UPL1-1REC4-1402-470 Circuit Protection

Circuit Breakers

Circuit breakers are devices that protect electrical circuits from overloads and short circuits. The UPL1-1REC4-1402-470 is a type of circuit breakers used in industrial applications that provides comprehensive protection for different types of loads. The device has the capability to automatically detect and disconnect the circuit when an overload or short circuit condition exists.

Application Field

The UPL1-1REC4-1402-470 has a wide variety of applications, primarily in the industrial and commercial sectors. It is suitable for motors, machinery, transformers, and various other electrical equipment, and can be used in a number of different environments. Its IP-55 rating ensures that it can be used in wet and dusty conditions.

Working Principle

The UPL1-1REC4-1402-470 is a three-pole, differential-trip circuit breaker that has the ability to detect and disconnect a circuit when an overload or short circuit occurs. It is equipped with adjustable trip settings that can be customized to the particular application, and can be configured to trip at 2.5, 5, or 10x the system’s rated current. The device also includes a test button to verify the proper operation of the circuit breaker.

When the tripping level is exceeded, a magnetic field is created between the source and the load terminals. This causes the bi-metallic strips to bend and contact the operating lever, which trips the breaker and disconnects the circuit.

The UPL1-1REC4-1402-470 has several protections that ensure safe operation, such as overcurrent protection, short circuit protection, and ground fault protection. It also includes a lockout feature that prevents it from resetting until the fault has been cleared. This makes the device ideal for use in applications such as motor protection, form-factor protection, and switchgear.

Conclusion

The UPL1-1REC4-1402-470 is a reliable and efficient circuit breaker that can be used in a variety of applications. Its adjustable trip settings and robust protection features make it an ideal choice for industrial and commercial settings, where dependable protection is required. It is also easy to install and maintain, adding to its overall value to a user’s system.
