Circuit Breakers: UPGF6-30348-10 Application field and Working Principle

UPGF6-30348-10, also known as Uben Ground Fault Circuit breakers (GFCI), are the latest generation of GFCI breakers on the market. They are intended to prevent electric shock and ground-fault conditions by quickly disconnecting the power supply from the ground leakage circuit.

Application Field

UPGF6-30348-10 GFCI breakers are designed for residential and light commercial applications. This includes bathrooms, laundry rooms, kitchens, and any outdoor outlets. They are suitable for installation inside a panelboard, and can be used as the primary or supplementary protection device for all branch circuit wiring.

Working Principle

The GFCI breaker consists of two separate parts: the device’s main contacts, and the trip device. The breaker’s main contacts allow current to pass from the supply voltage to the load. The trip device is an electronic component that keeps track of the current flowing through the main contacts. If the current does not match the expected amount, the trip device will trip the main contacts and disrupt the flow of electricity.

This helps protect against two kinds of dangerous situations: a ground-fault condition and an overcurrent situation. In the event of a ground-fault, which is when the current is traveling through an unintended path other than the main contacts, the difference in current will be detected by the trip device and the main contacts will be tripped. This prevents electric shock hazards because it immediately disconnects the power from the circuit.

In the event of an overcurrent situation, when the current is higher than what was expected, the increased current will cause an internal overload. This triggers the trip device and the main contacts are disrupted. This prevents all types of overloaded situations in which appliances and other equipment are at risk of being damaged.

Conclusion

UPGF6-30348-10 GFCI breakers are a great way to protect against ground fault and overcurrent situations in residential and light commercial applications. They come with a comprehensive set of features such as current monitoring, overload protection, short trip and leakage protection, and many more. With UPGF6-30348-10 GFCI breakers, you can be sure that your circuits are properly protected from electric shock and other hazardous conditions.
