W23-X1A1G-2

Circuit Breakers are electrical safety devices that prevent electric abnormalities, such as surges and invisible currents, from damaging sensitive components and equipment. As a particularly important part of the electrical safety switch, it generally fails and then rapidly cuts off the overcurrent circuit, ensuring the safety and stability of the electrical system. Consequently, they are essential to almost all modern electric power grids and many industries and applications.

W23-X1A1G-2 is a type of circuit breaker manufactured by Schneider. It provides durability, reliability, and safety for various application fields, especially for LV switchgear systems in industrial and commercial sectors. Its distinctive features include its high withstand current, short-circuit tolerance, remote operation, alarm monitoring, and many more. It is also environmental-friendly and energy-efficient.

The working principle of W23-X1A1G-2 model is based on magnetic and thermal effects. Magnetic effect is used for switching the circuits on and off, while the thermal effect is used for heat dissipation. In this model, when an excessive current passes through the contact poles, the powerful magnets create a magnetic field around the normally open contact which attracts the contact to the magnetic core and closes the circuit. The current then passes through the thermal motor and increases the temperature, which increases the thermal expansion of the motor, thus increasing the pressure on the contacts and reducing the current. This helps to protect the circuit from overload. Simultaneously, the temperature rise of the motor will cause the contacts to open and the circuit to be disconnected. In this way, the circuit breaker will prevent the occurrence of overcurrent.

The W23-X1A1G-2 product is mainly used for the protection of resetting and reception circuits of low voltage devices in industrial, commercial and residential applications, such as lighting systems, fire protection systems, etc. It is also suitable for protection of motor circuits, transformers and other electrical equipment. The breaker is especially suitable for AC 50/60 Hz, voltage 230 V and small power motor circuits up to 16A. In addition, it is also suitable for power switching and control in many application fields such as lighting, heating and air conditioning, communications, instrumentation, and elevator systems.

In conclusion, W23-X1A1G-2 is a reliable and efficient circuit breaker from Schneider that provides strong protection for LV switchgear systems. It works by using a combination of magnetic and thermal effects to prevent overcurrent from damaging sensitive components. It is widely applied in many application fields such as lighting systems, fire protection systems, motor circuits, and many more.
