6720005368 Circuit Protection

Circuit breakers are common in most electrical systems. They are used to protect against overloads and are also commonly used to switch off electrical appliances to prevent accidents. The 6720-005368 circuit breaker is a type of circuit breaker that is typically found in industrial and commercial applications.

The 6720-005368 circuit breaker is a general-purpose low voltage circuit breaker. It can be used in motor control, lighting, industrial equipment and many other applications. It is designed to provide protection for circuits against overloads and short circuits of up to 125 percent of its predesignated rating.

The 6720-005368 circuit breaker is usually installed in an electrical cabinet. It is a three-pole breaker with a thermal-magnetic trip unit, manual overload protection and a manual reset circuit. The breaker has three poles - the hot, neutral and ground. When magnetically operated, the breaker has a maximum rated power of 10,000 A and a maximum rated current of 3,000 A.

The working principle of the 6720-005368 circuit breaker is based on the thermal overload protection that is provided through the internal heating element. This heating element senses the current flowing through the breaker and will trip the breaker if the current reaches a critical level. The manual reset circuit will reset the breaker when it has been tripped and the overload has been eliminated.

The other protective function of the 6720-005368 circuit breaker is the short-circuit protection. This is achieved through the use of either current limiting or ground fault protection. Current limiting requires the current to be restricted to a predetermined level, while ground fault protection requires the current to be restricted to a level that is much lower than the standard current rating of the breaker.

In summary, the 6720-005368 circuit breaker is a general-purpose low voltage circuit breaker designed for industrial and commercial applications. It provides protection against overloads and short circuits and has manual reset and current limiting features. The circuit breaker is typically installed in an electrical cabinet and is easy to use.
