There are many classification methods for low voltage circuit breakers. Depending on the type of use, a distinction is made between selective and non-selective species. Depending on the arc extinguishing medium, there are air type and vacuum type. low voltage circuit breakers have a wide range of capacities with a minimum of 4 A and a maximum of 5000 A.
What is the function of the low voltage circuit breaker?
What are the operating steps of a low voltage circuit breaker?
How does the overload protection of the low voltage circuit breaker work?
A low voltage circuit breaker, commonly known as automatic air switch, is a low voltage electrical device that can automatically interrupt a faulty circuit and has both control and protection functions. In low voltage circuits, it is used to interrupt and connect load circuits to control the operation and stopping of motors. If the circuit is overloaded, short-circuited, voltage loss and other faults, it can automatically turn off the faulty circuit to protect the safety of the circuit and electrical equipment. Its protective effect parameters can
be artificially adapted to the requirements of electrical equipment, and it is convenient and reliable to use. It is worth noting that after disconnecting the contact of the low voltage circuit breaker, the actuation handle is still in the "closed" position, and the handle must be moved to the "open" position, and then to the "closed" position. Position.
The operation of the low voltage universal circuit breaker is divided into electrical and manual operation.
Electric operation, first press energy storage button, after inserting the energy storage press close button. If there is no stored energy, press the close button directly. Manual operation, use the special control handle on the universal circuit breaker to manually store the energy up and down on the universal circuit breaker, and press the power button on the circuit breaker after the indicator is attached.
The low voltage circuit breaker uses time delay protection for long-term overload protection. When a thermally actuated (bimetal element) is used for long-term overload protection, its action source is i2r, and the effective value of AC is equal to the average value of DC, so no change is required. However, if the secondary current heating of the current transformer is adopted for high current specifications, the transformer cannot be used in the DC circuit and cannot be used.
If the long-delay overload trigger of low voltage circuit breaker is completely electromagnetic (hydraulic type, namely oil cup type), the time delay trigger characteristics should change, and the minimum operating current should be increased by 110% to 140% . Therefore, the fully electromagnetic AC trigger unit cannot be used in the DC circuit (if used, it must be redesigned).

How does the low voltage circuit breaker perform the drawer wiring?
1. Improper installation and adjustment
Whether the installation and setting are correct is one of the basic factors affecting the normal operation of the low voltage circuit breaker. There are many operational accidents because the product is not assembled, adjusted and put into operation strictly according to the manufacturer's regulations. In general, there are three situations: (1) The auxiliary switch is set incorrectly. (2) The screw is not tightened and the pin is not opened. (3) Improper placement of the sealing ring.
2. Improper operation and maintenance as well as incorrect operation
Improper operation and maintenance of low voltage circuit breakers is another important cause of operational accidents. There are three common aspects: (1) The oil circuit breaker has too little oil. (2) Poor insulation. (3) Poor mechanical maintenance.
Features:
①The low voltage circuit breaker has strong switching power.
②The low voltage circuit breaker has good protective properties and can completely disconnect the line in a very short time.
③ The free release device of the low voltage circuit breaker has a locking effect. If the line does not return to normal state and the trigger does not return to its original position, it cannot be closed and powered.
Effect:
low voltage circuit breakers can not only turn normal load current and overload current on and off, but also turn short circuit current on and off. In addition to controlling the circuit, the low voltage circuit breaker also has certain protective functions such as overload, short circuit, undervoltage and leakage protection, etc.
The input and output drawers of the low voltage circuit breaker are rotated clockwise or counterclockwise by the rocker, and the insertion structure is adopted in both the main circuit and the secondary circuit, omitting the insulator required for the fixed type Machine can be used for two purposes. which improves efficiency, facilitates operation and maintenance, and increases safety and reliability. In particular, the main circuit contact holder of the drawer floor can be used together with the fuse contact holder of type NT, so that the fuse can be used directly for power supply in an emergency.

