Introduction

Circuit Breakers are an important part of electrical circuit protection. They protect circuit components from overvoltage and overcurrent. Overvoltage and overcurrent can cause excessive heat and electrical arcing, resulting in damage to the circuit. Circuit breakers, such as the IEGX60-30313-1 from Amperes, are designed to interrupt the current in the circuit when the current exceeds a certain limit. This article will discuss the application field and working principle of the IEGX60-30313-1.

Application Field

The IEGX60-30313-1 is designed for use in industrial and commercial applications where a current interruption is required to protect personnel and equipment from electrical shock. It can be used in a variety of environments, such as air-conditioning and ventilation systems, lighting and power circuits, and motor control circuits. It is suitable for both AC/DC systems and can be used in single and three-phase systems. It is UL rated for 120/240 volts and is suitable for use in line- and load-side connections in residential, commercial, and industrial applications.

Working Principle

The IEGX60-30313-1 operates using a thermal-magnetic operating mechanism. It contains a thermal element and a magnetic element. When the load current exceeds the rated current of the breaker, the thermal element heats up, expanding and releasing a trip handle. When the trip handle is released, the magnetic element also trips, allowing the breaker contacts to open, thus interrupting the current. The IEGX60-30313-1 is equipped with an adjustable trip current setting that allows the user to fine-tune the cut-off current to suit the specific application. This is done by rotating the knob on the breaker until the desired trip current is reached. This setting should be adjusted by a qualified technician and tested with a specialized current testing device.When the current is interrupted, the contacts can be reset manually by pushing the technology button located on the trip handle or by an external switch. It should be noted that for safety reasons, the reset should only be done when the current is no longer flowing. It is not recommended to reset the breaker while the current is still flowing as this may lead to damage to the breaker and/or other equipment.

Conclusion

The IEGX60-30313-1 is a reliable and safe circuit breaker that can be used in many different types of applications. It is UL rated for 120/240 volts and is suitable for both AC and DC systems. Its thermal-magnetic operating mechanism is designed to protect circuit components from overvoltage and overcurrent, preventing damage to the circuit. The adjustable trip current setting allows the user to adjust the breaker to the desired level of protection whilst ensuring safety.
