JLE-2-31542-150 Circuit Protection

Circuit Breakers

A circuit breaker is an electrical device designed to protect the circuit in the case of an overcurrent or overload. The JLE-2-31542-150 is a type of circuit breaker that is designed for use in residential, commercial and industrial applications. It is designed to provide reliable protection from overcurrents, short circuits, and ground faults.

Application Field

The JLE-2-31542-150 is suitable for use in a variety of applications, including industrial, commercial, residential and amperage ratings up to 150 amps. The circuit breaker is typically installed in the main panel of a building to ensure safety and provide overcurrent protection. It can also be used as a protective device in motor control circuits, air conditioning and heating systems, as well as lighting and equipment.

Working Principle

The JLE-2-31542-150 operates on the principle of the thermal-magnetic element. It has two separate components: a thermal element and a magnetic element. When the current in the protected circuit increases beyond the rated value, the amount of heat generated in the thermal element increases. This increases the temperature in the thermal element, and when the temperature reaches a certain threshold, a bimetallic strip bends and trips the breaker, breaking the circuit. The magnetic element is activated when the current exceeds its rated value. The magnetic field created by the current attracts a plunger, which is connected to the trip lever, and causes the trip lever to rotate and trip the breaker.The circuit breaker trips and opens the circuit when either of the elements trips, thus protecting the circuit from overexposure.

Safety

The JLE-2-31542-150 circuit breaker provides reliable overcurrent protection and reliable safety. The circuit breaker can be reset simply and safely after an overload or short circuit. It is also subject to regular testing and certification by Underwriters Laboratories to ensure maximum safety and quality. It is important to note that the JLE-2-31542-150 is not suitable for use in circuits with voltage exceeding 120 volts.

Conclusion

The JLE-2-31542-150 is a thermo-magnetic circuit breaker that is suitable for use in a variety of applications ranging from residential, commercial, and industrial. It is designed to provide reliable overcurrent protection and safety. The circuit breaker can be reset easily and safely after an overload or short circuit. It is also subject to regular testing and certification by Underwriters Laboratories to ensure maximum safety and quality.
