Circuit Breakers

The LMLC1-1REC4-24314-58-V is a type of circuit breaker, a critical component in any electrical system. Its primary purpose is to disconnect power when current levels exceed specified values that might otherwise cause damage or malfunction. There are two main types of circuit breaker: thermal and magnetic circuit breakers. The LMLC1-1REC4-24314-58-V is a thermal circuit breaker.

Application Field and Working Principle

Thermal circuit breakers are used in many applications, including motors, pumps, compressors, transformers, and other systems in both residential and industrial settings. They are designed to detect and respond to sudden increases in current along the electrical circuit, such as those associated with an overload or short circuit. The LMLC1-1REC4-24314-58-V has been designed specifically for high-current applications like large-scale industrial motors and pumps.

In a thermal circuit breaker, the sensing element is a bimetallic strip that is heated by the electric current flowing through it. When the current reaches a certain level, the strip bends, which activates the circuit breaker and opens the electrical contacts, thus disconnecting the power. The LMLC1-1REC4-24314-58-V features a trip curve that is adjustable, allowing the user to configure the amount of current required to trip the breaker. This is a valuable feature, allowing the breaker to be customized for specific applications and to prevent it from tripping during normal operation.

The LMLC1-1REC4-24314-58-V is also designed to provide thermal protection, preventing the circuit from being overloaded. It is rated at up to 90 amps and acts as a backup protection against thermal overloads. The breaker is designed to be used with standard 600-V residential and industrial circuits, making it a versatile and cost-effective solution for many applications.

Conclusion

The LMLC1-1REC4-24314-58-V is a thermal circuit breaker designed for use in high-current applications like large-scale industrial and residential motors, pumps, and compressors. It features an adjustable trip curve, allowing the user to customize the amount of current required to trip the breaker to prevent it from tripping during normal operation. It is also designed to provide thermal protection, preventing the circuit from being overloaded. The LMLC1-1REC4-24314-58-V is a versatile and cost-effective solution for many applications.
