W33-S1N1Q-10 Datasheet/PDFCircuit Breakers
A circuit breaker is a device that automatically de-energizes electrical circuits in order to protect devices and people from electrical damage due to overloads, surges, shorts, or ground faults. Circuit breakers are used in many types of electrical systems and can be found in residential, commercial, and industrial applications.
W33-S1N1Q-10 application field and working principle
The W33-S1N1Q-10 is a type of circuit breaker designed for a variety of applications from residential to light commerical/industrial. It supports 120/240 VAC single phase systems, with a maximum short circuit rating of 10,000 A at 480 VAC. It is designed for use in branch switching and overload protection in panelboards, switchboards, and motor control centers.
The W33-S1N1Q-10 operates on one basic principle - controlling the flow of electric current in an electrical circuit. When the flow of electric current in the circuit reaches a certain threshold, the breaker trips, cutting off the electricity and protecting the circuit from further damage. The main components of the breaker are an electro-magnetic coil, a trip latch, a trip solenoid, and a trip contact. When power is supplied to the breaker, the trip latch is engaged and the electro-magnetic coil is energized, allowing it to create a magnetic field. If the current in the circuit exceeds the trip point, the trip solenoid is activated, releasing the trip latch which then trips the breaker, cutting off power to the circuit. The trip contact is used to reset the breaker once it has tripped.
The W33-S1N1Q-10 is UL listed and CSA certified, ensuring the highest levels of safety and reliability. It is designed to meet both UL489 and UL 489A standards and is fully rated and tested. It is a great choice for residential and light commercial applications, providing reliable circuit protection and peace of mind.
