Circuit Breakers
The LELBX1-38872-20-V Circuit Breaker is a safety device that is used in the protection of electrical wiring and equipment from damage due to overload or short circuit. In other words, the circuit breaker "trips" and turns off the power when an abnormality or an overload is detected. To put it simply, the main purpose of this device is to provide safety and prevent any electrical fires by preventing excessive current flow.
Application Field
The LELBX1-38872-20-V Circuit Breaker is designed for general purpose indoor use and is suitable for residential, commercial and light industrial applications. It is mainly used in places where a circuit breaker is necessary to provide overcurrent protection, such as homes, offices, business premises and industrial plants. For example, in offices, the circuit breaker is usually installed in the panel to protect the connected loads from overloads and short circuits. It can also be used in industrial applications like electrical motors, capacitors and other equipment where safety is paramount. It provides protection from the risks of overloading an electrical circuit.
Working Principle
The working of a circuit breaker is based on simple electromechanical principles. The circuit breaker has an electromagnet that is activated when it senses an overload or a short circuit. This electromagnet is then used to trip the breaker, which causes a spring-loaded mechanism to trip and open the circuit, thus stopping the flow of electricity. The circuit breaker then automatically resets itself when the overload has been detected and eliminated.
The LELBX1-38872-20-V Circuit Breaker has a voltage rating of 240V/480 VAC and it is UL 1077 & CSA 22.2 certified, which means it has been tested for performance and safety in accordance with the standards of Underwriters Laboratories. This circuit breaker can also trip on an overload of 15A, which makes it ideal for residential and light industrial applications.
In conclusion, the LELBX1-38872-20-V Circuit Breaker is a reliable and affordable safety device that is designed to protect electrical wiring and equipment from damage due to overload or short circuit. It is suitable for residential, commercial and light industrial applications and provides protection from the risks of overloading an electrical circuit.
