170M4714 Application Field and Working Principle

The 170M4714 is a special electronic circuit breaker that provides advanced protection for applications needing reliable and continuous customer operation, safety and cost savings. This circuit breaker is designed to allow much higher current ratings than standard breakers and also offers improved protection from dangerous electrical short circuits and other electrical hazardous events.

The 170M4714 is a UL-listed, dual pole breaker designed to provide over-current protection. This breaker is designed for use in applications such as air conditioning equipment, lighting, electric motors and power supplies. The breaker uses a special coil to trip on over-current and to reset when the fault current has been removed.

The 170M4714 is designed to be highly reliable, with a maximum service life of more than 25 years. The breaker has a rating of up to 63 amps, and an interrupting capacity of up to 10kA. The breaker also has the capability to selectively trip on short circuit conditions, and to protect downstream components from dangerous over-currents and other hazardous events.

The working principle of the 170M4714 is based on the movement of a starter or clutch mechanism which is connected to the circuit breaker. This starter or clutch mechanism begins to move under the influence of an electric cam when the current reaches the overload point. This movement opens the contact points of the circuit breaker and interrupts the current flow.

When the fault current has been removed, the spring inside the circuit breaker re-engages the contacts and restores power to the protected load. The spring action also provides a cushion for contact bouncing, which prevents unnecessary false trips.

The 170M4714 is a reliable and cost-effective electrical circuit breaker, designed to provide superior protection to electrical systems in a wide range of applications. It is easy to install, provides selective tripping, and can withstand up to 10kA of fault current.
