0ACB030.XP

Circuit breakers are essential components of electrical systems. They protect the electrical wiring from being overloaded or short-circuited in the event of a fault or overload. The 0ACB030.XP is a double pole, air circuit breaker designed for medium voltage power applications. It can provide a reliable level of protection against short-circuits, overloads and ground faults. In this article, we will explore the application field and working principle of the 0ACB030.XP.

Application Field

The 0ACB030.XP is suitable for applications from 12kV up to 55kV in medium voltage networks. It is designed for cable or busbar protection in a wide range of applications such as distribution networks, industrial power systems, and traction systems. Its outstanding short-circuit breaking capacity means it is ideal for protecting transformers and any other medium to high voltage equipment. It can be used in both indoor and outdoor environments and its consistent performance and reliability makes it a suitable choice for mission-critical applications.

Working Principle

The 0ACB030.XP is a thermal-magnetic breaker and is made up of two circuits: a thermal circuit and a magnetic circuit. The thermal circuit contains a bimetallic strip, which is heated up when current passes through it. The increased temperature will cause the bimetallic strip to bend and open the contacts. The magnetic circuit contains an electromagnet which is energised by the current flowing through it. The magnetic field created by the electromagnet will switch a lever which opens the contacts. The 0ACB030.XP has adjustable current operated characteristics, meaning it can be adjusted to meet the specific requirements of the application.

In addition to providing protection against short-circuits, overloads and ground faults, the 0ACB030.XP also has a range of additional features that make it suitable for a wide range of applications. It has a wide range of accessories including a range of motor operators, which can be used to remotely control the breaker. It also has a range of communication options, including RS485 or Modbus communication protocols, which can be used to monitor the breaker status and receive fault trip events. It is also equipped with integrated surge arresters, meaning that there is no need for external surge protection.

Conclusion

The 0ACB030.XP is a robust, reliable double pole, air circuit breaker designed for medium voltage power applications. It can provide a reliable level of protection against short-circuits, overloads and ground faults. It has adjustable current operated characteristics, meaning it can be adjusted to meet the specific requirements of the application. It also has a range of additional features that make it suitable for a wide range of applications. Therefore, the 0ACB030.XP is a suitable choice for mission-critical applications.
