UPL5-31261-2 Circuit Protection

Circuit Breakers are electrical devices that protect circuits from overloads and other hazardous conditions. The UPL5-31261-2 is one type of circuit breaker that is widely used in industrial, commercial and residential applications. This circuit breaker is designed to provide superior protection against power surges, short-circuits and other electrical faults.

The UPL5-31261-2 circuit breaker utilizes a thermal-magnetic tripping system, which is a combination of thermal and magnetic elements. The thermal element is designed to detect overcurrent conditions, while the magnetic element is designed to detect short-circuit conditions. The thermal element helps to detect an overload in the circuit and activate the circuit breaker. The overload current is sensed by the thermal element and causes a bimetal element to move in the opposite direction, wherein the breaker trips instantly. On the other hand, the magnetic element detects a short-circuit in the circuit and causes the breaker to trip. The tripping speed of the circuit breaker is determined by the amount of current flowing through the circuit.

This type of circuit breaker is designed to be used in a variety of applications. It is suitable for use in industrial, commercial and residential applications, such as in switchgear, distribution panels, home appliances, and circuit boards. The UPL5-31261-2 circuit breaker is also ideal for protecting motor circuits and other power distribution systems that are subjected to frequent short-circuits and overloads. The circuit breaker is rated at 125 – 250 Amps, and it is UL listed and CSA certified for safety.

The UPL5-31261-2 circuit breaker has a number of advantageous features that make it an attractive option for industrial and commercial applications. For instance, the circuit breaker is designed with an adjustable current range that allows for precise current regulation. Also, the circuit breaker is capable of handling higher short-circuit currents than standard circuit breakers, thereby providing superior protection. Furthermore, the circuit breaker has a built-in test button, which makes it easy to test and maintain. Additionally, this type of circuit breaker does not require any special installation tools or parts, allowing for easy and quick installation. Finally, the circuit breaker is extremely reliable and durable, making it an excellent choice for all types of industrial and commercial applications.

In conclusion, the UPL5-31261-2 circuit breaker is an excellent choice for protecting motors and other circuit boards from short-circuits and other hazardous conditions. This type of circuit breaker utilizes a thermal-magnetic tripping system, which provides superior protection against overloads and short-circuits. The circuit breaker is rated at 125 – 250 Amps is UL listed and CSA certified, and it is designed for a variety of applications, including industrial, commercial and residential. In addition, the circuit breaker has a number of advantageous features, such as adjustable current range, quick installation, easy testing and maintenance, as well as reliability and durability.
