What is the function of this Siemens Transformer Protection Circuit Breaker?
This Siemens Transformer Protection Circuit Breaker is designed to protect transformers, motors, and other electrical devices from overloads and short circuits. It operates by interrupting the electrical flow upon detection of a fault condition.
What are the key specifications of this circuit breaker?
The circuit breaker has 3 poles and a rated current of 1.6 A. It can handle voltages up to 690 V ac and has a breaking capacity of 100 kA at 400 V ac. It features a thermal magnetic trip mechanism and conforms to Class 10. The dimensions of the breaker are 45 x 97 x 97 mm.
What does 'Class 10' mean in the context of this circuit breaker?
In the context of this circuit breaker, 'Class 10' refers to the time it takes for the breaker to trip in the event of an overload. A Class 10 breaker will trip within 10 seconds if the current exceeds 10 times the rated current.
What is a 'thermal magnetic' trip mechanism?
A 'thermal magnetic' trip mechanism in a circuit breaker refers to a two-part system for detecting and interrupting fault conditions. The 'thermal' part responds to prolonged overloads by using a bimetallic strip, which bends as it heats up, eventually triggering the trip mechanism. The 'magnetic' part responds to short circuits by using an electromagnet, which becomes magnetized by the high current and quickly triggers the trip mechanism.
Where can this circuit breaker be used?
This Siemens Transformer Protection Circuit Breaker can be used in a variety of industrial and commercial settings where there is a need to protect transformers, motors, and other electrical devices from overloads and short circuits.
What is the country of origin of this part?
The country of origin for the 3RV2411-1AA10 is not specified in the provided information.
