IUG1-1-61-12.0-01-U

Circuit Breakers are the most important pieces of electrical equipment in the world. They are used in both residential and industrial settings to protect from dangerous electrical overloads and short circuits. The IUG1-1-61-12.0-01-U is a type of circuit breaker in particular, unique in its design and application. This article aims to detail the application field and working principle of this type of breaker so as to provide a better understanding of its function.

The IUG1-1-61-12.0-01-U circuit breaker is mainly used in low-voltage power distribution applications. It is most notably installed in positions requiring a high degree of safety. It is suitable for the control of motors, transformers, welding devices, and other similar circuits. Additionally, it can be used for AC 50/60Hz, rated currents of up to 125A and rated voltage of 400V. It has a short-circuit capacity of 10kA. Its thermal-magnetic protective element is designed to detect and respond quickly to electrical overloads and short circuits.

The working principle of the IUG1-1-61-12.0-01-U circuit breaker is based on the thermal-magnetic principle. This principle involves a combination of thermal and magnetic responses. The thermal response is the result of the heating of the protective elements. As current passes through the breaker, heat is generated in the elements and causes them to expand. When the thermal response is triggered, the breaker trips automatically to disconnect the circuit it is protecting. The other part of the thermal-magnetic principle is the magnetic response. Unlike the thermal response, the magnetic response is caused by an increase in the current level. When the current reaches a certain level, the magnetic field generated by the breaker is activated and the breaker trips to disconnect the circuit.

In addition to the thermal and magnetic responses, the IUG1-1-61-12.0-01-U circuit breaker also has an electronic control aspect. This electronic control allows the breaker to operate more reliably and efficiently. It also helps to reduce the risk of tripping the breaker due to a false positive or too small of an overloads. The electronic control also allows the breaker to be self-testing and able to detect most faults before they cause damage to the circuit.

The IUG1-1-61-12.0-01-U circuit breaker is an incredibly reliable piece of equipment. Its combination of thermal, magnetic, and electronic responsive features make it perfect for low-voltage power distribution applications that require a high level of safety. Its thermal-magnetic protective elements are designed to detect and respond quickly to overloads and short circuits, making it one of the most reliable circuit breakers available today.
