279-1-1-53-9-9-80 Circuit Protection

Circuit Breakers

Circuit breakers are essential components of any electrical system. They are designed to automatically disconnect power to a circuit when the current drawn by the system exceeds a predetermined level based on its application field and working principle. A good example of this is the 279-1-1-53-9-9-80 circuit breaker, which is purpose-built for use in marine and off-shore industries.

The 279-1-1-53-9-9-80 circuit breaker works by sensing the amount of current flowing through the breaker’s contacts. This current is then compared to a preset trip level or trip limit. If the current exceeds the limit, the breaker trips, opening the circuit and preventing further current flow. The 279-1-1-53-9-9-80 also has a test feature, which allows the electrician to monitor the current levels safely.

The 279-1-1-53-9-9-80 is designed for use in harsh marine and off-shore environments, where reliability and corrosion resistance are paramount. It is designed to meet the standards of the 2000 National Electrical Code and UL 489. It boasts an impressive response time of 25 milliseconds and has a current range of 7.5 to 90 amps. As such, it is suitable for a range of applications requiring safety and reliability, such as offshore drilling rigs, ships, and other marine applications.

The 279-1-1-53-9-9-80 circuit breaker is designed to be used in conjunction with other components of the system. It features various accessories, such as alarms, lockouts, and other components, which can be included as part of the system. As such, it is essential to ensure that these components are compatible with the breaker and installed in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.

In order to ensure maximum safety, the 279-1-1-53-9-9-80 should be regularly tested and its components maintained. Testing involves visually inspecting the breaker for signs of damage or wear, as well as verifying that it is working correctly with a voltmeter or other suitable test device. It is also important to ensure that the breaker is regularly replaced with new ones, as older breakers may have degraded components which can cause faults and system failures.

The 279-1-1-53-9-9-80 circuit breaker is an essential component of any electrical system. It is designed for use in arduous environments and uses the latest technologies in order to protect the system from excessive current. Thanks to its impressive specifications and test feature, it is a reliable and easy to use device, ideal for use in marine and off-shore applications.
