LEGBX1-1-61-15.0-M6-V

Circuit breakers are electrical devices designed to protect circuits from damage caused by overloads and short circuits. The LEGBX1-1-61-15.0-M6-V is one such device that is designed for specific applications and works on a simple yet reliable principle.

The LEGBX1-1-61-15.0-M6-V breaker is designed for medium and low voltage motor circuits up to 100 Amps. It was developed with a fuse-less onsite maintenance safety feature, meaning it can be safely serviced onsite without the need to replace or install a fuse. This breaker is commonly used to protect motors, transformers, feeder circuits and power transformers.

The LEGBX1-1-61-15.0-M6-V breaker works on the principle of current limitation. This means that when the current in the protected circuit exceeds a certain limit, the contacts of the breaker open to disconnect the circuit. This allows the circuit to be effectively disconnected before it can be harmed by the excessive current.

The contacts of the breaker, which open when the current exceeds a certain limit, are the movable part of the breaker, which is moved by two sets of spring-loaded trip coils. When the current in the circuit exceeds the limit, the trip coils activate and open the contacts. The breaker will then remain open until the current is reduced to a normal level and the trip coils reset.

This breaker also has a manual reset feature. This means that if the circuit is inadvertently disconnected due to an overload or a short circuit, the breaker will not automatically reset itself. Instead, the user must manually reset the breaker in order to restore power to the protected circuit.

Apart from the manual reset feature, the LEGBX1-1-61-15.0-M6-V breaker also has a built-in self-test feature. This feature allows the breaker to test its contacts and trip coils at specific intervals, and alert the user if there is any problem. This ensures that the breaker is working as it should and that it can protect the circuit in the event of any overload or short circuit.

In conclusion, the LEGBX1-1-61-15.0-M6-V is a circuit breaker specifically designed for medium and low voltage motor circuits up to 100 Amps. It works on the principle of current limitation and opens its contacts in order to disconnect the circuit when the current exceeds a certain limit. Additionally, it also has a manual reset feature and a self-test feature in order to ensure that the breaker is working as intended.
