Circuit breakers play an important role in the overall safe operation of industrial and commercial electrical systems. The 299-4-20590-1 is a particularly commonly used circuit breaker, typically used in residential, commercial and industrial applications. This article will explain the application field and working principle of this device.

Application Field

The 299-4-20590-1 circuit breaker is a multipole device designed for use in either 240V or 480V applications. This circuit breaker is especially useful for protecting critical infrastructure such as HVAC systems, fire alarms, and pumps from damage due to short circuits, overloads, and ground faults. This device is suitable for indoor or outdoor use. It is also suitable for both industrial and commercial applications, such as factories, offices, hospitals, and residential properties.

Working Principle

The 299-4-20590-1 circuit breaker features an electromagnetic trip mechanism. This type of trip mechanism works by detecting changes in current flow throughout the circuit. When the current flow suddenly increases above a predetermined threshold, an electromagnet trips the device and the breaker will open and de-energize the circuit. This prevents further damage from occurring due to an overload or a short circuit.

The 299-4-20590-1 also has overload protection. When the device detects a prolonged increase in current flow, it will trip and de-energize the circuit before any damage can occur. This type of overload protection is especially important for situations where the current flow exceeds the device\'s normal operating parameters, such as in cases of over-heating, faults, or when the load on the circuit is too high.

Finally, this circuit breaker also features ground fault protection. This type of protection is necessary when a hot wire in the circuit comes into contact with the grounding wire or when there is an imbalance between the hot and neutral wires. In the case of a ground fault, the circuit breaker will trip and de-energize the circuit, preventing further damage or injury.

In summary, the 299-4-20590-1 circuit breaker is an essential device for use in residential, commercial, and industrial applications. It offers comprehensive protection against short circuits, overloads, and ground faults, protecting personnel and equipment from damage. Its simple design is easy to install and suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications.
