IDLK1-31294-40

Circuit Breakers are a type of electrical device designed to disconnect an electrical circuit during a fault. They are used to protect an electrical circuit from damage due to an overload or short circuit. Circuit breakers are used in a wide variety of applications and are available in a variety of sizes and ratings.

The IDLK1-31294-40 circuit breaker is a three pole rectangular frame type circuit breaker. It is rated for 480Y/277VAC at 50/60Hz and is equipped with a trip/hold switch, manual/automatic reset, and a handle lockable in either the open or closed position.

Working Principle

The IDLK1-31294-40 circuit breaker is a magnetically operated circuit breaker. When the current in the circuit exceeds the rated current, the circuit breaker trips and interrupts the circuit. This is done by a bimetal element inside the breaker which expands when exposed to a certain amount of heat, causing the breaker to trip. When the fault is no longer present, the bimetal element will cool down and the circuit breaker will reset automatically.

Applications

The IDLK1-31294-40 circuit breaker can be used in a variety of applications, including commercial and residential buildings, industrial and manufacturing facilities, and in electrical systems on ships and other watercraft. The circuit breaker is well suited for applications in harsh environments, such as those found in mining and construction sites, as the circuit breaker is rated for up to five thousand amps.

The IDLK1-31294-40 circuit breaker is UL listed and CSA certified, making it suitable for use in a variety of applications. It can be used in a wide range of applications, including controlling power distribution in high power and large systems, as well as in more moderate power applications. The breaker has a manual/automatic reset switch, allowing the user to determine when the breaker is reset automatically or manually.

In addition to its use in circuit protection and power distribution, the IDLK1-31294-40 circuit breaker can also be used in fuse-less motor control applications. The breaker can be used to provide reliable motor control and protection for motors up to five hundred horsepower, making it suitable for inverter applications, as well as more heavy-duty applications such as those found in marine propulsion and HVAC systems.

The IDLK1-31294-40 circuit breaker is an excellent choice for a wide range of applications due to its robust construction and reliable performance. The breaker is designed to be maintenance free, saving on cost and downtime. The wide range of ratings makes it suitable for a variety of applications, while its UL and CSA certifications provide a level of safety and reliability.
