UPGH11-3176-1 Circuit Protection

Circuit Breakers

Circuit breakers are a critical component for any electrical circuit, providing a means to protect against abnormal conditions. The UPGH11-3176-1 circuit breaker is a specific model of circuit breaker used in many industrial, commercial and residential applications. It is designed to be reliable, safe and effective, and works to protect its components and the circuit it is installed in.

The UPGH11-3176-1 circuit breaker works using a combination of thermal and magnetic trips. The thermal trip consists of a bimetallic strip which is heated due to current flow. When the temperature reaches a certain level, the bimetallic strip triggers a switch which activates either an alarm or a mechanical contact to open the circuit. The magnetic trip consists of a small coil which is energized by the current. As the current flow increases, it creates a magnetic field which attracts a plunger and triggers the tripswitch.

The UPGH11-3176-1 circuit breaker is designed to protect from abnormal conditions such as shorts, overloads, and rapid changes in current flow. It is well suited for residential and commercial applications, as well as industrial and high-voltage applications. In residential applications, it is used to protect from overloads and accidental circuit interruption. In commercial and industrial applications, it is used to provide enhanced protection from potentially hazardous electrical insulation faults as well as overloads.

The UPGH11-3176-1 circuit breaker is capable of handling current of up to 30,000 amps, making it ideal for heavy-duty applications. It also has a wide operating range from 10-1450 volts, making it suitable for both high and low voltage applications. The breaker is UL listed for both residential and commercial applications, and is certified to the UL 489 standard for molded case circuit breakers.

The UPGH11-3176-1 circuit breaker is an efficient and reliable way to provide protection against overloads and other abnormal conditions. It is suitable for use in a wide variety of electrical applications, both residential and commercial. It is a reliable and cost-effective way to ensure that the circuit is protected.
