IUGN6-34333-20

Circuit Breakers

Circuit breakers are designed to protect homes and businesses from the devastating effects of electrical overload. According to UL 489, the industry standard, circuit breakers are designed to automatically detect and interrupt the flow of current in an overload or short circuit condition. A circuit breaker is a type of switch that automatically interrupts the electrical flow to prevent damage to a connected circuit in the event of an overload or short circuit.

The IUGN6-34333-20 circuit breaker is a high-current circuit breaker designed for reliable operation in harsh environments. It is a UL 489 Listed device, capable of interrupting nominal currents of up to 20A in less than 4 milliseconds. The IUGN6-34333-20 is a 3 pole, 3 wire, 240Vac circuit breaker and can provide protection circuit integrity (PCI). With the IUGN6-34333-20, you can be sure of reliable protection against short-circuit, overload and ground-fault conditions in all applications, from residential to light industrial.

Working Principle of IUGN6-34333-20

The IUGN6-34333-20 circuit breaker is designed to trip when current passing through it is high enough to cause damage. The trip current setting for the device is determined by an internal thermal/magnetic switch called an overcurrent trip unit. When the trip current is exceeded, the bimetallic element inside the trip unit heats up, expanding and closing the contacts of the trip unit. This, in turn, blocks the flow of current, thereby protecting the circuit.

The IUGN6-34333-20 also has the ability to detect and trip on ground-fault conditions. Ground faults occur when current flows to ground, and this can cause damage to equipment and possibly electrocution to personnel. The IUGN6-34333-20 uses a ground-fault trip unit to detect and respond to any ground-fault conditions that may occur. If a ground fault is present, the trip unit will open the contacts and block the current flow, protecting personnel and equipment.

The unique features of the IUGN6-34333-20 make it ideal for use in residential, commercial, and light industrial applications. It is perfect for applications requiring protection circuit integrity (PCI) for critical loads, such as medical and industrial applications. The IUGN6-34333-20 is reliable, cost-effective, and easy to install. It is the perfect choice for applications that require fast and reliable protection against electrical overload, short circuits, and ground-fault conditions.
