UPG111-5651-2 Circuit Protection

Circuit Breakers

A circuit breaker is a device that breaks an electrical circuit to prevent excessive current, usually caused by an overload or short circuit, from damaging the circuit or its components. Circuit breakers come in a wide variety of designs, sizes, and ratings to protect wires and equipment in various applications and environments. One such model is the UPG111-5651-2 circuit breaker, which is commonly used for industrial and commercial applications.

Application Field

The UPG111-5651-2 circuit breaker is primarily used in indoor applications to protect against overloads and short circuits in industrial and commercial facilities, including supermarkets, office buildings, and large manufacturing factories. It is suitable for use in industrial control systems, electrical equipment, and lighting systems that require high reliability. The UPG111-5651-2 is a three-pole, three-phase, 125 Amp continuous current rating circuit breaker.

Working Principle

The UPG111-5651-2 circuit breaker operates on the principle of thermal-magnetic protection. This means that when an overload or short circuit occurs, the breaker detects the excessive current and rapidly trips the circuit by opening the contacts and disconnecting the power. This trip action happens fast enough to protect the wiring, equipment, and other components in the circuit from damage from overheating or sparking.

The UPG111-5651-2 circuit breaker also has an adjustable trip setting that can be adjusted to trip the circuit at a specified current level. This setting allows the user to control how much current can flow through the circuit and protects against unexpected overloads or faults.

The UPG111-5651-2 circuit breaker is designed to comply with industry safety standards. It features corrosion-resistant construction and supports a wide range of operational temperatures, making it suitable for use in a variety of environments. It also features an easy-to-install design, allowing for quick and hassle-free installation.

Conclusion

The UPG111-5651-2 circuit breaker is a reliable, cost-effective, and easy-to-install solution for industrial and commercial applications. Its thermal-magnetic protection system allows it to quickly and safely protect the circuit from overloads or short circuits. It is also designed to comply with industry safety standards and offers adjustable trip settings to suit the needs of the user.