Protection functions of low voltage circuit breakers: short circuit protection, overload protection and undervoltage protection.
low voltage circuit breakers were formerly referred to as automatic switches or air switches. In addition to full load shutdown capability, it also has functions such as short circuit protection, overload protection and undervoltage protection, and has good arc extinguishing ability. It is often used as a main switch or secondary circuit switch in the distribution box. low voltage circuit breakers should not be operated frequently and are suitable as control units in lighting distribution boxes or other rare operations.
On the mounting plate of the complete set, first install a circuit breaker mounting seat, on the mounting seat there are 6 connectors, and on the connecting plate of the circuit breaker there are 6 sockets. There is a connecting plate on the surface of the mounting seat or bolt behind the mounting seat, and the power line and load line are pre-connected to the mounting seat. Insert the circuit breaker directly into the bracket for use. If the low voltage circuit breaker is defective, just pull out the bad one and replace it with a good one. Its replacement time is shorter and more convenient than the wiring before and after the board. Because plugging in and out requires a certain amount of manpower. This saves maintenance and replacement time. When installing a pluggable circuit breaker, check that the circuit breaker plug is firmly depressed and securely fasten the circuit breaker to reduce contact resistance and improve reliability.
1. Energy-releasing electromagnet
When the user presses the button after the electromagnet coil is excited, the electromagnet is closed to release the energy storage spring, and the circuit breaker is closed.
2. Turn the handle
The operator rotates the handle outside the door clockwise or counterclockwise to ensure the circuit breaker closes or opens. At the same time, turning the handle can ensure that the cabinet door cannot be opened when the circuit breaker is closed; only when the handle is opened or buckled, the door of the control cabinet can be opened. In an emergency, when the circuit breaker is "on" and the door needs to be opened, the red release button can be pressed on the side of the rotary handle base.

What is the main structure and function of the low voltage circuit breaker?
What are the main components of the low voltage circuit breaker?
What are the precautions for using low voltage circuit breakers?
1.Accessories for low voltage circuit breakers such as working current trigger, undervoltage trigger, electric drive, etc.; Shunt and undervoltage are voltage coils, as long as the voltage values are the same, they are used for AC systems, not AC systems. It can be used in DC systems without changes. Auxiliary, alarm contacts, AC and DC mass. The electric drive must be redesigned for DC operation.
2.Since the DC current does not have the zero-pass characteristics of alternating current, the interruption of DC short-circuit current (even the residual current with a small multiple); Erasing the arc is difficult, so the wiring should be connected two-pole or three-pole in series. increase the fracture so that each fracture carries part of the arc energy.
3.low voltage circuit breaker In addition to the traditional thermal magnetic trigger, the electronic trigger is also widely used. An important advantage of the electronic trigger is that it can operate stably even with changes in ambient temperature.
1. Contact
The contacts mechanically connected to the opening and closing mechanism of the main circuit of the low voltage circuit breaker are mainly used to indicate the opening and closing state of the circuit breaker, and are connected to the control circuit of the circuit breaker, to implement the opening and closing of the circuit breaker to the associated electrical appliances. Control or locking. For example, output signals on signal lamps, relays, etc.
2. Release
The working current trigger is a remote-controlled opening accessory. The under voltage trigger is used to automatically disconnect the low voltage circuit breaker to interrupt the power supply when a certain voltage drop in the power supply voltage occurs in the protected circuit, so that the electrical load equipment or electrical equipment below the circuit breaker is protected from under voltage damage.
3. Electric drive
It is an accessory for circuit breakers for automatic opening and closing over long distances. There are two types of electric drives: motor drive and electromagnetic drive.
Since direct current does not have zero-pass characteristics such as alternating current, it is difficult to interrupt the short-circuit current of direct current (even the residual current with a small multiple); It is difficult to extinguish the arc, so the wiring should apply the method of two-pole or three-pole series connection to increase the fracture, so that each fracture carries part of the arc energy.
In addition to the traditional thermal magnetic trigger, the electronic trigger is also widely used. An important advantage of the electronic trigger is that it can operate stably even with changes in ambient temperature.
