CMLHPK11-1REC5-33230-175 Circuit Protection

Circuit Breakers are life-saving devices that keep our homes, businesses, and the systems we rely on from succumbing to an electrical overload. They automatically trip, or disconnect a circuit, when an over-current is detected, preventing fires, appliances from breaking, and damage to wiring. Among circuit breakers, the CMLHPK11-1REC5-33230-175 is a popular device.

The CMLHPK11-1REC5-33230-175 is a .75 Amp, one-pole, thermal-magnetic circuit breaker from the reliable and economical C-Series device line by ABB. The breaker is designed to automatically trip when the current reaching it exceeds the .75 Amp limit.

The CMLHPK11-1REC5-33230-175 is a time-delayed breaker, which means that a specific amount of time is allowed for an over-current situation to pass before it trips. The time-delay helps prevent the breaker from tripping due to small transient conditions that can be common in some electrical systems. The breaker is also self-protected, which allows it to trip even when installed in a line with alternations in the voltage due to frequent starts and stops.

The CMLHPK11-1REC5-33230-175 is designed to help protect any electrical equipment or motor connected to a circuit. It is commonly used in applications such as: Residential circuit breakers in the home; Air conditioning system circuit breakers; Industrial motors and process control equipment; and Lighting system circuit breakers.

The CMLHPK11-1REC5-33230-175 works on the principle of thermal-magnetic operation. It uses a bimetal element to detect the current flowing through the circuit and a switch to open the circuit when the current exceeds the rated limit. The bimetal element is designed to react to the current and heat up, causing the switch to open the circuit.

When the CMLHPK11-1REC5-33230-175 is installed, an inspection and test should be performed to ensure that it has been wired correctly and performs appropriately. Maintenance should also be done regularly to ensure that the breaker continues to operate as intended. The breaker should also be tested and replaced every five years to ensure that it has not worn out over time.

The CMLHPK11-1REC5-33230-175 is a cost-effective, functional, and efficient solution for protecting your property from electrical over-currents. It is a great choice for applications where the cost is a concern and dependable operation is required.
