Circuit Breakers

The 8345-C01A-U3M1-DB1B1B-X8345-S01HW102M-60A is a type of circuit breaker, a device used to protect an electric circuit from damage caused by overload or short circuit. The term “circuit breaker” refers to the action that occurs when the load current exceeds the current rating; the device is “tripped”, which means that it is opened, interrupting the circuit. A circuit breaker is designed to be reset once the current has returned to safe levels.

Application Field

The 8345-C01A-U3M1-DB1B1B-X8345-S01HW102M-60A is designed for use in residential and commercial applications, where short-term overloading or electrical faults may occur. It is also suitable for use in industrial environments, where higher levels of safety and reliability are required. The device is designed to protect walls, wiring, switches, and other electrical components from overheating or damage due to excessive or continuous current flow.

Working Principle

The 8345-C01A-U3M1-DB1B1B-X8345-S01HW102M-60A circuit breaker consists of two main components; the overload switch and the short circuit switch. The overload switch is responsible for sensing the current flowing through the circuit and tripping the circuit breaker in the event that the load current exceeds the set rating. The short circuit switch is designed to trip the circuit breaker if a short circuit occurs. The device is designed to perform both functions with minimal delay, ensuring that the circuit is protected from damage.

When the current load exceeds the rated capacity, the overload switch will sense the increased current and trip the breaker. This trips the mechanism, breaking the circuit and reducing the load. When a short circuit occurs, the short circuit switch senses the sudden increase in current and immediately trips the circuit breaker. In both cases, the device will remain in the “open” position, interrupting the current flow and protecting the circuit. Once the overload or short circuit has cleared, the circuit breaker can be reset, allowing the circuit to be restored.

Conclusion

The 8345-C01A-U3M1-DB1B1B-X8345-S01HW102M-60A circuit breaker is a type of circuit breaker designed for residential and commercial applications. It is designed to protect the wall, wiring, switches, and other electrical components from potential overload and short circuit damage. The device consists of two main components; the overload switch and the short-circuit switch. These two components act quickly to trip the breaker in the event of an overload or short circuit, minimizing the risk of damage to the circuit.
