Circuit Breakers

Circuit breakers are electrical devices used to protect a home or commercial building against electrical overload, short circuits, and ground faults. The IELK1‑1REC4‑33247‑63‑V (IELK110REC4) is an AC circuit breaker designed to protect electrical systems from short circuits, overloads, and ground faults. This particular model has a voltage rating of 480 volts, a current rating of 63 amps, a frequency of 60 Hz, and a maximum fault interrupting capacity of 10,000 Amps.

Application Field

The IELK110REC4 is designed to be used in residential, commercial, and industrial applications. They are typically used in areas where protection from short circuits and ground faults are a must, such as in hospitals, factories, and other high-tech buildings. As such, the IELK110REC4 is ideal for protecting sensitive electronic equipment, such as computers, from potential damage. Additionally, this type of circuit breaker is commonly used in electrical panels in industrial settings for energy distribution.

Working Principle

A circuit breaker is designed to protect an electrical circuit from damage due to short circuits, overloads, and ground faults. When the circuit breaker is switched off, the contacts inside the circuit breaker open, effectively disconnecting the circuit and preventing further electrical current from flowing. When the switch is turned on again, the contacts close, allowing electrical current to flow once more. In the case of an overload, the contacts within the circuit breaker open as well, but the switch does not need to be reset. Rather, the breaker will “trip” and will need to be manually reset in order to be switched on again.

The IELK110REC4 incorporates advanced technology to ensure that when an overload, short circuit, or ground fault is detected, the contacts within the breaker will open up quickly and safely to protect the electrical system. Additionally, this type of breaker is equipped with a thermal-magnetic trip element that provides enhanced protection against short circuits and overloads. This trip element is designed to measure both the current and the temperature within the circuit, allowing for more accurate protection.

Conclusion

The IELK110REC4 AC circuit breaker is designed for a variety of residential, commercial, and industrial applications. Its internal contacts are designed to open quickly and automatically when an overload, short circuit, or ground fault is detected, thereby protecting the electrical system. Additionally, the IELK110REC4 is equipped with a thermal-magnetic trip element to provide enhanced protection against overloads and short circuits. All of these features combine to make the IELK110REC4 an ideal solution for protecting sensitive electronic equipment.
