Fuses are essential components in electrical systems as they provide short-circuit protection in the event of an excessive current flow. The 170M5808 is a multisystem miniature circuit breaker from Eaton Bussmann, a leader in power and energy solutions for automation and manufacturing markets. This device provides an economical solution for applications such as panel boards, switchboards, main lug-only load centers, motor control centers, and lighting control that require protection. In this article, we will discuss the application fields and working principle of the 170M5808.

Application Fields of the 170M5808

The 170M5808 is a miniature circuit breaker with a current rating of 5 A and many features designed for optimal use in wide modules and control boxes. This device is suitable for both AC and DC circuits and is compliant with UL, CSA, and CE safety standards for use in construction projects. This product is highly reliable, easy to mount, and provides visible indicatior of trip status, making it a great choice for applications such as

• Panel boards
• Switch boards
• Main lug-only load centers
• Motor control centers
• Lighting control systems

Working Principle of the 170M5808

The 170M5808 is a thermal-magnetic circuit breaker designed to provide short-circuit protection. This circuit breaker features a bimetal that will respond to an over-current condition by opening the circuit. This bimetal is a combination of two metals that have different expansion and climates rates. When current flows through the breaker, the heat generated from this current will cause the bimetal to flex, which opens the contacts and interrupts the circuit. This device also features a magnetic field created by the current that operates the hand lever.

The 170M5808 is designed to be used in both indoor and outdoor applications and can operate at temperatures ranging between -20°C to 70°C. This device is also designed to be used in applications that require DC short-circuit protection. These features, along with its UL, CSA, and CE certifications, make the 170M5808 a great choice for a wide range of applications.

Conclusion

The 170M5808 is a multisystem miniature circuit breaker from Eaton Bussmann that provides short-circuit protection for a variety of applications. This device is designed for use in both AC and DC circuits and features a bimetal that responds to an overload by opening the circuit. This device is also highly reliable, has a wide temperature range, and is compliant with UL, CSA, and CE safety standards. As such, the 170M5808 is an ideal choice for applications such as panel boards, switch boards, main lug-only load centers, motor control centers, and lighting control systems.
