IUGBXF6-32101-20

Circuit breakers make electrical systems safer by providing an essential overcurrent protection feature. They are designed as a last line of defence against short circuits and current-induced overloads caused by wiring faults or other faults. One such circuit breaker model is the IUGBXF6-32101-20.

Application Field

In the field of electrical protection, the IUGBXF6-32101-20 is used as a will-make circuit breaker. It is especially suitable for applications where current has to be switched under fault conditions. For instance, it can be used to protect motors from current overloads due to short circuits or wiring errors. It can also be used to protect transformers against excessive current. Furthermore, it is capable of interrupting both alternating and direct current.

Working Principle

The IUGBXF6-32101-20 circuit breaker works on the basis of magnetic-thermal trip technology. This technology combines the response speed of a magnetic trip unit with the accuracy of a thermal trip unit. It consists of two bimetallic strips that act like miniature springs. Due to the current flowing through them, the bimetallic strips heat up and expand until they reach a certain thermal trip point. At this point, the circuit breaker trips, thus protecting the electrical system against overloads and short circuits.

The current rating of the IUGBXF6-32101-20 is 32 amperes, and the voltage rating is AC230/400/440 V. It has a short circuit current rating of 10kA, and the electrical life cycle is up to 10,000 operations. The trip time is 9.0 seconds for an overload of 500%, and 90 seconds for an overload of 600%.

Conclusion

The IUGBXF6-32101-20 circuit breaker is a high-performance solution for protection against short circuits, wiring faults and overloads. It combines the speed of a magnetic trip unit with the accuracy and overload capacity of a thermal trip unit. With its high current rating and long electrical life cycle, it is a reliable and cost-effective solution for electrical protection.
