LELPK11-36884-110-V

Circuit breakers are an essential part of electrical systems designed to protect against overloads, short circuits, and faulty wiring. The LELPK11-36884-110-V is a specific type of circuit breaker specifically designed to protect high current circuits. This article will discuss the application field and working principle of this particular circuit breaker.

Application field

The LELPK11-36884-110-V is a mid-range circuit breaker that is capable of handling up to 110 Amps and is designed to protect circuits that require more current than ordinary breakers can handle. This makes it ideal for applications such as electric welders, electrical motors, air conditioners, refrigerators, and power saws. It is also widely used in commercial installations, such as in manufacturing and industrial settings.

Working Principle

The LELPK11-36884-110-V circuit breaker works by detecting abrupt rises in current and automatically cutting off power when a certain threshold is exceeded. This threshold is adjustable, allowing the user to adjust the sensitivity to match their specific application. When a current surge occurs, the circuit breaker’s contacts open, cutting off the current and preventing an overload. The circuit can then be reset either manually or through an automatic reset.

The circuit breaker has a built-in thermal overload protection that trips if the temperature in the circuit exceeds a certain point. It also uses a bimetal disk that deforms when heated, causing the contacts to open and trip the circuit. This thermal overload protection helps prevent damages to the system due to excessive temperatures.

In addition to its overload protection, the LELPK11-36884-110-V also offers short circuit protection. When a circuit has a short in it, the breaker detects the sudden surge in current and quickly cuts off power to prevent further damage.

Conclusion

The LELPK11-36884-110-V is a mid-range circuit breaker that is designed to protect circuits where current levels exceed those of ordinary breakers. It is commonly used in industrial settings, as well as in applications such as welding, motors, refrigeration, and power saws. The breaker provides both overload and short circuit protection, making it an ideal choice for use in high current circuits.
