IEG1-26078-1-V

Circuit breakers are electrical components used to protect circuits from being overloaded with excessive current. Circuit breakers sense the level of current being drawn and trip (open the circuit) if it exceeds a certain level. The IEG1-26078-1-V circuit breaker is one of the most popular circuit breakers used in a variety of applications, including residential and commercial buildings, industrial turbines, electric vehicles, and automotive applications. This article looks at the application field and working principle of the IEG1-26078-1-V circuit breaker.

The IEG1-26078-1-V circuit breaker is a well-known circuit breaker used in a wide range of applications. It has a voltage rating of up to 480 volts, with a current rating of up to 20 amps. It is a two-pole breaker, meaning it can be connected to two circuits with two separate switches. This makes it ideal for applications where two different circuits need to be separated. For example, it can be used in a home, to protect two different circuits from an overload situation. The IEG1-26078-1-V can also be used in industrial applications, such as turbines, electric pumps, and other machines. Additionally, it can be used in automotive applications, such as electric cars.

The working principle of the IEG1-26078-1-V is based on a heat-sensitive element. When the circuit is overloaded, the heat-sensitive element expands, breaking the connection between the two poles of the circuit. The breaker then needs to be reset by manually pressing the reset button, or by turning the power off and back on. This allows the heat-sensitive element to cool down and reset itself, allowing the breaker to resume normal operation.

In addition to the overload protection provided by the IEG1-26078-1-V, it also provides short circuit protection. When a large amount of current passes through the circuit, the breaker trips, breaking the connection and preventing further damage to the circuit. This makes the IEG1-26078-1-V ideal for low voltage applications, where circuits are more vulnerable to short circuits.

The IEG1-26078-1-V is a durable, reliable and cost-effective circuit breaker. It is easy to install and maintain, making it an ideal choice for a variety of applications. It can be used in low voltage applications such as residential and commercial buildings, industrial applications such as turbines and electric pumps, and automotive applications such as electric vehicles. The IEG1-26078-1-V is also a great choice for providing short circuit and overload protection in many different applications.
