229D-2-22600-18 Circuit Protection

Circuit breakers are an essential electrical component in any power system, providing protection against overloads and short circuits. The 229D-2-22600-18 is a type of circuit breaker that provides additional safety features geared towards industrial applications.

Application Field

The 229D-2-22600-18 circuit breaker is used in industrial wiring systems, particularly those involving high-current applications. It is capable of operating in a wide range of voltages, from 208VAC up to 600VAC. This makes it well-suited for applications in industrial facilities, factories, and power plants. It also meets Underwriters Laboratories® requirements and is UL listed, providing added safety and assurance for industrial systems.

Working Principle

The 229D-2-22600-18 circuit breaker is designed to provide overload and short circuit protection. It operates by automatically disconnecting the power supply whenever a fault is detected in the power system. The circuit breaker is designed to respond quickly to overcurrents and short circuits, allowing the user to act quickly and avoid costly damage due to faults.

The 229D-2-22600-18 circuit breaker utilizes a shunt trip mechanism, allowing the user to remotely trigger the disconnection of the power supply. This is particularly useful in industrial systems, where manual triggers may not be readily accessible. The shunt trip mechanism is triggered by a signal sent to the terminal of the breaker, which then operates a remote trip coil that switches off the power. Additionally, the breaker includes a built-in lockout feature that prevents it from being reset manually.

Conclusion

The 229D-2-22600-18 circuit breaker is a reliable and versatile component designed for industrial applications. Its ability to operate at a range of voltages makes it suitable for a wide range of installations, while its shunt trip mechanism and lockout feature provide added safety and convenience for users.
