Circuit Breakers – C10A1P-489 Application Field and Working Principle

Circuit breakers are an essential part of any home or commercial electrical system. By preventing dangerous overloads, they provide an invaluable level of protection from electrical shock and fire hazards. The C10A1P-489 circuit breaker is a popular model used in both residential and industrial settings. This article will discuss the application field and working principle for this model.

The C10A1P-489 is usually used in main rigid PVC distribution boards for safety and control for both residential and industrial settings. The circuit breaker is of a thermal magnetic design, and is used primarily to provide overload protection in AC systems. It is rated at 10A at 1P, meaning that it is suitable for supplying a maximum of 10 Amps per phase. This particular model can support up to five different powers, making it a highly versatile circuit breaker.

The C10A1P-489 features a robust design, with its contact leaf spring ensuring consistent contact pressure. This ensures that the breaker opens and closes in a reliable manner, even with heavy loads. It also has a large door for easy access and user convenience. The door also serves to prevent accidental contact with terminals as well as other internal elements.

As for its functioning, the C10A1P-489 is designed to continuously monitor the current in the electrical circuit. Exceeding the rated current will cause the circuit breaker to switch itself off. This is done by firstly detecting the overcurrent condition and then switching off the supply in response. This cutoff-mode is known as a ‘trip-off’, since the circuit breaker stops the current flow and ‘breaks’ the circuit.

The breaker’s thermal mechanism helps to protect the circuit from temperature generated overloads. This is done by implementing an adjustable thermal element, which will trip the breaker in the event of an increase in temperature. This over-temperature protection is set by the user and can be adjusted according to the application.

The C10A1P-489 is also designed with an adjustable output voltage for increased safety against electrical shocks. It can be adjusted to shut down the circuit in the event of a decrease in output voltage, as well as detecting an increase in voltage and adjusting it back to normal before switching off.

The C10A1P-489 circuit breaker is a great choice for both residential and industrial applications. Its advanced protection, solid construction and adjustable functionality make it an ideal solution for electricians and technicians alike. Its adjustable thermal and output voltage settings are a testament to its versatility and reliability.
