Circuit Breakers: IEGZX66-30895-2-V Application Field and Working Principle

Circuit breakers are a vital part of modern electrical systems and the IEGZX66-30895-2-V is no exception. This circuit breaker is rated for a maximum of 15 amps, making it suitable for use in commercial and residential applications. This article will discuss the application field, working principle and features of the IEGZX66-30895-2-V circuit breaker.

Application Field

The IEGZX66-30895-2-V is suitable for use in 120/240V single-phase systems, up to 20A. It can be used to protect any size and type of system, including those in residential and commercial settings. In residential applications, it is commonly used to protect outlets and receptacles, as well as light fixtures, appliances, electronics, and other electronic equipment. In commercial settings, it can provide overload and short circuit protection for HVAC systems, lighting systems, elevators and other large equipment.

Working Principle

The IEGZX66-30895-2-V is a thermal-magnetic circuit breaker. This type of breaker combines a magnetic field to detect occurrences of excess current, and a thermal element which reacts to the temperature of the electrical circuit. The magnetic field is triggered when current starts to exceed the breaker’s rated amperage. This triggers the thermal element, which then trips at a higher current rating than the magnetic field alone. This helps to prevent the circuit from becoming overloaded.

Features

The IEGZX66-30895-2-V features a trip-free design, which means that the breaker cannot be kept in the “on” position if it has already tripped. This helps to ensure that the circuit will not be overloaded. It also features an adjustable trip setting, which can be adjusted to match the current load. The breaker has a life expectancy of at least 10,000 cycles, which ensures that it will last for many years under normal conditions.

The IEGZX66-30895-2-V also has a lockout feature, which prevents the breaker from being reset until the risk of overloading is gone. This helps to prevent accidental resetting of the breaker, and prevents potential overloads.

The IEGZX66-30895-2-V is UL-approved and complies with UL 489, the standard in the USA for circuit breakers. This provides peace of mind and ensures that all components are of the highest quality.

Overall, the IEGZX66-30895-2-V is a reliable and versatile circuit breaker suitable for most applications. Its adjustable and lockout features, combined with its long life expectancy, make it a great choice for protecting electronic equipment.
