IEGBX0-33048-1

A circuit breaker is a component of an electrical system used to protect the circuit or equipment from damage or failure due to an overload or shorts. An essential part of any electrical protection system, circuit breakers have a wide application range, from domestic to industrial. The IEGBX0-33048-1 is a type of circuit breaker designed for use in residential and industrial applications.

IEGBX0-33048-1 Application Field

The IEGBX0-33048-1 circuit breaker is suitable for distribution boards, switchboards, and control panels in commercial and residential applications. It is also suitable for general-purpose applications, such as lighting and power systems up to 690 VAC and 500 VDC. The circuit breaker features a current rating of 125 A and a short-circuit breaking capacity of 10kA. It is also available in other current ratings such as 180 A and 100 A.

The IEGBX0-33048-1 is designed with flexibility in mind, and features a touch-safe dual pole terminal design and is compatible with a variety of enclosure configurations. It is also certified to meet international safety standards, such as IEC 60947-2 and EN 60204, and is designed for use with residual current devices (RCDs) and minimum point of common coupling (MP PCC).

IEGBX0-33048-1 Working Principle

The IEGBX0-33048-1 circuit breaker is a thermal-magnetic device that operates by sensing the current flowing through the circuit and tripping if it exceeds the set current rating. The breaker contains a bimetallic strip that is heated by the current flowing through it. When the current exceeds the set threshold, the strip bends and trips the breaker, thus protecting the circuit from an overload or short circuit.

In addition, the breaker also features a magnetic field sensitive to current flow. This magnetic field is passed through an electromagnet that releases a trip mechanism if the set current is exceeded. This ensures that even if the bimetallic strip fails to detect an overload, the circuit will still be protected.

The IEGBX0-33048-1 features a tactile ON/OFF switch that allows the user to override the breaker if necessary. The breaker also features a manual reset switch, which must be manually activated to reset the breaker after the overload has been cleared.

Conclusion

The IEGBX0-33048-1 is a high-performance circuit breaker designed for use in residential and industrial applications. Its dual pole terminal design ensures safe operation, while its thermal-magnetic design ensures protection from both overloads and short circuits. The breaker also offers a manual reset feature and is certified to meet international safety standards.
