LEGBXF66-34709-20-V

Circuit Breakers are an important component of industrial electrical systems, protecting machines and other components against potentially damaging power surges or shorts. The LEGBXF66-34709-20-V is a type of circuit breaker designed to protect circuits drawing a maximum of 20 amps. It features a trip-free design and an adjustable overload trip setting, making it appropriate for applications ranging from industrial to residential power distribution.

The circuit breaker is designed to \'trip\' and cut off the power supply to a given circuit when it reads a current that exceeds or runs higher than what has been set. This is useful in the event of a short-circuit, where an excessive amount of current is flowing as a result of a faulty connection. This dangerous situation can cause serious damage to the system if not contained quickly, and so the breaking of the circuit is an important safety measure.

The LEGBXF66-34709-20-V circuit breaker consists of a metallic casing containing a copper wire, running through the side of the casing from top to bottom. This copper wire is connected to both the input and output terminals, allowing the wire to become electrically charged whenever the breaker\'s switch is turned on. When such an electrical event occurs, an electromagnet is activated and begins pulling the breaker\'s handle, which in turn opens the breaker, allowing the voltage to drop to a safe level.

The adjustable overload trip setting is vital for ensuring that the circuit breaker will trip when necessary, yet not be overly sensitive or trip unnecessarily. The manufacturer recommends a setting of between 5 to 15 amps over the rated resistance, depending on the application. This adjustable setting helps to ensure that the circuit breaker will trip at an accurately calculated resistance and current clamped to the system.

The LEGBXF66-34709-20-V circuit breaker is designed for industrial applications. It is designed for direct-mounting into a control box or an open-style, low-voltage distribution cabinet. It is also designed for operation in hazardous locations, with a three-pole switch configuration capable of switching line, neutral, and ground wires. The circuit breaker is UL 1077 recognized and UL489/UL67 listed.

In summary, the LEGBXF66-34709-20-V circuit breaker ​is a small, efficient and reliable piece of equipment that is designed for use in various industrial applications. It is very easy to install and set up, and its adjustable overload trip setting allows it to be tailored to the particular demands of the application. Furthermore, it is very reliable and has a high safety rating, allowing it to confidently protect the system throughout its operational life.
