IEGF6-34437-30W-V

Circuit breakers are indispensable components of electrical systems. These components are designed to reliably protect other components, such as wiring and motors, from dangerous energized conditions. The IEGF6-34437-30W-V is a specific model of circuit breaker manufactured by ABB. Understanding the application field and working principle of this circuit breaker will help electrical engineers make informed decisions about incorporating it into an existing or potential electrical system.

Application Field of the IEGF6-34437-30W-V Circuit Breaker

The IEGF6-34437-30W-V is designed for alternating current (AC) circuits of up to 600 volts. As with most circuit breakers, it is suitable for use as a replacement component in residential and commercial circuits, as well as in semiconductor production. Additionally, this particular circuit breaker can also be used as a component of industrial machinery and in certain medical equipment.

The IEGF6-34437-30W-V is rated for a current range from 15 to 30 amps, making it well-suited for many different applications where the power requirements may be projected to stay within this range. With an interrupting rating of 10,000 amperes, the IEGF6-34437-30W-V is capable of providing protection against short-circuit and ground-fault deterioration for a broad range of wiring and components.

Working Principle of the IEGF6-34437-30W-V Circuit Breaker

In addition to its impressive current range rating, the IEGF6-34437-30W-V is also equipped with a variable trip point technology, enabling it to be adjusted to specific power requirements. When the current passing through the circuit exceeds the trip point, the circuit breaker will trip, disconnecting the circuit.

A magnetic field sensor is used to detect the intensity of the current and in the event of a fault, a heat sensitive bimetallic strip breaks the circuit. This ensures that the circuit breaker will protect against overloads, short circuits, and other dangerous conditions. The trip point can easily be adjusted with a screw on the side of the circuit breaker, allowing for easy customization for specific applications.

Conclusion

The IEGF6-34437-30W-V circuit breaker is a reliable and versatile component for addressing potential hazards to wiring and machinery in AC circuits up to 600 volts. With its adjustable trip point and 10,000 ampere interrupting rating, it can ensure that power requirements stay within safe parameters. Whether it is being used in an existing residential circuit or in industrial machinery and medical equipment, the IEGF6-34437-30W-V can be counted on to provide reliable and effective protection.
