IEGZX6-32042-20-V

Circuit Breakers

Circuit breakers are devices used to protect electrical circuits, equipment and people from damage caused by overloads or short circuits. They are used in a wide variety of applications, ranging from small residential systems to power plants and industrial facilities. The IEGZX6-32042-20-V is a circuit breaker designed for medium voltage applications. It is a manual or motor operated three pole breaker with a current rating of up to 20 amps.

Application Field

The IEGZX6-32042-20-V circuit breaker is designed for use in medium voltage applications up to 600 volts. It is suitable for residential, commercial and industrial use, and is often used in power distribution systems, main and sub panel applications, and building automation systems. The breaker can also be used in applications such as pumping motors, air conditioning systems, and other industrial installations. It is UL listed, CSA certified and meets the requirements of the National Electric Code.

Working Principle

The IEGZX6-32042-20-V circuit breaker works by sensing when a circuit has exceeded the current rating and interrupting the flow of electricity. When the current exceeds the current rating, an electromagnetic field is created which pulls together the contact points located on a hinged armature, or “trip”, which moves to a position that breaks the circuit. When the current is returned to a normal level, the trip restores power to the circuit. The breaker includes a reset lever that can be operated manually, or a motor operator that can reset the breaker automatically.

Advantages

The main advantages of the IEGZX6-32042-20-V circuit breaker are its ability to provide protection from short circuits and overload conditions, reducing the risk of equipment and property damage. It also provides protection against operator error, as the reset button can be operated from a safe distance. In addition, the breaker is designed to be easy to install, with no need for additional components or additional wiring.

Conclusion

The IEGZX6-32042-20-V circuit breaker is a versatile and reliable device that offers medium voltage applications reliable protection against damage caused by overloads, shorts, and operator error. With its UL listing, CSA certification, and ease of installation, the IEGZX6-32042-20-V circuit breaker is an ideal choice for residential, commercial and industrial applications.
