Circuit breakers are a vital part of power safety technology, designed to protect against dangerous and potentially fatal electric shock. UPG1-34549-1 is a typical single-pole circuit breaker that is rated at 25 Amps and provides overload, short circuit, and ground fault protection. It is suitable for both residential and light industrial applications. The following will discuss the application field and working principle of UPG1-34549-1.

Application Field

UPG1-34549-1 circuit breaker is suitable for a variety of residential and light industrial applications, including lighting, air conditioning, range hoods, and dishwashers. It is also suitable for residential power distribution panels, including supplying power to ACs, microwaves, and other electrical appliances. It can also be used in commercial and industrial applications including branch lighting outlets, motor control and branch power distribution, and receptacle control circuits.

Features

UPG1-34549-1 circuit breaker has several notable features. One of these features is its ability to detect and shut off an electrical circuit when it is overloaded. This ensures that no more energy than what is needed is drawn from the circuit, preventing it from being overloaded. Additionally, this circuit breaker has short circuit protection. This feature detects when too many amps are drawn from the circuit and shuts it down, providing a much safer and more reliable electrical connection. Lastly, it has ground fault protection, which is designed to detect grounded/shorted circuits and shut them off to reduce any fire or personal safety risks associated with electrical shock.

Working Principle

UPG1-34549-1 circuit breakers operate on the same basic principle as a traditional circuit breaker. The breaker contains an electric conductor which is responsible for carrying the current from the source of energy to the user’s appliance. When the current is too strong, or too much energy is being drawn from the circuit, a bimetallic strip inside the circuit breaker heats up and bends, resulting in an opening of an internal contact which separates the electric current. This shuts off the electric circuit, protecting it from potential damage that could be caused by overloads and short circuits.

The circuit breaker also contains a spring-loaded reset knob. To reset the circuit breaker, the knob is pushed down and rotates, causing the internal components to line up and re-establish the continuity of the circuit. Once the current is back to normal, the reset knob allows the circuit breaker to become functional again.

Conclusion

UPG1-34549-1 circuit breaker is designed to provide protection against overloads and short circuits, as well as ground fault protection. It is suitable for a variety of residential and light industrial applications, providing reliable and safe electrical connections for your home and business. It operates on a simple principle, quickly detecting any irregularities and disconnecting the circuit to prevent any potential damage to property or people.
