IEG11-1-63-12.5-01-V application field and working principle

Circuit breakers are an essential component of any power system, the primary function of which is to protect the circuit from overcurrent or short circuit faults. The IEG11-1-63-12.5-01-V is a miniature circuit breaker designed for use in low-voltage, low-current applications. In this article, we will discuss its application fields and working principle.

Application Fields

The IEG11-1-63-12.5-01-V is ideal for use in low-voltage and low-current applications. Its nominal rated operational voltage is AC 125V and rated current is 63A. It is suitable for use in electronic equipment, lighting systems, and heating systems, as well as for the protection of switching devices, such as motor switches and relays. It can also be used for leakage protection of reactive power.

Working Principle

The working principle of the IEG11-1-63-12.5-01-V is based on the thermal and magnetic effects of current. The breaker has two major components: a thermal element and a magnetic element. The thermal element is a thermal element of an alloy strip or bimetal which works according to the Joule-second law. When the current exceeds the rated value, heat is generated in the thermal element, causing it to deform. This causes the tripping of the breaker. The magnetic element consists of an electromagnet, and when the current exceeds the rated value, a magnetic circuit is formed. This causes the breaking and tripping of the breaker.

The IEG11-1-63-12.5-01-V is easy to install and offers reliable protection against over-current and short-circuit conditions, making it an ideal choice for use in low-voltage and low-current applications.
