IEG6-31094-2-V

Circuit Breakers

The IEG6-31094-2-V is a type of circuit breaker. It works by controlling or interrupting the flow of electricity in an electrical circuit by opening and closing the contacts in a circuit when the current either reaches, or falls short of, the expected values and in order to help protect important services and equipment. It is a multi-function, flexible and durable protection for electrical networks.

Application Field

Protective and encouraging intelligent operation, the IEG6-31094-2-V is suitable for many industries, including power generation and distribution, public utilities and manufacturing plants, petrochemical and offshore applications. Primarily, this circuit breaker is used in areas where both over-current and over-voltage are a problem, it offers powerful and efficient protection against both these. Additionally, it can be used in areas with a combination of high electromechanical forces and high heat, where extreme care is required when it comes to operation and safety.

Working Principle

The IEG6-31094-2-V works by responding to abnormal electrical conditions that can arise within a system. When the circuit is overloaded or develops a short circuit, the current within the circuit rises, and the breaker responds by opening the contacts, essentially breaking the link and interrupting the normal flow of power. On the other hand, with an under voltage application, the breaker will close the contacts, avoiding the danger of cascading voltage drop from other apparatus. There is an on-load test device built-into the IEG6-31094-2-V which allows it to detect any internal deterioration before the safety or functionality of the system is compromised. The properties used for the inspection are over-load, short-circuit, type-selector, resistance, capacitance and recloser activation. Since the device is protected by a series of automatic devices, any kind of fault in it is protected against. The enclosed design of the IEG6-31094-2-V also provides high safety and operational reliability.
