APGN6-28076-3

Circuit breakers are an integral part of any electrical system. They are designed to protect circuits and related devices from injury due to overcurrent, overload, and short circuit conditions. APGN6-28076-3 circuit breakers are primarily used in residential and industrial applications to protect the power distribution system from potential hazards. This article will explain the application field and working principle of APGN6-28076-3 circuit breakers.

Application Field of APGN6-28076-3 Circuit Breakers

APGN6-28076-3 circuit breakers are used to protect residential and industrial electrical circuits from overloaded currents. These breakers are available in single, dual and triple pole configurations to meet the needs of different applications. The breakers can be easily installed in service panels, subpanels and load centers. The breakers feature a wide range of safe electrical currents from 15A to 60A.

The circuit breakers are UL-1077 recognized and can be used in up to 60-amp branch circuits. They feature insulation separation, line and load terminal marking and cable clamping. The breakers are designed with an adjustable trip setting and manual reset. This ensures that the breaker trips off when it detects an overload, and the reset button can be used to manually reset it when needed. The breakers are rated at 240V AC and have switchable contacts for reliable switching.

APGN6-28076-3 circuit breakers are suitable for residential, commercial and industrial applications. These breakers are designed to be used in fixed wiring installations such as distribution, electric boards, fuse boards, load centers, power distribution and service panels. They also provide protection for motor controls, heating equipment, air conditioning and lighting systems.

Working Principle of APGN6-28076-3 Circuit Breakers

When an electrical overload occurs in a circuit, the thermal-magnetic characteristics of an APGN6-28076-3 circuit breaker will cause it to disconnect the overload circuit. This protection is achieved through the mechanism of the breaker’s internal components. The breaker’s thermal component is a bi-metallic strip that heats up quickly when an overload or short circuit occurs and trips off the circuit. The magnetic component is a solenoid that is activated when overload current reaches a certain level and trips off the breaker.

The operational characteristics of an APGN6-28076-3 circuit breaker can also be adjusted. The adjustable trip settings let the user adjust the level of load that will cause the breaker to trip. This means that overvoltage, overcurrent, or short circuit events can be easily detected and the breaker will trip off the circuit before any damage is caused.

APGN6-28076-3 circuit breakers are designed to provide reliable overcurrent and overload protection. The breakers feature adjustable trip settings, manual reset buttons, and an insulation separation design to ensure consistent and safe operation. These breakers are suitable for residential, commercial and industrial applications, and are UL-1077 recognized.
