203-222-8533-1

Circuit Breaker is a type of electrical switch that is used to control and protect an electric circuit from the overload. It helps in automatically interrupting the current when it exceeds the preset value. This setting of the preset value is typically done either by manual setpoint or by adjustment of a current transformer input.The model 203-222-8533-1 circuit breaker is widely used in the industrial sectors for its simple as well as effective operation. It is designed to detect excessive current flow in a circuit with its monitoring switch. It is namely an “electronic” or “thermal” switch that senses the current flow in the circuit and if exceeds the preset value, it automatically opens the contacts stopping the current flow.This electronic switch is referred as an adjustable current thermostat circuit breaker, as it is fitted with an adjustable current dial setting the required safe electrical current. This adjustable dial comes with an adjustable setpoint that indicates the maximum current that can enter the main circuit. It also comes with an adjustable time switch that is used to determine the time delay after which the circuit breaker can be re-closed. Since, the time delay before the re-closure of the contacts can be adjusted as per the requirement, circuits subjected to continuing overloads can be protected efficiently.The 203-222-8533-1 circuit breaker functions on the principle of heat dissipation. In order to provide safety, it relies on the heat generated due to excessive current flow that it senses. When the current flow input increases beyond the preset value, it raises the temperature of the monitoring switch. When the switch reaches a predetermined temperature, it opens the contacts stopping the current flow. The cooling process follows and the current can be resumed after the time delay set by the adjustable time switch. It is also equipped with a protective cover to protect it from moisture, dirt and other elements that can damage the circuit breaker. Moreover, this adjustments setpoint on the adjustable current thermostat gives instructions to the contacts to open or close itself as per the current continuously fed to the main circuit. This simple mechanism provides safety from short-circuits, ground-faults, overloads, and other sources of electrical hazards. This model 203-222-8533-1 circuit breaker is very efficient and effective to use and is becoming increasingly popular in the industrial sector. With its accurate sensing and adjustable time switch, it is able to provide enough protection to the equipment.
