A circuit breaker is an essential safety device used in electrical power systems to protect equipment and appliances in the event of a power surge or fault condition. The UPG6-23503-2 is an example of such a device, and its application field and working principle are discussed here in more detail.

Application Field

The UPG6-23503-2 circuit breaker is a general-purpose device ideally suited for residential and commercial systems rated up to 240 Volts AC. It is available in a wide variety of configurations, including one pole, two pole, and three pole devices with an amperage range of 10 to 200 A. Additionally, it can also be applied to DC systems up to 100 VDC.

This circuit breaker is suitable for a wide variety of applications, including circuit protection in furnaces, air-conditioners, electric water heaters, washers and dryers, dishwashers, refrigerators, stoves, garbage disposals, lighting fixtures, and more. It is also commonly used in industrial applications such as power distribution centers, motor control centers, and machine tool systems.

Working Principle

When an electrical fault or power surge is detected, the UPG6-23503-2 circuit breaker works to quickly stop the flow of electricity and isolate the fault. It does this by breaking the circuit and opening the contacts of the circuit breaker, thus protecting the connected devices from damage.

The device is designed to trip or open much faster than a standard fuse, which is beneficial in minimizing damage to connected devices from short-circuits and power surges. The internal components of the circuit breaker, including the trip coil, lever, contact blade, and opening spring, work together to detect an overcurrent condition and trip or open the circuit.

When an overcurrent condition is detected, an electric current is generated in the trip coil by the device\'s sensing element. This trip current is activated and forces the opener arm to move and break the circuit. The circuit breaker can then be reset manually by pushing the reset button.

The UPG6-23503-2 circuit breaker also features an adjustable overload protection or “trip” setting. This allows the device to be set to allow a slightly higher current than normal, which can be beneficial in certain applications. Setting the trip level too high, however, could result in inadequate protection, especially when used in conjunction with sensitive electronic equipment.

The UPG6-23503-2 circuit breaker is a reliable, cost-effective device designed to protect equipment and wiring from short circuits and power surges. Its wide application field and adjustable overload protection make it a great choice for both residential and commercial applications.
