Circuit Breakers

Circuit breakers are essential components of electrical systems that are designed to interrupt and safely manage the flow of electrical current in an electrical circuit. They protect electrical circuits from overloads and short circuits that prevent damage to components, wiring, and personal injury. The IULK1-1REC5R-66-5.50-01 is a commonly used type of circuit breaker. It is widely used in industrial and commercial electrical systems and provides reliable overcurrent protection.

Application Field

The IULK1-1REC5R-66-5.50-01 circuit breaker is primarily designed for use in low-voltage motor control applications with a rated voltage of up to 660 volts, and is suitable for protecting both single and three phase motor circuits. It is specifically designed for small motor control centers with multiple starting motors, with ratings up to 5.5 amps for single-phase circuit and up to 11.0 amps in three-phase circuits. It is also commonly used in residential applications such as fuse boxes, breaker boxes, and in commercial and industrial utility areas.

Working Principle

The IULK1-1REC5R-66-5.50-01 circuit breaker works by detecting an overcurrent or short circuit condition in the circuit and interrupting the current flow to prevent damage to the circuit. The current is detected using a current-sensing coil and is then interrupted by breaking the connection between the bus bars and the flow of electricity. The breaker has thermal-magnetic trip technology, which implements both heat-sensitive thermal element and a magnetic element. The thermal element detects any sustained overloaded currents in the circuit and triggers the breaker to open. The magnetic element detects any short-circuit currents in the circuit and triggers the breaker to open.

Advantages

The IULK1-1REC5R-66-5.50-01 circuit breaker is designed to be reliable, efficient, and cost-effective. It is also designed to be compact, making it easy to install in tight spaces. It also has a lock-out feature which prevents the breaker from being turned back on before the current situation is resolved. Additionally, the breaker has an adjustable trip setting which allows users to adjust the trip setting of the breaker depending on the current that will be passing through it.

Conclusion

The IULK1-1REC5R-66-5.50-01 circuit breaker is a reliable and cost-effective choice for many different types of low-voltage motor control applications. It offers a wide range of features and benefits which can be adjusted to fit the specific needs of the application. Its small size also makes it easy to install in tight spaces and the adjustable trip setting makes it easy to adjust for different current levels. This makes it a great choice for both residential and industrial applications.
