Circuit Breakers

The IEGBX6-33582-40-V circuit breaker is a device used to disconnect a circuit when too much current surpasses its rated capacity. This helps to prevent damage to circuits and equipment that might otherwise be caused by overcurrent conditions.Generally, a rated current is determined by the amount of current a circuit can carry normally. If this current surpasses its rating it can present a risk to the circuit or electrical system. A circuit breaker acts as a safety device that shuts off the flow of electricity if it senses a high current has been exceeded.The IEGBX6-33582-40-V circuit breaker has a short-circuit interruption capacity of 20kA, making it suitable for industrial or commercial applications. It has electrical current capacity range of 800-4000A and a rated voltage of 277/480V. It is also certified as a UL 489-Listed Molded Case Circuit Breaker, as well as an UL1077 Supplementary Protector Type.The circuit breaker has four terminals: one each for neutral, ground, line and load. The neutral and ground terminals are used to provide a safe path for excess electrical current. The line terminal is the input terminal, which connects to the main power supply. The load terminal is the output terminal, which then connects to the wiring system and the other end of its circuit.When power is applied to the circuit breaker, it turns on, providing electricity to the load. If the circuit breaker detects an increase in current, it will trip and shut off the flow of electricity. This helps to ensure that equipment and other electrical components are protected from possible fire hazards and other damage that could result from an overloaded circuit.The circuit breaker also has a feature called short-circuit protection. This feature helps to protect against electrical shorts and other problems that could result from an unstable power system. The circuit breaker is also equipped with a thermal trip indicator, which indicates when the temperature of the circuit breaker has exceeded a certain level, indicating the need to replace or upgrade the breaker.The IEGBX6-33582-40-V circuit breaker is a reliable and durable device that helps protect circuits and equipment from damage due to overcurrent conditions. Its high current interruption capacity and short-circuit protection features help ensure that electrical equipment and circuits are protected from potential fire hazards.
