The Schneider Electric 140XBE10000 Circuit Breaker is an electrical device designed to protect electrical circuits from damage caused by overloads or short circuits. It is an integral part of low-voltage power distribution systems, monitoring the flow of current and interrupting it when necessary to prevent excessive heat or damage to wires and equipment. This specific model, the 140XBE10000, is suitable for a wide range of commercial, industrial, and residential applications, providing reliable protection for electrical systems.
Product Parameters:
Rated Current (In): The maximum continuous current that the circuit breaker can carry without tripping. This ensures compatibility with the normal operating current of the protected circuit.
Short-Circuit Current Rating (Ics): The maximum short-circuit current that the circuit breaker can withstand without being damaged. This rating ensures that the breaker can handle high fault currents effectively.
Tripping Characteristic Curve: Describes the relationship between the current and the time taken by the circuit breaker to trip. This curve ensures selective protection, minimizing the impact of faults on the electrical system.
Number of Poles: Specifies the number of electrical connections (phases) handled by the circuit breaker. For three-phase applications, it is typically a three-pole breaker.
Voltage Rating (Un): The maximum voltage that the circuit breaker can safely handle, ensuring compatibility with the voltage requirements of the protected circuit.
