-38-V circuit breaker is equipped with several safety features, such as arcing rods, metal oxide varistors, and current-limiting fuses which help offer protection by reducing the intensity of a short circuit to avoid damage to other parts of the electrical system. It also features an arc extinguishing chamber and an internal trip unit which allow the breaker to quickly identify a short circuit or other faults and shut off the power to avoid any damage.

The LMLC1-1RLS4-24314-38-V circuit breaker can be used for medium-voltage applications such as shops, offices, factories, or homes. It can also be used in industrial settings, including oil production and refining, power distribution, and power generation facilities. The LMLC1-1RLS4-24314-38-V is capable of providing IEC 60947-2 compliant protection, ensuring that the electrical system is properly protected from damage.
