209-1-1REC5-25290-1

Circuit breakers are devices that protect electrical circuits from current overloads, or short-circuiting from external sources. The 209-1-1REC5-25290-1 circuit breaker is a single-pole thermoset-cased circuit breaker which provides protection against excess current from power grids and from overloading the circuit. It is designed to meet UL, CSA and other industry standards.

The 209-1-1REC5-25290-1 circuit breaker is specifically designed as an air-break switch to protect loads not exceeding 30 amperes. This makes it ideal for residential, commercial, industrial and other low-voltage applications. Its lug-style design is available with two optional integral current-limiting terminals, allowing for installation in a wide variety of mounting configurations. Its operating handle rotates to OFF position when circuit is tripped, providing an easy to identify “Off” indication.

The 209-1-1REC5-25290-1 circuit breaker operates on a thermal-magnetic principle. When an overload or short circuit occurs in the load attached to the breaker, the current immediately increases. The increase in current is detected by the thermal element of the breaker, which causes the trip mechanism to be engaged. This action trips the breaker, cutting off the power to the load and protecting it from further damage.

The thermal element of the 209-1-1REC5-25290-1 circuit breaker is calibrated to operate within specified limits of temperature. The breaker can sense an increase in temperature of the circuit due to an overload or short circuit, and will automatically trip the breaker to interrupt the flow of current. This thermal protection helps to keep the circuit within the acceptable temperature range and reduce the risk of damage to the circuit.

The magnetic element of the 209-1-1REC5-25290-1 circuit breaker works in conjunction with the thermal element to provide quick response for short-circuit trips. Magnetic tripping is based on the magnitude of the current flowing through the breaker. The magnetic element detects the large currents in the event of a short circuit, and trips the breaker to shut off the power. The faster trip response of the magnetic element helps to reduce the risk of fire and equipment damage due to short-circuit conditions.

The 209-1-1REC5-25290-1 circuit breaker is designed to meet the stringent requirements of UL, CSA and other industry standards. Its features, including high current interrupting capacity and UL-tested single pole construction, are designed to provide reliable operation and maximum protection under normal and overload conditions. The breaker has an adjustable current-limiting function that allows for tailored protection against electrical faults and surges. The breaker also features easy on-off operation and tamper-proof construction for added security and peace of mind.

The 209-1-1REC5-25290-1 circuit breaker is a reliable, versatile, and affordable solution for residential, commercial, and industrial applications. It is designed to provide protection from overloads, short circuits, and other electrical conditions, and its current-limiting functionality helps to ensure that the circuit is not overloaded or damaged in the event of an electrical fault. With its easy installation and tamper-proof design, the 209-1-1REC5-25290-1 circuit breaker is a reliable, safe, and cost-effective solution for low voltage applications.
