CB184F-30 Circuit Protection

Circuit breakers are devices designed to protect electrical circuits from damage caused by overload or short circuit conditions. The CB184F-30 is one such circuit breaker specifically designed for low voltage electronic applications. This circuit breaker has a wide variety of applications, and its working principles are based on the circuit Breakers division of the National Electrical Code.

A CB184F-30 is a thermal-magnetic circuit breaker. This type of circuit breaker uses a combination of two methods to open when excess current is detected: one is a thermally sensitive bimetal strip, and the other is a magnetic field that triggers an electromechanical trip mechanism. The bimetal strip is located inside the breaker itself and acts as a switch when it is heated by an electrical current. The magnetic field is created outside the breaker and will cause the internal mechanism of the breaker to open if the current is too high.

The CB184F-30 circuit breaker is designed for use in both residential and commercial installations. In residences it is ideal for protecting 12-volt or 24-volt power supplies, electric motors, such as well pumps and heat pumps, as well as home theater and security systems. In commercial applications, the CB184F-30 can be used to protect lighting and machinery from short circuits or overloads.

The CB184F-30 is suitable for use in both small and large installations. It is UL listed and has a voltage rating of 120/240 vac, at a current rating of 30 amps. It is also CSA certified and rated to 25 amps at 120 vac and 20 amps at 240 vac. The CB184F-30 features a molded case design that releases heat quickly and its thermal protection helps to reduce the risk of fire.

The CB184F-30 is designed to trip quickly when an overload is detected. Once it has been tripped, the circuit is opened. The user must then reset the unit manually by moving the reset lever. This will cut off the circuit and restore the power. The CB184F-30 also features a test button which allows the user to check the circuit breaker for proper operation.

The CB184F-30 circuit breaker is a reliable and cost-effective way to protect electrical circuits. Its thermal and magnetic protection ensures that it will trip quickly in the event of an overload or short circuit. Its wide range of applications makes it suitable for both residential and commercial installations, and its UL and CSA certification ensures it is compliant with local safety regulations.
