Circuit Breakers

Circuit breakers are devices which are used to control, protect, and monitor the flow of electricity within an electrical system. They are a crucial component of any electrical system and play an important role in ensuring its functioning is optimized and safe. The 8340-T120-K1T1-ALH126-0.02A Circuit Breaker is a type of circuit breaker which is designed to be reliable and efficient, this article will discuss the application field and working principle of the 8340-T120-K1T1-ALH126-0.02A circuit breaker.

Application Field

The 8340-T120-K1T1-ALH126-0.02A Circuit Breaker is designed to be used in a variety of application fields. It is a low voltage, thermal magnetic circuit breaker which is used for motor overload and short circuit protection. It is particularly suited to applications where its features such as superior reset performance and excellent trip accuracy are essential. Common applications for this circuit breaker include residential houses, factories, transportation systems, power plants, and other industrial installations.

Working Principle

The 8340-T120-K1T1-ALH126-0.02A Circuit Breaker works in two stages; the first stage is a thermally activated trip point which is triggered by the heat generated when too much current flows through the circuit, and the second stage is a magnetically activated trip point which is activated when the current reaches a predetermined level. When the current is too high, the thermal activation trips the breaker and begins the process of disconnecting the circuit. When the current continues to be exceedingly high, the magnetic field trips the breaker for a complete disconnection of the circuit.

When the current exceeds the pre-set levels, either the thermal or the magnetic trips are activated. When the thermal trip is activated, the breaker will open quickly and to ensure the current does not exceed the preset limit the breaker has a fast follow up trip which is triggered by the thermal trip and causes the circuit to open further to provide maximum protection. On the other hand, when the magnetic trip is activated, the circuit breaker will open at a slower rate than the thermal trip, this is due to the magnetic trip having to activate the contacts which enable the circuit to open.

The thermally activated trip point is incredibly fast and accurate, ensuring that the breaker trips almost immediately upon sensing a surge in current. This ensures that devices and people in the vicinity are protected from potential harm, and that the circuit is not overloaded. On the other hand, the magnetic trip point is slower but more accurate in its trip selection, meaning that the breaker will only be triggered when absolutely necessary, thus providing maximum protection for the electrical system.

Conclusion

The 8340-T120-K1T1-ALH126-0.02A Circuit Breaker is a reliable and efficient breaker which can be used in a wide variety of application fields. It works by employing two different trip points; the thermally activated trip is incredibly fast and provides protection from an overload almost immediately, whilst the magnetic trip point is slower but more accurate in selecting the correct threshold for trip activation. Overall, the 8340-T120-K1T1-ALH126-0.02A Circuit Breaker is an ideal solution for reliably protecting electrical systems with exceeding accuracy and reliability.
