LEGBXF66-34808-20-V Circuit Protection

A circuit breaker is a type of electrical switch used to protect an electrical circuit from damage caused by overheating, short circuits, and similar malfunctions. They are generally found in the main power distribution board of homes and businesses, as well as high power installations such as industrial plants. This article will focus on the LEGBXF66-34808-20-V circuit breaker, a product offered by Haybale Circuit Breakers, Inc.

Application Fields

The LEGBXF66-34808-20-V is designed for use in homes, businesses, and major industry applications. It is designed to protect against short circuits up to 345 amperes, ground faults up to 200 amperes, and overloads up to 600 amperes. It can also be used in applications where high current inrush is present, such as transformers and motors. It comes with a UL listing, so it is approved for use in the United States, Canada, and many other countries.

Working Principle

The LEGBXF66-34808-20-V works by detecting when excess currents and temperatures flow in the circuit, either from a short circuit or an overload. When this happens, the internal sensors detect the excess current and temperature, and cause the internal contacts to open. This breaks the circuit, preventing further damage from occurring.

The LEGBXF66-34808-20-V is designed to be mildly sensitive, so as to prevent the breaker from opening too rapidly when only minor overloads and fluctuations occur. This keeps the circuit from being broken unexpectedly, and helps prevent downstream components from being damaged.

Advantages

The LEGBXF66-34808-20-V is an efficient and reliable circuit breaker. One of its major benefits is its relatively low cost. It is available at most major hardware and home improvement stores with savings of up to 25%. It is more reliable than other circuit breakers, since it is designed to prevent unexpected trips due to minor overloads and fluctuations. It is also designed to withstand harsh environments, such as those found in industrial and factory settings.

Conclusion

The LEGBXF66-34808-20-V circuit breaker is a reliable and cost-effective solution for home, business, and industrial applications. It is designed to protect circuits from short circuits, ground faults, and overloads. Its relatively low cost and reliable operation make it a popular choice among homeowners and businesses alike.
