IPAH-666-1-62-5.00-A-01-T

Circuit breakers are safety devices designed to protect electrical systems from damage due to an overload or a short circuit. They automatically switch off a portion of the electrical circuit to protect the system from damage and help to prevent the spread of fires and other hazardous situations. The Ipath 666-1-62-5.00-A-01-T is a type of circuit breaker designed to work in a particular application field and provide a particular working principle.

Application Field

The Ipath 666-1-62-5.00-A-01-T is designed for use in residential installations, such as single-family homes and condominiums. It is suitable for use in applications in which the circuit load is relatively constant, such as lighting and heating. The circuit breaker is UL 1077 qualified, meaning that it has been tested to meet the safety standards of Underwriters Laboratories Inc. (UL).

Working Principle

The Ipath 666-1-62-5.00-A-01-T is a thermal-magnetic circuit breaker. This means that it combines a thermal trip element (a bimetal device that monitors and controls current flow) and a magnetic trip element (which measures the amount of current being drawn by the appliance and responds by shutting off the power). When an overload or short circuit is detected, the thermal trip element will heat up and cause the breaker to trip, while the magnetic trip element will respond to the sudden surge of current and open the breaker.

The breaker is designed to adjust the amount of current it allows to pass through, depending on the temperature of the circuit and its load. This is known as thermal-magnetic overcurrent protection. This type of protection ensures that the circuit is not overloaded, even when the load is constantly changing, and that any fault current is quickly and safely shut off.

Conclusion

The Ipath 666-1-62-5.00-A-01-T is a thermal-magnetic circuit breaker specifically designed for residential installations such as single-family homes and condominiums. The breaker combines a thermal trip element and a magnetic trip element to provide reliable thermal-magnetic overcurrent protection. This ensures that the circuit is not overloaded, even when the load is constantly changing, and that any fault current is quickly and safely shut off.
