LELZXK12-1REC4-33158-1-V

Circuit breakers are a key component of any electrical system. They help to protect components and people from shocks and fires that could be caused by overloads, surges and short-circuits. The LELZXK12-1REC4-33158-1-V is one such circuit breaker, and it is important to understand its application field and working principle.

The LELZXK12-1REC4-33158-1-V is a single-pole, non-combination circuit breaker with a voltage rating of 120/240 volts and a current rating of 15 amps. The breaker is designed for residential and light commercial applications. It is UL listed and CSA certified, and it meets all UL and CSA requirements for overcurrent protection.

The basic working principle of this breaker is magnetic-hydraulic. The breaker is triggered by an electromagnet; when an overload, surge or short-circuit occurs, the electromagnet\'s coil is energized, creating a magnetic field that pulls the breaker\'s tripping mechanism into action. The trip mechanism then closes a hydraulic valve that momentarily restricts the flow of oil in the breaker, thereby disconnecting the circuit.

The LELZXK12-1REC4-33158-1-V breaker also features shunt trip technology. Shunt trip trippers, when exposed to a specific voltage or electric current, activate a mechanical trip mechanism that closes the circuit breaker\'s hydraulic valve, thus disconnecting the circuit. This technology allows for remote control of the circuit breaker, as the shunt trip can be used to manually or automatically trigger the breaker, making it an ideal solution for controlling multiple circuits from a central location.

The LELZXK12-1REC4-33158-1-V is typically used in residential and light commercial applications to protect electrical components from overloads, surges and short-circuits. Its rugged construction and magnetic-hydraulic trip mechanism make it a reliable and durable breaker, while its shunt trip technology makes it an ideal solution for controlling multiple circuits from a central location.
