IEGF6-35876-14-V

Circuit breakers are essential components of any electric circuit. The type of breaker that is right for any one application depends on the specific requirements for that application, and one such type of circuit breaker is the IEGF6-35876-14-V. In this article, we will discuss the application field and working principle of this type of breaker.

Application Field

The IEGF6-35876-14-V is a 3 pole low voltage circuit breaker. It is specifically designed for AC 50Hz/60Hz circuit and has a rated voltage of 110V to 440V. It is suitable for the protection of overload and short circuit in distribution systems of industry and commerce. This type of breaker is ideal for use in machines, buildings, households, circuit boards and other applications that demand higher current protection.

Working Principle

The IEGF6-35876-14-V circuit breaker functions by automatically disconnecting a circuit whenever it detects an overload or a short circuit. The working of the breaker is based on the principle of electromagnetic induction. The breaker is essentially an electromagnet that is energized by high current when an overload or a short circuit is detected. The resulting magnetic force operates a contactor to break the circuit thereby protecting it from damage.

The magnetic force works by holding the contactor in its normal position, the contactor being a spring-loaded plunger. When an overload or short circuit is detected, the magnetic force increases and holds the contactor in its operated position, disconnecting the circuit. As soon as the overload is removed or the short circuit is cleared, the contactor is released and the circuit is reconnected.

Conclusion

The IEGF6-35876-14-V is a 3 pole low voltage circuit breaker specifically designed for AC 50Hz/60Hz circuit and rated voltage of 110V to 440V. This type of breaker is ideal for use in machines, buildings, households, circuit boards and other applications that demand higher current protection. It works using the principle of electromagnetic induction wherein an electromagnet is energized by high current when an overload or a short circuit is detected, which in turn operates a contactor to break the circuit.
