LEGBX66-35782-15-V Circuit Protection

Circuit breakers are essential pieces of safety equipment that are used in various applications to ensure that an electrical circuit does not become overloaded. LEGBX66-35782-15-V is a type of circuit breaker that is used in electrical systems of industrial control panels. This circuit breaker is designed for voltage ratings up to 440 volts AC, and has a rating of DC 120 volts. It is a manual reset and is designed with a simple lever-operated mechanism for resetting.

Application of the LEGBX66-35782-15-V Circuit Breaker

The LEGBX66-35782-15-V circuit breaker is suitable for use in a variety of electrical circuits, including motor circuits and lighting circuits, where it is necessary to provide protection from overloads and short circuits. It is also suitable for use in control circuits and relay circuits. The LEGBX66-35782-15-V is certified for UL and CSA listed installations and is designed for low current draws with a trip current of 15A. In addition, it is suitable for use in energy management or lighting systems, such as fluorescent fixtures and ceiling fans.

Working Principle of the LEGBX66-35782-15-V Circuit Breaker

The working principle of the LEGBX66-35782-15-V circuit breaker is quite simple. When it\'s installed in a circuit, it will detect excessive currents, short circuits, and will cut off the current if the current exceeds the set limit. This prevents the circuit from becoming overloaded or damaged. The resetting is done manually and involves lifting the latch and releasing the spring-loaded reset button.

The LEGBX66-35782-15-V circuit breaker also has a low-voltage sensing device, which is useful when the breaker is connected to a low-voltage electrical system. If the voltage drops below a certain level, the device will detect this and automatically switch off the power supply. This feature is particularly useful in applications where voltage fluctuations are likely, as it will prevent the electrical system from being damaged by spikes or surges of power.

The protective features of the LEGBX66-35782-15-V circuit breaker make it an ideal choice for use in many circuits. It provides an effective solution to the problems of overloads and short-circuits, while the low-voltage sensing device ensures that the system remains protected in the event of a power surge. As such, it is a highly versatile and reliable circuit breaker that offers a great deal of protection for electrical systems.
