IDGN1-33669-2 Datasheet/PDFCircuit Breakers: IDGN1-33669-2 Application Field and Working Principle
Circuit breakers are known for their ability to protect electrical circuits against hazardous overload conditions. IDGN1-33669-2 is a type of circuit breaker with an enhanced performance in comparison to conventional types, designed especially for industrial conditions. This article reviews the features of the device and its working principle, as well as its application field.
The IDGN1-33669-2 is a two-pole miniature circuit breaker built with a combination of magnetic and thermal-sensitive elements. The two poles are placed in a sequential system and the overall design is concentrated on the efficient trip curve, which allows the breaker to detect and protect against faults in the range between 6A and 63A. It features a wide range of accessories such as bimetal actuators, trip units and so on, which makes it suitable for use in multiple environments. Additionally, the device is UL489 listed, which means that it complies with North American safety requirements.
Working Principle
The working principle of the IDGN1-33669-2 is based on the movement of an auxiliary plunger, which is located in the breaker housing and is activated by the heat generated during an overcurrent event. This plunger closes a switch in the event of an overload, which interrupts the power flow and triggers the breaker’s internal trip mechanism. The device also features a diagnostic indicator that allows maintenance personnel to quickly identify any faulty circuit and to quickly restore power.
Application Field
The IDGN1-33669-2 is designed for industrial use and is suitable for environments where a large amount of power is needed. It is designed to protect against overloads, short-circuiting, line to ground fault currents and high harmonic loads. It is commonly used in industries such as automotive, electronics, construction and oil and gas. Its wide range of accessories allows it to be adapted to fit different application scenarios.
The IDGN1-33669-2 is a reliable and easy-to-install circuit breaker that offers a number of benefits for industrial settings. Its simple working principle and UL489 safety listing make it suitable for use in multiple environments. Additionally, the wide range of accessories available for the device make it a reliable, cost-effective solution for any industrial application.
