IELK1-1REC4-31986-16-V

Circuit breakers are integral parts of any electrical system. They are the final elements responsible for protecting people, property and the system from electrical overcurrents or short circuiting and help control or isolate parts of the system in emergencies. The IELK1-1REC4-31986-16-V is a circuit breaker manufactured by Eurotech specifically designed to protect systems from such dangers.

This particular model of circuit breaker is a 3-pole, 250V AC version with a tripping current range of 0.5-16A. It is available in both selective and non-selective options, allowing the user to choose between tripping only the current phase or tripping all connected phases. Furthermore, it has a durable and impact resistant chassis with a secure, 1/2 inch connector.

The IELK1-1REC4-31986-16-V is most suitable for applications where either interruptible or adjustable overcurrent protection is needed. These include commercial, industrial and residential systems as well as in aeronautical, medical and communications systems. This circuit breaker offers high performance and reliability, ensuring ultimate safety for users.

The working principle behind the IELK1-1REC4-31986-16-V is that it trips when a fault current exceeding the preset value is detected. This current is sensed via a bi-metallic element or an electromagnetic element located in the trip unit. The temperature inside the element rises when a fault occurs, making it expand, thus tripping the circuit breaker. The bi-metallic element is adjustable and can be set to the required trip current.

The IELK1-1REC4-31986-16-V is a reliable, robust and efficient circuit breaker ideal for a range of uses, including protecting systems in all types of commercial, industrial and residential mains. It offers an extra layer of protection and safety to all users of the system, making it a smart and cost-effective investment.
