APL11-6094-2 Circuit Protection

Circuit breakers are an essential component of electrical engineering and have important implications for the safety and efficiency of many systems. The APL11-6094-2 is a circuit breaker that is designed for medium current applications, up to 1000 amps. This unit offers a reliable and cost-effective solution for the protection of electrical circuits.

The APL11-6094-2 circuit breaker is a single-pole, medium-current switch. It features an overload protection system to prevent damage from high currents, as well as a ground-fault protection that trips when a short circuit rages between a phase and ground contact. The design also includes a manual override switch to allow users to manually reset the circuit once it has tripped.

The working principles of the APL11-6094-2 can be summarized as follows. The circuit breaker is designed with two spring mechanisms. When the current passing through the circuit exceeds the maximum set point, these mechanisms compress, allowing the contacts to open, breaking the circuit. Although the current may dip below the maximum set point again, the spring mechanisms remain compressed until the current passes through the circuit for a predetermined period of time and the contacts reset.

The APL11-6094-2 is ideal for a range of applications, from motor control to lighting circuits. The unit is suitable for currents ranging from 25 to 1000 amperes, and can be used in single-phase or three-phase systems. It is also UL and CE approved, making it safe for use in a wide variety of installations.

The APL11-6094-2 is an example of a reliable and cost-effective circuit breaker for medium current applications. Its overload protection and ground-fault detection systems help to provide a safe and efficient electrical circuit, while its manual reset switch allows users to reset the circuit in the event of a fault. This unit is suitable for a range of applications from motor control to lighting circuits, making it an ideal choice for protecting electrical circuits.
