Circuit breakers are essential elements of any electrical system, providing safety and protection to electrical circuits and components. They are devices that are designed to protect, isolate, or limit an electrical circuit so that it cannot become overloaded with current and short circuit. The APG6-24431-14 is a type of circuit breaker specifically designed for applications in industrial, commercial, and residential construction. This article will discuss the application field and working principle of the APG6-24431-14 circuit breaker.

The APG6-24431-14 circuit breaker is a single-pole, thermal magnetic breaker designed for applications in industrial, commercial, and residential construction. It has a rating of 240V AC, 15A, and interrupting ratings of 10kA at 240V AC. The breaker is UL489 listed and is appropriate for use on branch circuits and feeders. It is also suitable for use as a main or branch disconnect switch in 120/240V AC circuits. The breaker is designed to be installed in a standard single or tandem electrical box, either horizontally or vertically.

The working principle of the APG6-24431-14 circuit breaker is based on a bimetallic strip. The strip is composed of two different metals that react to heat differently, expanding or contracting at different rates. When an overcurrent flows through the breaker, the strip is heated, causing it to expand and move an internal switch. This opens the circuit, which interrupts the current and prevents it from further damaging the circuit. Additionally, the breaker has an overload trip, which is triggered by an overcurrent of greater than 15 amps. When this occurs, the breaker trips and turns off the circuit.

The APG6-24431-14 circuit breaker is a reliable and durable breaker that is ideal for use in industrial, commercial, and residential electric circuits. It provides protection and safety to the electrical circuit, preventing overcurrents and short circuits which may otherwise cause damage to the system. Additionally, it is UL489 listed, which ensures it meets industry standards for safety and performance. With its easy installation, it is a great choice for any electrical system that needs protection.
