1180-01-2.5A

Circuit breakers are a fundamental part of an electrical system. They are used to protect wiring and electrical components from overheating and potential fire resulting from a short circuit. The 1180-01-2.5A is a type of circuit breaker which provides high-end protection and convenience for high-end equipment.

The 1180-01-2.5A is designed to protect against all types of over-currents, such as excessive current, short-circuiting, ground fault,or over-voltage. The main purpose of the 1180-01-2.5A is to prevent potentially hazardous conditions or overloading of electrical equipment, resulting in power outages or damage to wiring or components.

Application Field

The 1180-01-2.5A is primarily used in medium- to high- voltage electrical distribution systems. It is particularly suited for industrial and commercial applications. Examples of such applications include factories, power plants, motor control centers, and commercial buildings. It is also used in residential and consumer applications for high-end equipment protection.

This type of circuit breaker is also used for panel boards, switch boards, switchgears, and bus-ways in medium- and high-voltage applications. In addition, the 1180-01-2.5A is well-suited for applications requiring a high level of safety, reliability, and accuracy, such as medical centers and laboratories.

Working Principle

The 1180-01-2.5A uses a thermal-magnetic release unit mechanism to detect overcurrents. This unit has two heat-sensing wires known as trip coils. The trip coil operates when the unit detects an excessive current flowing through the circuit.

When an overcurrent is detected, the trip coil releases a mechanism to switch off the circuit breaker. This must be done manually. The trip coil then disengages the main switch and the circuit is turned off. The circuit breaker must then be reset manually.

The 1180-01-2.5A also has a mechanical operation feature that allows it to be set to a certain temperature. When this temperature is reached, the circuit breaker will automatically trip and switch off the circuit. This feature is useful in high-temperature environments such as industrial settings to ensure that the circuit does not overheat.

The 1180-01-2.5A also has a shunt trip feature that allows it to be used in applications where a signal from an external device is required to trip the circuit breaker. The signal activates the shunt trip mechanism and the circuit breaker is turned off.

Conclusion

The 1180-01-2.5A is a versatile and reliable circuit breaker that provides high-end protection and convenience for high-end equipment. It is suitable for use in industrial, commercial, and residential applications, and is particularly proficient in applications that require safety, reliability, and accuracy. The 1180-01-2.5A is the perfect choice for a variety of applications that require complete protection from overcurrents.
