IULN11-1-61-2.50-A

Circuit breakers are specialized electrical components that help protect electronic systems from power surges, short circuits, and other hazardous electricity issues. The IULN11-1-61-2.50-A is one typical example of a circuit breaker, designed for popular applications. This article explores the application field and working principle of the IULN11-1-61-2.50-A circuit breaker.

The IULN11-1-61-2.50-A is mainly used for switching and protecting electrical wiring and equipment from overloads, short-circuits, and ground faults. This type of circuit breaker is mainly applied in circuit protection of household appliances such as air conditioners, refrigerators, washing machines, fans, lights, and treadmills. It is also suitable for use as a protector in medical facilities and industrial control systems. This circuit breaker is designed to switch off the power when it detects a hazardous current and can then be reset manually.

The operation of the IULN11-1-61-2.50-A circuit breaker relies on a combination of three separate components. The first is a spring-loaded trip lever. This is connected to two other mechanics components – the thermal element and an electromagnetic element – which are responsible for providing the breaker\'s overcurrent protection. The thermal element is a metal element that is heated by an overload current and then triggers the trip lever. The electromagnetic element is a solenoid coil that uses a magnetic field to detect dangerous currents. When the circuit detects a surge or a short circuit, the trip lever will be released and the circuit will be broken.

When the IULN11-1-61-2.50-A circuit breaker is in its normal condition, the trip lever is held in place by a spring force. An overload current, such as that caused by a short circuit will cause the thermal element and the electromagnetic element to heat up. When the elements reach a certain temperature, the trip lever will be released and the circuit will be broken. This helps protect the circuit from further damage. To reset the breaker, the trip lever needs to be manually reset.

In summary, the IULN11-1-61-2.50-A is a commonly used circuit breaker, useful in protecting electrical wiring and equipment from overloads, short-circuits, and ground faults. It works by combining three components – a spring-loaded trip lever, a thermal element and an electromagnetic element, to detect hazardous currents and trip the circuit when needed. To reset the breaker, the trip lever needs to be manually reset.
