IUG6662-34102-1 Circuit Protection

The IUG6662-34102-1 class of circuit breakers are designed for low voltage applications, and are used mainly for industrial, commercial, or residential applications.

A circuit breaker is a switch designed to protect an electrical circuit against overloads and short circuits. By automatically disconnecting a circuit when current flow exceeds safe levels, the circuit breaker prevents electrical fires, damage to wiring, and electrical shocks from occurring.

The IUG6662-34102-1 circuit breaker is a thermal-magnetic type. It uses two separate mechanisms to detect abnormal current flow. The thermal part of the breaker is sensitive to high current, and the magnetic part detects momentary overloads. These two mechanisms work together to provide efficient protection.

When high current is detected, the thermal part of the breaker kicks in and trips the breaker into its off position. This happens very quickly, and the circuit is isolated from the flow of electrical current. To reset the breaker, the user must physically move the switch back to the on position.

The magnetic part of the breaker is designed to deal with momentary overloads. This includes surges, such as those caused by motor starting. When this type of surge is detected, the breaker does not trip immediately. Instead, it trips after a few seconds, allowing the surge to pass safely, and preventing unnecessary tripping.

The IUG6662-34102-1 circuit breaker is rated at 100 volts and 15 amps. This means that it is suitable for use on circuits with a voltage of up to 100 volts at 15 amps. It is UL approved, and is suitable for use in residential, commercial, and industrial applications.

The IUG6662-34102-1 circuit breaker is a reliable and cost-effective way to protect circuits against overloads and short circuits. It is easy to install and requires minimal maintenance, making it an ideal choice for industrial, commercial, and residential applications.
