Circuit Breakers

A circuit breaker is an electric device that controls, protects and maintains the continuity of electric circuits. The 2210-T230-K0M1-H3A1-16A circuit breaker is a thermo-magnetic type, encapsulated in a small, hermetically sealed housing. This particular model is suitable for indoor use, with an operating temperature range of -25°C to +65°C. The unit is designed to automatically and quickly shut down the power in the event of an overload or short circuit, protecting both electrics and personnel.

Application Field

The 2210-T230-K0M1-H3A1-16A circuit breaker is designed to be used mainly for residential and light-industrial applications, as well as for all types of general-purpose industrial equipment. With its high-technical specifications, flexible mounting options and easy installation - even in hard-to-reach places - the circuit breaker is ideal for use in stairwells, bathrooms, laundry, garages, and other areas. It can easily be mounted in junction boxes and is suitable for both single and three phase AC systems, carrying a rated current of up to 16 amps.

Working Principle

Thermo-magnetic circuit breakers operate on two basic principles: thermodynamics and electromagnetism. The thermodynamic part of the circuit breaker function is based on a temperature-sensitive device. Upon detecting a short circuit or an overload, the heat-sensitive device immediately reacts by tripping the circuit breaker, to shut off the power supply. The electromagnetism part of the function is enabled by a magnetic coil. When the current flowing through the magnetic coil reaches a predetermined level, the coil becomes magnetized, acting as a force via the electromagnetic force to elevate the thumb lever, and trip the circuit breaker.

Safety Features

The 2210-T230-K0M1-H3A1-16A circuit breaker is designed with safety and reliability in mind, featuring thermal insulation and solid electrodes for efficient operation and improved protection against moisture and dust. Additionally, the unit is equipped with an undervoltage release device that ensures the circuit breaker opens if the voltage drops below the stipulated limit, thus preventing overloading and nuisance tripping. The unit also comes with a high-quality manual reset knob, giving users the ability to manually reset the circuit breaker after an overload has been detected and the power shut off.

Conclusion

The 2210-T230-K0M1-H3A1-16A circuit breaker is an encapsulated thermo-magnetic device designed to protect against short circuits and overloads. It is suitable for residential and industrial applications and can be used in junction boxes. With its numerous safety features and flexible mounting options, the circuit breaker is sure to provide reliable operation for many years.
