JTEP-6-1REC4-53F-1-F1-1200 Circuit Protection

Circuit Breakers

Circuit breakers are designed to interrupt current flow when an electrical circuit is overloaded or short-circuited. When this happens, the circuit breaker detects the excess current, and the contact opens, interrupting the current flow and protecting the circuit from further damage. One such type of circuit breaker is the JTEP-6-1REC4-53F-1-F1-1200.

Application Field

The JTEP-6-1REC4-53F-1-F1-1200 circuit breaker is designed for over-current protection in low-voltage power applications, including industrial equipment, pumps, water heater systems, and HVAC systems. This type of circuit breaker can also be used as a disconnect switch in residential and other small commercial applications. Furthermore, this type of circuit breaker is UL and cUL listed, making it an ideal solution for many power protection requirements.

Working Principle

The JTEP-6-1REC4-53F-1-F1-1200 circuit breaker is designed with a special magnetic tripping system that senses when the current traveling through the circuit exceeds the maximum rated current. When this happens, the magnetic field generated by the current causes the contact arm of the circuit breaker to move and open the contact, thereby interrupting the current flow. This mechanism ensures that the finish current is quickly and safely interrupted, protecting the equipment and the downstream circuitry. Additionally, the circuit breaker is designed with an audible tripping mechanism that provides an extra level of safety by warning the user whenever the breaker trips.

Additional Features

The JTEP-6-1REC4-53F-1-F1-1200 circuit breaker also offers several additional features that provide a higher level of safety and convenience. For instance, the breaker incorporates an automatic reset function that enables the breaker to reset automatically after a short delay once the excess current is no longer present. This feature is beneficial in many applications, as it eliminates the need for the user to manually reset the breaker and ensures that the power is restored as quickly as possible. Additionally, the circuit breaker is designed with an integral over-voltage protection device to ensure that the downstream circuit is not affected by voltage spikes.

In addition to the features mentioned above, the JTEP-6-1REC4-53F-1-F1-1200 circuit breaker also comes equipped with other safety features, such as visual indication of trip and reset status, thermal overload protection, and short circuit protection. All of these features combine to make this type of circuit breaker an ideal solution for low voltage power applications.
