LELK1-36171-3031-V

Circuit breakers are devices designed to protect cables and wiring from damage caused by overloads or short circuits. This is achieved by interrupting the flow of electricity in the same way as a regular switch, but with the added protection from a breakable link or fuse. The LELK1-36171-3031-V circuit breaker is a good example of this type of device.

The LELK1-36171-3031-V is a three-phase, wide band, circuit breaker rated for a maximum current of 630A. It is suitable for areas with low to medium electrical power demand, such as industrial, commercial, residential and agricultural applications. It is also capable of switching through high voltage levels of up to 1000V.

In operation, the circuit breaker is designed to detect any overcurrent or short circuit situation and interrupt the electrical supply to the affected area. The device works by using a combination of thermal and magnetic principles.

The device contains both electromagnets and bimetallic strips. When current flows through the device, the electromagnets create a strong magnetic field which is detected by the bimetallic strips. As the current increases, the strips heat up and expand, which in turn causes the contacts within the device to move apart, which effectively breaks the circuit and turns off the electrical supply.

The device can also be manually operated by moving the operating handle. This will cause the contacts to separate, which in turn will break the circuit and cause the device to turn off.

The LELK1-36171-3031-V is designed for both indoor and outdoor use. It is designed to be mounted onto a DIN rail, which makes installation and maintenance much easier. The device is also designed to be dust and dirt resistant, making it suitable for use in harsh or dusty environments.

In conclusion, the LELK1-36171-3031-V is an effective, reliable and safe circuit breaker designed for low- to medium-current applications. It is suitable for both indoor and outdoor use and has a range of features and protection options to suit a variety of applications.
