Circuit Breakers

Circuit breakers are devices that provide protection against an overload or short circuit in a circuit. A circuit breaker interrupts the electrical current flowing in a circuit, disconnecting the circuit at its point of origin. This ensures that no further current can flow in the circuit, resulting in a safe and reliable circuit. For applications requiring a reliable and robust circuit breaker, LEGBX6-37058-20-V is a good option.

LEGBX6-37058-20-V Application and Working Principle

LEGBX6-37058-20-V is a circuit breaker with a current rating of 20A and voltage rating of 300V. The breaker is designed to handle applications that require reliable and consistent current limitation, including AC motors, lighting systems, and other loads. The device operates on the principle of an automatically resetting solid-state switch which is triggered when the current exceeds a set threshold. When the trigger is activated, the switch immediately disconnects the power supply, thus providing protection against an overload or short circuit.

In terms of design, the LEGBX6-37058-20-V comes in a lightweight yet durable plastic casing with a convenient testing pushbutton. The contacts of the breaker are made from premium quality materials for maximum corrosion resistance and longevity. Additionally, the breaker is compatible with a wide range of wires and cables and can be used in wet and dry conditions.

When the current exceeds the design limit, the breaker triggers a series of events. First, the current is sensed, and when it is determined to be excessive, the solid state switch is activated. This triggers the circuit breaker contacts to open and disconnect the power supply. Afterwards, when the current drops to a safe level, the contacts close and the power supply is reconnected. Additionally, the breaker can be manually triggered if required by pressing the test push button.

LEGBX6-37058-20-V circuit breaker offers superior protection against overloads and short circuits, making it the ideal choice for applications such as AC motors, lighting systems, and other loads. With its durable construction and reliable current limitation, LEGBX6-37058-20-V is the perfect option for any application requiring a reliable and robust circuit breaker.
