IEG2-27259-6-V

Circuit breakers are one of the most important components of electrical systems. In electrical networks, circuit breakers are used to detect and stop the flow of electricity before it reaches a dangerous or inappropriate level. As such, circuit breakers are essential for protecting people, equipment, and the environment from harm from electric power. The IEG2-27259-6-V is one of many types of circuit breakers used to protect a variety of applications.

The IEG2-27259-6-V is a low-voltage miniature circuit breaker with the trip setting of 18 Amp, the rated current of 25 Amp, and the rated voltage of 277-480 Volt AC. It is designed with a thermal-magnetic protection mechanism that can be adjusted to respond to different load levels. It also has integrated surge protection, making it suitable for use in both residential and commercial environments.

The main purpose of the IEG2-27259-6-V is to detect and interrupts the over-current caused by an electrical fault, such as overloads and short circuits. It does this by responding to the level of current passed through the circuit. The circuit breaker continuously monitors the electrical circuit for any changes in current levels and will trip when the current increases past the pre-set point. Upon trip, the circuit breaker opens, allowing the flow of current to stop and the system to be reset and tested.

The IEG2-27259-6-V can be used in a variety of applications, including residential and commercial applications, such as machine tools, pumps, ventilation systems, lighting, wiring switchboards, and other various motor applications. It is also suitable for use in motor control circuits and heavy loads in industries, including steel, cement and mining.

The working principle of the IEG2-27259-6-V is based on the thermal-magnetic mechanism that it uses. This mechanism monitors the current and temperature of the circuit, with the thermal element responding to the temperature and the magnetic element responding to the current. When the current level increases above the trip setting, then the thermal element will heat up and open the contacts, thus shutting off the power in the event of an overload or short circuit.

The IEG2-27259-6-V is a versatile and reliable circuit breaker suitable for a wide range of applications. Its thermal-magnetic protection mechanism ensures that it is able to detect and respond to any abnormal current levels in the system, making it a valuable component in any electrical network.
