229-3-1REC4-38916-1

Circuit Breakers are essential components in electrical systems, providing protection against electrical overloads. In many countries, they are a mandatory safety feature in all residential and commercial buildings. The 229-3-1REC4-38916-1 Circuit Breaker is a three-phase, four-pole circuit breaker that has been sold around the world since the early 1970s. This breaker is designed to meet or exceed standards and has met UL requirements.

The 229-3-1REC4-38916-1 breaker falls into the general category of molded-case circuit breakers (MCCB). It has a 3-pole and a 4-pole arrangement, combined together to form a single circuit breaker. As the name suggests, the breakers are housed in a protective molded case, which includes the operating handle, contacts, and internal components.

The 229-3-1REC4-38916-1 Circuit Breaker is a type of trip unit where the connections are made using an “Auto-Off” feature. This function prevents the breaker from automatically tripping or turning off when the load demand increases beyond a certain preset overload or short circuit limit. Instead, it trips when it reaches the thermal setting while the energy Rating of the breaker protects the electrical circuit against external overloads. This auto-off feature is helpful during emergency scenarios, such as when power outages are unexpected, as it allows the breaker to keep running to power different circuits until the power is restored.

The 229-3-1REC4-38916-1 Circuit Breaker provides a range of benefits in commercial, industrial, and residential applications, thanks to its unique design features. It is suitable for branch circuits, motor control centers, heating, air conditioning, and emergency-stop applications. In residential and commercial settings, it is used for general protection and for overload protection. This breaker, however, is able to handle more complex applications when used with an appropriate motor control center.

In addition to its unique features, the 229-3-1REC4-38916-1 Circuit Breaker also has a superior working principle. This breaker uses a bimetallic strip to detect current overloads and cause the contacts of the breaker to open automatically. This thermal-magnetic action ensures that the protection is immediate when an overload occurs, making it a highly reliable and effective circuit breaker.

The 229-3-1REC4-38916-1 Circuit Breaker is a reliable and reliable device which is beneficial in various residential and commercial applications. It is designed to ensure high levels of safety while providing protection against electrical overloads. Its various features make it a must-have addition to any electrical system.
