Reliable Protection for Industrial Electrical Systems
Miniature circuit breakers automatically disconnect an electrical circuit when excessive current is detected. Thermal protection responds to sustained overload conditions, while magnetic protection provides rapid operation during short circuits. This helps protect wiring, machinery and connected equipment from electrical damage.
The D curve characteristic of the IMO UB10D3016A permits higher temporary inrush currents before magnetic tripping occurs. This makes the breaker suitable for industrial equipment that draws substantial current during start-up while maintaining reliable protection against genuine electrical faults.
Typical Applications
- Three-phase motor circuits.
- Industrial control panels.
- Transformers and inductive loads.
- Machine building and OEM equipment.
- Factory automation systems.
- Commercial and industrial distribution boards.
