Homeowners can use it to protect their electrical wiring from overloads and shorts, preventing the risk of fires. Business owners can use it to protect computers, printers and other expensive electronics from power surges and overloads. In the industrial setting, it can be used to provide quick-acting protection for motors, generators, transformers and other high-powered equipment.
The CMG1-1RS5-30669-3 can be used in a variety of circuit sizes, from 15-125 amps. It is ideal for use in standard 110 volt, 220 volt and 440 volt circuits, as well as three phase circuits. Further, it is designed to be UL listed, CSA approved and meet other national and international safety standards, making it perfect for both domestic and international applications.
Working Principle of a Circuit Breaker
A circuit breaker is designed to detect either an overload or a short circuit and cut-off the flow of electricity. It does this by keeping within itself a small and predictable amount of current (measured in amperes), and when too much current is detected, it trips the breaker and cuts off power.
Normally, the circuit breaker works in two stages. In the first stage, it trips when the current rises to a certain point, depending on the amperage rating of the circuit breaker. This is known as the instantaneous trip setting, and is calibrated when the circuit breaker is first installed. In the second stage, when the current reaches a higher level, the circuit breaker will stay tripped for a longer period. This is known as the delayed trip setting, and is designed to protect the wiring from any further damage.
The amperage rating of the circuit breaker should be carefully chosen to match the type of load it will carry. Too small an amperage rating may tripped too easily leading to numerous power interruptions. Conversely, too large an amperage rating may not offer sufficient protection.
The CMG1-1RS5-30669-3 was designed to offer a reliable, cost-effective solution to a wide range of circuit protection needs. Its simple internal design, combined with a variety of sizes and ratings, make it suitable for a wide range of applications.
