Introduction
The LEG6-1-63F-30.0-01 circuit breaker is a specialized device used to automatically interrupt electric current in the event of an overload or a short circuit. It is also used to protect a circuit from damage caused by high levels of current. This type of circuit breaker is used in residential, commercial and industrial locations and is available in various ratings.
Application Field
The LEG6-1-63F-30.0-01 circuit breaker is designed for residential, commercial and industrial applications. It is rated for 240 Volts AC and is suitable for heavy and hazardous duty applications. This circuit breaker is ideal for use in factories and other manufacturing plants as well as for protection on high voltage systems.
This circuit breaker can also be used in a variety of other applications such as boat, ship, car and RV applications. In boats, ships and RV,s this circuit breaker is used to protect electrical equipment and wiring from over-voltage and short-circuits. In automobiles, the LEG6-1-63F-30.0-01 circuit breaker is used in another electrical system, such as the air bag.
Working Principle
The LEG6-1-63F-30.0-01 circuit breaker is designed to protect a circuit from damage caused by overcurrents. The device has a fixed or adjustable trip point that is set at or near the maximum current that is expected to flow through the circuit. When the current levels reach or exceed the set trip point, a bimetallic strip or other solid state component will be heated and expand, breaking an internal circuit and interrupting the flow of electricity.
The LEG6-1-63F-30.0-01 circuit breaker also has an internal thermal overload protection feature that is designed to protect electrical components from overheating. This feature uses a thermal sensitive element to detect the temperature rise within the breaker and will close the circuit if the temperature reaches an unsafe level.
Conclusion
The LEG6-1-63F-30.0-01 circuit breaker is a versatile device used in residential, commercial and industrial locations to protect circuits from overcurrents and short-circuits. It is ideal for use in a wide range of applications, including protection on high voltage systems and in various types of boats, ships and RVs. The device has a fixed or adjustable trip point and also an internal thermal overload protection feature.
