4435.0173

Introduction

The 4435.0173 circuit breaker is a more advanced version of the standard circuit breaker that is designed to protect equipment, systems, and personnel from electrical short circuits and overloads. It is a rugged, reliable, cost-effective solution for a wide range of applications. The 4435.0173 circuit breaker is designed for use in a variety of conditions, including industrial, commercial, and residential applications.

Application Field

The 4435.0173 circuit breaker is suitable for use in a range of environments, from industrial to residential. It is ideal for switchgear and control panel assemblies, as it is designed to protect delicate electronics and circuits from over-voltage spikes, arcs, and overloads. It also has a number of applications for residential use, including circuit breakers in 120/240-Volt service panel assemblies, as well as single-pole and double-pole circuit breakers in 120/208-Volt service panel assemblies. It can also be used to make the connection between branch circuits and a main feeder circuit during a power outage. Additionally, the 4435.0173 circuit breaker is suitable for use in industrial and commercial premises, providing protection to equipment and personnel from electrical hazards.

Working Principle

The 4435.0173 circuit breaker is designed to provide protection against overcurrents, undercurrents, and short-circuits. This is achieved through the use of trip currents, which are the thresholds at which the breaker will open the circuit. The trip current can be adjusted by means of an adjustable trip handle, which can be set to the desired level. When the current reaches or goes above the preset level, the trip handle will instantly open the circuit and disconnect the power.

The circuit breaker also includes a thermal trip mechanism, which is designed to open the circuit when the temperature inside of the breaker goes above a predetermined level. This mechanism is designed to provide protection against overloads and short-circuits which may cause excessive heat. When the temperature reaches this preset level, the thermal trip mechanism will open the circuit, preventing any further damage.

The 4435.0173 circuit breaker is also equipped with a manual overload trip function, which is designed to provide extra protection against overloads. This feature allows the user to manually trip the circuit breaker at a predetermined level, even if the trip currents are not exceeded. This ensures that any overloads that occur will be dealt with quickly, reducing the risk of damage to the equipment.

Conclusion

The 4435.0173 circuit breaker is a rugged, reliable, and cost-effective solution for a wide range of applications, from industrial to residential. It is designed to provide protection against overcurrents, undercurrents, and short-circuits, as well as providing thermal protection against overloads. Additionally, it has a convenient manual overload trip function that can be used to open the circuit in case of any excessive overloads. This makes the 4435.0173 circuit breaker an ideal choice for protecting delicate electronics and circuits from damage or destruction.
