IEGF6-32726-7-V

Circuit breakers are a critical component of modern electronics and allow efficient use of electricity by safely controlling the flow of electrical current. IEGF6–32726–7–V circuit breakers are used in a wide array of applications, from commercial and industrial to residential, and are designed to meet the needs of each. This model is suitable for motors and other electrical loads that need to be protected from overload, short-circuiting, and other possible faults.

Application Field

IEGF6–32726–7–V circuit breakers are suitable for a variety of applications, from basic residential and light commercial to industrial and hazardous locations. This model can be used with voltage ratings up to and including 400V AC, and current ratings up to and including 630A. It is suitable for single and three phase applications, and for direct or alternating current. Additionally, IEGF6–32726–7–V circuit breakers are designed to be used with higher temperature requirements.

When it comes to residential applications, IEGF6–32726–7–V circuit breakers are usually found in power strips and breaker boxes. These devices are designed to prevent potential shock or fire hazards, as they limit the amount of electricity that can pass through. This model is also suitable for use in motor controls, typically to protect the motor from overload, either caused by an electrical fault or high demand. Furthermore, this model is also suitable for use in industrial applications, where it provides robust protection against external overloads and other electrical faults to ensure system reliability and safety.

Working Principle

An IEGF6–32726–7–V circuit breaker works by detecting any current rises above its rated level. When that happens, it will trip and disconnect the circuit. This is done via a built-in thermal-magnetic delay mechanism which ensures that the breaker will open before any fire or other potential hazard can occur. This thermal-magnetic delay mechanism works by allowing a short time delay when the current rise is detected, allowing the breaker to detect any overcurrent events that may not be immediately hazardous, such as an initial startup surge.

When the rated current is exceeded, the breaker\'s magnetic trip mechanism will be activated, forcing the contacts of the breaker apart and opening the circuit. The thermal trip mechanism operates as an additional protection, as it is designed to detect and react to any heat build-up within the breaker. This is provided by an internal thermal element that will heat up when an overload is detected. The thermal element will expand, which will cause the contacts to trip and the breaker to open.

Once the current falls and the thermal element returns to its normal temperature, the breaker can be reset, usually manually by means of a lever. This will allow the contacts to re-engage, restoring the circuit connection and allowing current to pass. The IEGF6–32726–7–V circuit breaker is designed to provide reliable protection against overload and short-circuit events in a wide array of applications and environments, making it a versatile and reliable safety device.
