Circuit Breakers: IUGN22-2REC5-40084-1

A circuit breaker is an electrical device used to control and protect electric circuits. It is used to disconnect an electric circuit during overload or short circuit, and to protect equipment from overcurrent damage. Circuit breakers are also known as “fuse boxes” or “breaker panels”. The IUGN22-2REC5-40084-1 is a type of circuit breaker used for a wide range of applications.

Application Fields

The IUGN22-2REC5-40084-1 is suitable for applications requiring low to medium-high protection. It is widely used in industrial and commercial settings, such as in lighting and distribution boards. It is also suitable for use in motor control circuits, power plants, substations and industrial machinery.

Working Principle

The IUGN22-2REC5-40084-1 consists of two main components: a thermal cutout and an alloy trip bar. The thermal cutout is a heating element that acts as a switch. When the current in the circuit exceeds its rated value, it will heat up and trip the contact. The trip bar is made of a special alloy which expands when exposed to heat. As it expands, it pushes against a spring-loaded switch and trips the breaker. This mechanism helps to protect the circuit from overcurrent, thermal overload, and short circuits.

The IUGN22-2REC5-40084-1 can be set to trip at a certain current level. This is monitored by a magnetic trip circuit, which consists of a coil and a switch. When the current reaches the pre-set level, the coil generates a magnetic field which trips the switch and opens the circuit. This protects the circuit from dangerous high currents.

Installation

Due to its small size, the IUGN22-2REC5-40084-1 can be easily installed in a panelboard. It should be installed in a way that it is easily accessible for maintenance or replacement. The circuit breaker should also be tested periodically to ensure it is working correctly.

Conclusion

The IUGN22-2REC5-40084-1 is a reliable and efficient circuit breaker. It is suitable for a wide range of applications and its small size makes it easy to install in a panelboard. Its thermal cutout and alloy trip bar protect the circuit from overcurrent, thermal overload and short circuits, so it can be trusted to provide reliable protection for electrical systems.
