IDGN11-33136-3 Circuit Protection

Circuit Breakers: IDGN11-33136-3 Application Field and Working Principle

Circuit breakers are electrical devices designed to protect electrical systems from damage due to overload or short circuits. They are used to disconnect and reconnect circuits. There are various types of circuit breakers available, such as motorized circuit breakers, trip-only circuit breakers and air circuit breakers. The IDGN11-33136-3 is a motorized circuit breaker manufactured by Eltek Valere, and this article will discuss its application field and working principle.

Application Field

The IDGN11-33136-3 motorized circuit breaker is primarily used in industrial and commercial settings. It is suitable for applications requiring high cycling operations, high interrupting capacity, protection and control of the power system in DC power systems with a rated maximum voltage of 1000 V DC. The circuit breaker is used in applications such as lighting, heating, portable power distribution for motor control, emergency switch-off, UPS, wind turbines, telecommunication and battery backup systems.

Due to its versatility, the IDGN11-33136-3 is well suited for various projects requiring a solution to disconnect and reconnect different DC power sources. It is especially useful for applications where the resistance in the circuit is relatively high, as it is rated for up to 500 mA, making it highly efficient and offering superior space savings.

Working Principle

The working principle of the IDGN11-33136-3 circuit breaker is based on the movement of an armature. The armature consists of a magnetically operated switch and mechanical components. When the electric current exceeds the set limit, the armature reacts by acting on the contacts in the switch. This results in the contacts either closing or breaking the circuit. The distance between the contacts of the breaker determines the voltage value, which is adjustable in the IDGN11-33136-3.

The IDGN11-33136-3 motorized circuit breaker uses a stationary motor to carry out the disconnection and reconnection cycles. When the motor cyclically switches the circuit breaker on and off, it enables the breaker to operate at much higher electrical frequencies and faster cycle rates than a manual circuit breaker. This makes the IDGN11-33136-3 particularly useful for applications where frequent and rapid switching is needed.

Advantages

The IDGN11-33136-3 motorized circuit breaker offers several advantages. It has a wide voltage range, from 120 V to 1000 V DC, making it suitable for a wide range of applications. It also offers superior safety, as it is able to disconnect the circuit rapidly if the current flows beyond the set limit. Finally, the motorized operation of the IDGN11-33136-3 allows for faster and more frequent operation than manual circuit breakers, and it also offers superior space savings.

Conclusion

The IDGN11-33136-3 motorized circuit breaker is a reliable and efficient electrical device used to protect electrical systems from overload and short circuits. It is used in various industrial and commercial settings, and it offers superior safety, wide voltage range and superior space savings. Finally, its motorized operation enables fast and frequent operation.
