Eaton C Series ED3225 bolt-on circuit breaker is ideal for switchboard, panelboard, busway and motor control centre (MCC) applications. It is used for protecting electric circuits from damage.
Working Mechanism:
- This C Series ED3225 circuit breaker is controlled by the circuit breaker handle and Push-to-Trip button.
- The unit passes current through its current-carrying contacts.
- When a fault is detected, the contacts back off from each other, tripping the unit thermally or magnetically.
- Reset the breaker by moving the breaker handle to the OFF position.
- Finally, switch the circuit back to the ON position.
Features:
- Eaton C Series ED3225 circuit breaker comes with an ABC phase connection to protect devices from overloads or short circuits.
- It comprises a load-side lug for secure connections and allows a toggle-handle actuation method to control the flow of electric current.
- The inside contents (including mechanisms, current-carrying parts & trip devices) are contained in a moulded case to protect the electric circuit from foreign particles.
- This unit comes with a fixed thermal-magnetic trip to actuate the breaker opening in the event of a ground fault.
- This 3-pole unit allows bolt-on panel mounting for secure installation.
