IPA-6-35354-20-T

A circuit breaker is a device used to protect an electrical circuit from becoming overloaded. This can occur due to the introduction of an intermittent short circuit, or the sudden start of a high-power appliance. The IPa-6-35354-20-T breaker is a basic style of circuit breaker that is designed to protect a single circuit, typically a 15A/120V residential circuit.The most common use of the IPa-6-35354-20-T circuit breaker is in residential wiring. When installed in the main circuit panel of a home, the breaker trips if the circuit becomes overloaded. This prevents the wiring from becoming damaged due to the added current. The breaker will typically reset after the overload has been cleared, allowing the circuit to return to normal.Other applications of the IPa-6-35354-20-T circuit breaker could include but are not limited to commercial applications, such as protecting heating/cooling systems in large buildings, as well as automotive and marine applications. It can also be used to protect pumps and motors used in industrial settings.The working principle of the IPa-6-35354-20-T circuit breaker is based on a simple thermal magnetic action. This is achieved with the use of a thermal-magnetic trip unit. The trip unit contains a current sensing device and a thermal magnetic device. When the current in the protected circuit exceeds the preset value, the trip unit will activate and rapidly open the contacts of the circuit breaker, effectively breaking the circuit and stopping the flow of current.The IPa-6-35354-20-T circuit breaker is easy to install, being designed for use with a single basic circuit. It also offers a high level of safety, with quick relays and a dual-sensing method, which further reduces the risk of undesired trips.Overall, the IPa-6-35354-20-T circuit breaker provides an efficient and cost-effective solution for protecting a basic electrical circuit from overloads and is ideal for use in residential, commercial, as well as automotive and marine applications. Its simple thermal-magnetic action makes it a reliable choice, offering both safety and convenience.
