UPG1-25758-5 Circuit Protection

Circuit Breakers

A circuit breaker is an electrical safety device designed to protect electrical circuits, equipment, or systems from damage caused by overload. It acts as a protective switch that will disconnect an electrical circuit when it detects an overload or short circuit. The main function of the circuit breaker is to interrupt the electric current in a circuit when an unsafe condition occurs, such as an overload or short circuit, and to reset the circuit breaker once the unsafe condition has been removed.

The UPG1-25758-5 circuit breaker is one such device designed for the most demanding tasks in a wide range of applications. This circuit breaker is a high-end device designed for industrial, commercial, and residential applications. It features a thermal-magnetic switch mechanism, which enables it to react quickly to thermal overloads, short circuits, and other unstable situations.

The UPG1-25758-5 circuit breaker has many features that make it an ideal choice for industries or homes. It has a wide operating temperature range (-40°C to 125°C) with a choice of automation configurations, such as time delay, instantaneous, or manual reset depending upon the application. It has a high short-circuit current interrupting capacity of up to 100 kiloamperes. The device also features a bright LED on front, which indicates when the breaker is tripped and the device needs to be reset. Other features of the device include arc-fault circuit interruption, current-limiting capability, and UL 489 certification.

The working principle of the UPG1-25758-5 circuit breaker is quite simple. When the device detects an overcurrent or short circuit, it quickly disconnects the electrical power, thereby protecting the circuit and preventing further damage. The device utilizes a thermal-magnetic switch mechanism to quickly detect any abnormal conditions and shut off the power. The thermal-magnetic switch is a combination of two elements: a thermal element that senses an increase in temperature and a magnetic element that senses a rapid increase in current. The thermal element detects an overload condition, and the magnetic element detects a short circuit situation. The combination of both elements provides an additional layer of protection and quickly responds to any hazardous situation.

The UPG1-25758-5 circuit breaker is a reliable and durable solution for many residential and industrial applications. It is designed to protect electrical circuits and equipment from damage caused by overloads or short circuits. The device is easy to understand and has a wide range of automation and features. With its thermally-magnetic switch, the device is able to quickly detect any hazardous conditions and shut off the power, thereby providing an extra layer of protection. From homes to industries, the UPG1-25758-5 circuit breaker is the perfect choice for those who need a reliable way to keep their electrical equipment safe.
