UPG6-36657-1 Circuit Protection

Circuit breakers are a key component in any electrical system and an essential part of a safe and reliable electrical network. They protect people and equipment from damage due to an overload or short circuit, and are used to quickly and safely interrupt power to circuits that are no longer safe to remain energized. The UPG6-36657-1 is one such circuit breaker and is used for both commercial and industrial applications.

The UPG6-36657-1 is rated for use at 240 volts AC and up to 60 amps, and is UL and CSA approved. This circuit breaker is designed for use with load centers and type BQ, BR and BQ Enclosures. It is also suitable for use in “off” or “on” motor operators. It features a trip bar that is clearly visible when in the open position.

The working principle of the UPG6-36657-1 is based on the basic principles of electricity. When too much current flows through a circuit, it causes an overload. If this current reaches a certain level, the circuit breaker will trip. This means that the circuit breaker will “open” and the power will be interrupted. This prevents the wires from overloading and reduces the risk of fire, electrical shock, and equipment damage.

The UPG6-36657-1 also features a manual reset button. This button can be used to reset the breaker if it trips due to an overload. This allows the circuit breaker to be reset without having to go back to the main switch panel. The reset button also provides an important safety feature, as it can be used to reset the breaker in the event of a power failure. This prevents the circuit from staying energized and reduces the risk of mechanical or electrical damage.

The UPG6-36657-1 is a reliable and efficient circuit breaker that is designed for use in both residential and commercial applications. It is a cost-effective solution for providing safe and reliable power to circuits, and provides peace of mind knowing that your electrical system is safe and secure. With its trip bar and manual reset button, the UPG6-36657-1 provides all the features you need to keep your electrical system safe and reliable.
