Circuit Breakers

A circuit breaker is an electrical or mechanical device designed to provide over-current and short-circuit protection for an electrical system. They are essential components in all electrical power distribution systems and are used to protect circuits and equipment from damage due to over-current and short-circuits. This article will discuss the application field and working principle of a particular type of circuit breaker, the LELBXK1-36623-100-V.

Application Field

The LELBXK1-36623-100-V is a compact, high performance circuit breaker suitable for use in a variety of applications including industrial, commercial, residential, and agricultural. It is designed for use in low-voltage AC or DC power distribution systems, such as those used in buildings or electrical networks. It is rated for a maximum continuous current of 100A and a voltage rating of 600 volts AC or DC.

Working Principle

The LELBXK1-36623-100-V circuit breaker works by detecting the amount of current in the electrical circuit and automatically cutting it off when the amount detected exceeds the breaker’s rated maximum ampacity. A core component of this circuit breaker is the trip mechanism which is designed to open the contacts of the breaker in the event of an overload or short circuit. The breaker is equipped with a thermal-magnetic device which acts as the trip mechanism. This device consists of two sections, one thermal and the other magnetic. The thermal section is composed of a heat-sensitive element which monitors the temperature rises in the circuit and trips the breaker upon reaching a set point. The magnetic section consists of a coil which produces an electromagnetic field when the current in the circuit exceeds the breaker’s rated maximum. Thiselectromagnetic field actuates the trip mechanism and opens the breaker.

Conclusion

The LELBXK1-36623-100-V circuit breaker is a versatile and efficient piece of equipment that can be used for a variety of applications. It is designed for use in low-voltage AC or DC power distribution systems, ensuring reliable over-current and short-circuit protection. Its trip mechanism works by detecting the amount of current in the electrical circuit and automatically cutting it off when the amount detected exceeds the breaker’s rated maximum. It is a reliable and cost-effective solution for protecting electrical systems and circuits from damage due to over-currents and short-circuits.
