IELK111-1-62-100.-A-01

Circuit breakers are essential components of any electrical system, protecting electric circuits from dangerous overcurrents or faults. They are essential for the safety of any electrical system, providing a switch that can be opened and closed to interrupt the flow of electricity, preventing catastrophic system failure due to overheating components or dangerous excess currents. The IELK111-1-62-100.-A-01 circuit breaker is a single-pole, two-position, thermal-magnetic type that can be utilized for overcurrent protection.

Application Field

The IELK111-1-62-100.-A-01 circuit breaker is designed for use as an overcurrent protection device in residential, commercial and industrial applications. The breaker is specifically designed to protect individual circuits and loads in systems that are rated at 100A, 240V. The breaker is rated for indoor use only and cannot be used in hazardous locations. The breaker also features a range of trip settings, allowing users to customize the operation of the breaker to meet their specific needs.

Working Principle

The IELK111-1-62-100.-A-01 circuit breaker operates on the principle of thermal-magnetic protection. In order to protect a circuit from dangerous overcurrents or faults, the breaker is equipped with both a thermal sensing element and a magnetic trip element. The thermal sensing element is designed to detect current flowing through the breaker as it begins to rise, and increase the resistance in order for the breaker to trip (open). The magnetic trip element is designed to react to an abrupt change in current that is indicative of a fault, such as a short circuit.

Once the current reaches a predetermined limit, either the thermal element or the magnetic element will act as a switch and cause the circuit breaker to trip, thus interrupting the dangerous current. In order to reset the circuit breaker, users must push the reset button which will reset the thermal and magnetic elements and open the contacts of the breaker, allowing electrical current to pass through again.

Conclusion

The IELK111-1-62-100.-A-01 circuit breaker is a single-pole, two-position, thermal-magnetic type designed for overcurrent protection in residential, commercial and industrial applications. The breaker is rated for indoor use and is capable of protecting systems with up to 100A, 240V. The breaker operates on the principle of thermal-magnetic protection, and features both a thermal sensing element and a magnetic trip element that can detect dangerous overcurrents or faults and quickly open the circuit breaker, thus preventing catastrophic equipment failure.
