IEGX11-28271-3-V Circuit Protection

Circuit Breakers

IEGX11-28271-3-V is a type of circuit breaker, a device used in electrical systems to protect against over-currents, which in some cases can cause serious damage or failure. The IEGX11-28271-3-V circuit breaker can be used in a wide range of applications, including residential and industrial environments, from 1A-125A and up to 250V DC/AC. It boasts a range of features, such as UL and VDE safety compliance, CCC and CE certification, arc suppression, a low opening force, and high precision.

Application Field

The IEGX11-28271-3-V is a great choice for a variety of applications. It can be used as a substitute for traditional fuse-based protection in many applications. It is great for both alternating and direct current applications in residential, commercial, and industrial environments. It offers reliable circuit protection from overloads and short circuits and has the added benefit of resetability, meaning that the user can reset the circuit breaker upfront after an overload.

The IEGX11-28271-3-V is also a good choice for applications where disconnection or isolation of circuits is needed for servicing, repairs or maintenance. It can be used in safety circuits, and also in devices that have high inrush currents, such as motors or transformers. This type of circuit breaker can even be used with power strips to help protect against unexpected outages.

Working Principle

The IEGX11-28271-3-V circuit breaker operates on the principle of thermal/magnetic tripping. It contains a thermal shutoff, a magnetic switch, and a reset switch. The thermal shutoff detects the current flow into the circuit, and trips when it reaches a certain threshold. The magnetic switch is responsible for overcoming the thermal shutoff and short-circuiting the circuit in order to prevent any further damage. Finally, the reset switch reinstates the circuit breaker to its original state, allowing the user to restart the circuit.

The IEGX11-28271-3-V circuit breaker also includes a safety feature known as arc suppression. This feature prevents dangerous and damaging arcing from occurring within an overload or short circuit situation. This is done by introducing a gas-filled chamber to fluidly conduct the arc and extinguish it. The combination of the thermal shutoff, the magnetic clutch, and the arc suppression make for an incredibly reliable and safe circuit breaker for most applications.

In conclusion, the IEGX11-28271-3-V is a great choice for a variety of circuit breaker applications. Its combination of features and safety mechanisms make it versatile, reliable, and safe, making it a great choice for home, business, and industrial applications.
