Circuit Breakers
Circuit breakers are devices which protect electrical circuits from damage due to overcurrent, overload, short circuit and other electrical disturbances. They are used in virtually all types of commercial, industrial, and residential electrical systems. One type of circuit breaker is the UPL5111-1REC4-134-6, which is specifically designed for high current applications such as those found in motor controllers.
Application Field: The UPL5111-1REC4-134-6 is typically used to protect motors, control circuits, and lighting circuits from damage due to excessive current. This type of circuit breaker can be used in a variety of applications, including industrial machinery, commercial applications, and residential applications. This particular model is also useful for protecting critical control circuits, such as those found in robots and automated equipment.
Working Principle: The UPL5111-1REC4-134-6 circuit breaker functions by using a thermal-magnetic actuation system. This system utilizes a thermal element, often in the form of a bimetallic strip, and a magnetic element, which is used to sense overly large currents. When an overload or short circuit occurs, the magnetic element triggers a switch which disconnects the circuit and trips the breaker. The thermal element also senses overtemperature increases, and trips the breaker in the event of a fault.
The UPL5111-1REC4-134-6 is also designed for rapid response. When an overload or short circuit occurs, the circuit breaker can disconnect the circuit within a matter of milliseconds, protecting the circuit from damage. The breaker is also designed to remain in the tripped state until the fault is resolved, a reset switch is triggered, and the current is brought below the rated capacity.
The UPL5111-1REC4-134-6 is also designed to be easy to install and maintain. The unit can be mounted either in a vertical position, or in a panel board. The breaker has been designed with terminals and a pressure plate system which allows for easy connection. The breaker also has indicator lights which alert service personnel when a problem or fault occurs.
The UPL5111-1REC4-134-6 circuit breaker is an effective and reliable way to protect circuits from hazardous electrical faults. The unit is designed for both high current and high speed applications, and can provide circuit protection for a variety of applications. This circuit breaker is also simple to install and maintain, providing an efficient and safe means of protecting both industrial and residential circuits.
