Circuit Breakers

A circuit breaker is a resetable device designed to protect electronic and electrical devices from overloads, short circuiting and transient power surges. In the event of a power surge or overload, the circuit breaker will trip and disconnect the affected circuit, stopping it from further damage. The IEGS6-1-61-25.0-G-01-V is an example of a circuit breaker.

Application Field and Working Principle

The IEGS6-1-61-25.0-G-01-V application field includes medium voltage applications ranging from 6kV to 25kV. It is suitable for light and heavy industrial installations, power plants, switchgear, electrical substations and motor control applications. It has also been successfully used in residential and commercial installations.

The principles of operation are similar to that of other circuit breakers. It has an important safety mechanism called "overcurrent protection." This mechanism guards against short-circuiting, overloading, or accidental current spikes. When the current through a circuit reaches the breaker\'s "trip point," a bimetallic element in the breaker will heat up and bend, causing the contacts inside to open and break the circuit. Once the trip point has been reached, the breaker itself need to be manually reset before it will allow power to pass through it.

In addition to overcurrent protection, the IEGS6-1-61-25.0-G-01-V circuit breaker also offers thermal protection. This works by using a heating element inside the breaker that heats up when more current passes through the breaker than it is designed for. This heats up the contacts in the breaker, causing them to arc and trip the breaker automatically.

The IEGS6-1-61-25.0-G-01-V is also equipped with an arc suppression device. This device works by suppressing the arcing that occurs when the circuit breaker trips, reducing the risk of an electrical fire. It works by rapidly cutting off the electrical current supplies.

The IEGS6-1-61-25.0-G-01-V is a reliable and durable circuit breaker that can perform in a wide range of applications. It offers peace of mind and improved safety for users, due to its comprehensive safety features. With its comprehensive safety features, the IEGS6-1-61-25.0-G-01-V is an ideal choice for any medium voltage application.
