IEGS1-30423-12-V

Circuit Breakers

A circuit breaker, such as the IEGS1-30423-12-V, is an important part of any electrical system. It is used to protect electronic and electrical components from damage caused by over currents. The circuit breaker works by interrupting an electrical circuit and preventing further current from flowing through it. So, when an unexpected rise in current is detected, the circuit breaker will automatically open and break the circuit. This will prevent damage to the connected components and protect the system from further damage.

Application field

Circuit breakers are used in many different applications, from home and commercial applications to industrial, marine and aviation use. In home and commercial applications, circuit breakers are used to protect electrical systems from damage caused by over current, such as an excessive current caused by a short circuit. In industrial, marine and aviation applications, they are used to control the flow of large currents. They are also used in automotive systems to protect vehicle electronics from damage caused by over current.

Working Principle

The working principle of a circuit breaker is very simple. It contains two contacts, one fixed and one movable. When the current flowing through it exceeds a certain preset limit, the movable contact is separated from the fixed contact, breaking the circuit in the process. This interrupts the current flow, preventing further damage from occurring.

The IEGS1-30423-12-V is a multi-mode circuit breaker that can be used for both short-circuit protection and thermal overload protection. It is designed for use in harsh environments, featuring a stainless steel enclosure and an epoxy insulation system. The IEGS1-30423-12-V is able to deliver up to 30 times nominal rating current and withstand temperatures up to 327°F (163°C).

Conclusion

The circuit breaker is an important part of any electrical system. It is used to protect components from damage caused by over currents, and it works by interrupting an electrical circuit and preventing further current from flowing through it. The IEGS1-30423-12-V is a multi-mode circuit breaker designed for use in harsh environments, and it is able to deliver high levels of current protection for short-circuits and thermal overloads.
