IUGF6-30489-10

Circuit breakers are designed to protect the electrical system from an overload of electricity. This helps avoid potential fire hazards and electrical system damage. The IUGF6-30489-10 circuit breaker is one of the most commonly used types in household and light commercial applications. It has a load capacity of 15 amps and a voltage rating of 120V AC.

The IUGF6-30489-10 is a single-pole unit. This means that it only has one switch, which is connected to a single-phase power circuit. When the circuit is overloaded the switch will trip and break the circuit, preventing any further power flow. The unit also has an internal thermal overload protection feature which can detect any current overloads before the unit trips.

This type of circuit breaker is typically used in residential applications, such as powering a single outlet, light fixtures, or an outdoor power outlet. It can also be used in small commercial applications, such as powering a small appliance or a pool light. Although the IUGF6-30489-10 is able to protect against both overloads and short circuits, it is not meant to serve as a main branch circuit breaker as it is not rated for such a large load.

The IUGF6-30489-10 circuit breaker works using a temperature sensing device. As current flows through the unit, it heats up a bimetal strip contained within the circuit breaker. This strip will expand when it reaches a certain temperature, which will cause the contacts of the circuit breaker to open and interrupt the power flow. When the current is removed, the strip will cool down and reset itself, allowing the power to be restored.

The IUGF6-30489-10 circuit breaker is a reliable and safe solution for residential and light commercial applications. It is easy to install and offers short circuit and overload protection. It is a great choice for anyone looking for a dependable and economical circuit breaker.
