Circuit Breakers are without doubt one of the most important components in electrical engineering, as it can provide a primary and permanent protection for electric circuits. The IUG1-1-61-1.00-C-01 circuit breaker is specially designed for monitoring, control and protection of electrical equipment and systems. In this article, we will explore its application field and working principle.
Application Field
The IUG1-1-61-1.00-C-01 circuit breaker is mainly applicable for 50/60 Hz, AC 660V power distribution circuit, residential and commercial buildings and industrial control equipment. It is mainly used for overload and short circuit protection in both direct current and alternating current. Moreover, it is also suitable for motor and air compressor protection, as well as conducting regular inspection, maintenance and testing.
Working Principle
The IUG1-1-61-1.00-C-01 circuit breaker relies on an externally running motor to move its contacts. When the motor is triggered by a set of conditions, it works to close or open the connected circuit. When the current in the line exceeds its set limit, the overload relay triggers the electric motor and quickly disconnects the electric power supply. Then, the mechanism within the breaker trips the mechanical contacts which is essential for electric safety. Furthermore, the overload relay can also reset the circuit breaker and resume the circulation of electric current in the line.
Conclusion
The IUG1-1-61-1.00-C-01 circuit breaker is an indispensable component for monitoring, controlling and protecting electric devices and systems. It can effectively limit the scope of current circuit overload or short circuit and protect operators and property from harm. It is used in an extensive range of applications, from residential and commercial buildings to industrial control. Moreover, its working principle is also quite simple, depending on the motor to run external contacts and reset the system when faults occur.
