C10A3P

Circuit breakers are electrical safety devices used to protect a circuit from damage caused by an overload or short circuit. They are typically used in devices such as circuit boards and other appliances or machinery. The C10A3P circuit breaker is a type of circuit breaker that is suitable for use in industrial and professional settings, such as data centers, telecommunications, and commercial/industrial electrical systems.

The C10A3P circuit breaker utilizes a current trip mechanism that measures the current flowing through a circuit and trips the breaker when an overload occurs. The current trip mechanism works by monitoring the current through the circuit and detecting any sustained high level of current. When the current exceeds a predetermined threshold, the breaker trips, preventing any further power from being drawn through the circuit. This allows for a safe shutdown of the circuit before any damage can be caused to the electrical system or any connected components.

The C10A3P also features a voltage trip mechanism that measures the voltage applied to a circuit and trips the breaker when a short circuit or other over-voltage condition occurs. The voltage trip mechanism works by monitoring the voltage applied to the circuit and detecting any sustained high level of voltage. When the voltage exceeds a predetermined threshold, the breaker trips, preventing any further power from being drawn through the circuit. This allows for a safe shutdown of the circuit before any damage can be caused to the electrical system or any connected components.

The C10A3P circuit breaker also features an integral ground fault current interrupter (GFCI) which is designed to detect an imbalance in the current flowing through a circuit and trip the breaker when there is an overload or short circuit. This feature helps to prevent shock-related injuries that can occur in the event of a fault in a circuit. It also offers additional protection against current leakage and fire-related damages.

The C10A3P circuit breaker is designed to comply with UL 489 and UL 1077 both in the United States and Canadian markets, and offers a reliable and cost-effective solution for circuit protection applications. The device is suitable for use in residential, industrial and commercial environments and is available in single pole and three pole configurations.

In summary, the C10A3P circuit breaker is a reliable and cost-effective solution for circuit protection applications. It is designed to comply with UL 489 and UL 1077 in the US and Canadian markets, and is suitable for use in a variety of residential, industrial and commercial environments. The device utilizes a current trip and voltage trip mechanism to detect an overload or short circuit and offers an integral ground fault current interrupter (GFCI) for additional protection.
