4404.0018

Circuit breakers are an important electrical device used to protect electrical systems and equipment from damage due to excess current, being an important part of everyday life related to electricity and power. The 4404.0018 is a molded case circuit breaker made by Crouse-Hinds for use in both residential and commercial applications. It is designed to protect circuits from dangerously high currents, which can cause fires or damage equipment.

4404.0018 Application Field and Working Principle

The 4404.0018 comes with UL Listed and CSA Certified protection, and the ability to safely be used in wet and damp environments. This circuit breaker is suitable for use in residential and commercial applications, including transportation systems and lighting systems. It is also suitable for use as a combination switch and circuit breaker.

The 4404.0018 works through a number of different components, all of which are designed to effectively protect against damaging current. The components in the 4404.0018 include sensing elements, circuit breakers, over temperature protection, and overcurrent protection. The main function of the breaker is to provide an interruption in the circuit when an over-current is detected. The breaker will also provide an over-temperature protection, preventing overheating of the components in the circuit. The sensing elements measure the current, so that when there is an over-current the breaker will activate, disconnecting the circuit.

The breaker also contains a number of other components, such as terminal blocks, busbar, contacts, springs, fuses and relays. These components allow the circuit breaker to provide its functions in a safe and efficient manner. For example, the relay provides a signal to the contacts, which opens or closes the circuit, depending on the signal sent. Additionally, the contacts provide a physical barrier between the controlled circuit and incoming power.

In addition to its protection features, the 4404.0018 is also a very reliable breaker. It is tested in accordance with UL 489 and CSA C22.2 standards to ensure that the circuit breaker will perform optimally during its lifetime. It is also equipped with a high temperature rating, ensuring that it can be used in a wide range of applications. This includes applications in homes and businesses, as well as applications in automotive and transportation systems.

Overall, the 4404.0018 is an important device in keeping electrical systems and equipment functioning safely and efficiently. Its versatile design and protection features make it suitable for a wide range of applications, making it an ideal choice for use in residential, commercial and automotive applications.
