APG4-35173-1 Circuit Protection

Circuit Breakers are an essential component of any electrical circuit, designed to protect it from short-circuiting or overloads. They are used to automatically prevent damage or destruction to the circuit or devices connected to it in the event of an overload. The APG4-35173-1 circuit breaker is a specific type of circuit breaker, designed specifically for use in hazardous area circuit protection and control applications.

The APG4-35173-1 circuit breaker is a powder-style, trip-type, and frame-type breaker. It is designed to provide reliable circuit protection in hazardous area applications, as well as general industrial and residential applications. Its trip-type features are designed to prevent the voltage and/or the current from exceeding the maximum allowable limits, protecting the system and connected devices from damage. The frame is designed to provide maximum protection from external mechanical damage, such as accidental contact with metal parts, ensuring the highest level of protection for the system.

The APG4-35173-1 circuit breaker has several advantages over other types of circuit breakers. It has a higher current rating compared to other circuit breakers, making it ideal for applications with higher load currents. It has a more robust frame and higher interrupting capacity, making it more suitable for hazardous area applications and general industrial use. It also has a dual trip function, helping to reduce the risk of downtime in critical applications and preventing circuit overloads.

The APG4-35173-1 operates under a variety of circumstances, such as over-current, over-voltage, and short circuit conditions. In the event of an overload, the circuit breaker is tripped and the current is cut off automatically, allowing the circuit to reset without the risk of damage. It also has an integrated temperature protection feature, which will trip the circuit breaker if the temperature of the system exceeds a certain level. This helps safeguard against over-heating and possible system damage. It also has an integrated ground fault protection feature, which monitors the system and cuts off the power in the event of a ground fault.

The APG4-35173-1 circuit breaker is an essential component for any hazardous area applications, providing protection from short circuit and overload conditions. Its robust construction and reliable protection make it ideal for use in commercial, industrial, and residential applications alike. With its dual trip system, it helps reduce the risk of downtime and ensures maximum protection for the system and connected devices.
