IEGBX1-1REC5-51F-4.00-A-N3-V application field and working principle

A circuit breaker is a protective device for switching and protecting an electrical circuit from damage caused by overload, short circuit, or other faults. The IEGBX1-1REC5-51F-4.00-A-N3-V series circuit breaker is a diode-tripped, thermal-magnetic circuit breaker that has been developed to provide both overload and short-circuit protection in low-voltage applications. This type of circuit breaker can be used in a wide variety of residential and commercial applications, including lighting, power outlet protection, transformers, and more.

The IEGBX1-1REC5-51F-4.00-A-N3-V circuit breaker combines both a diode-trip mechanism and a thermal-magnetic trip mechanism. When the breaker is first powered on, the diode trip mechanism determines the instantaneous over-current detection and operates to disconnect the circuit if an over current is detected. The diode trip mechanism also provides a high level of protection against voltage spikes and other transient conditions as well.

The thermal-magnetic trip mechanism is a current-dependent function which relies on a heating element and a bimetallic element in order to monitor overload conditions. The current flow heats the bimetallic element which then causes it to bend and trip the breaker. The amount of time it takes for the breaker to trip depends on the magnitude of the overload current. In this way, the thermal-magnetic trip mechanism offers a high level of protection against sustained overloads.

The IEGBX1-1REC5-51F-4.00-A-N3-V circuit breaker also features a manual reset switch, which allows it to be reset after an overload or short-circuit has been cleared. The breaker also features an adjustable trip system, allowing the user to manually adjust the breaker’s current-sensitivity level. This can be used to limit the amount of current the breaker is designed to handle, providing an additional layer of protection.

In summary, the IEGBX1-1REC5-51F-4.00-A-N3-V is a diode-tripped, thermal-magnetic circuit breaker that provides both overload and short-circuit protection in low-voltage applications. Its combined diode trip and thermal-magnetic trip mechanism offer a high level of protection against both transient and sustained overloads, and its adjustable trip system allows users to customize the breaker’s current-sensitivity levels.
