Circuit Breakers - R11-4-5.00A-W201CH Application Field and Working Principles

Circuit breakers are devices used to protect electrical circuits from damage caused by the excessive current of an overload or short circuit. Excessive current could melt wires, damage electrical devices and even cause fires. The R11-4-5.00A-W201CH circuit breaker is a two-pole, thermal-magnetic version. It is designed for such domestic, commercial and light industrial applications as lighting, heating and general-purpose circuits.

Application Field

The R11-4-5.00A-W201CH circuit breaker is certified by VDE and is suited for use in 50Hz or 60Hz installations compliant with the standards IEC60898-1, VDE0664-408, HD384 and EN60439-1. It is most commonly found installed in domestic, commercial and light industrial applications to protect lighting, heating and general purpose circuits.

Working Principle

The R11-4-5.00A-W201CH is a Type C (thermal-magnetic) circuit breaker. This type of circuit breaker provides protection against an overload (thermal protection) as well as protection against a direct short-circuit (magnetic protection). The thermal protection works by monitoring the current flowing through the device. If the current is above the rated current for a certain length of time, the thermal protection element trips the circuit breaker, disconnecting the circuit and preventing further overload damage.The magnetic protection works differently. It is a direct short circuit protection mechanism. This works by monitoring the current flowing through the circuit. If the current is higher than the rated value of the circuit breaker for a fraction of a second, the electromagnetic element will trip and disconnect the circuit, even if the overload current is not high enough to trip the thermal element. In addition, the R11-4-5.00A-W201CH also has a standard built-in shunt trip mechanism. This means that the circuit breaker can be used as an isolated switch and be remotely tripped using an external signal such as a magnetic switch or a solenoid.

Conclusion

The R11-4-5.00A-W201CH circuit breaker is a two-pole thermal-magnetic version designed for domestic, commercial and light industrial applications. It is certified by VDE and complies with the standards IEC60898-1, VDE0664-408, HD384 and EN60439-1. It provides protection against overload and direct short circuit as well as a shunt trip mechanism for remote tripping of the circuit breaker.
