General Electric SKLC3612L3XX bolt-on circuit breaker is used to interrupt the flow of electricity when a fault occurs, preventing damage to equipment, fires or electrical hazards. This breaker is typically employed in electrical distribution panels and load centers to protect circuits and electrical systems from overloads and short circuits.
Working Mechanism:
- General Electric SKLC3612L3XX bolt-on circuit breaker monitors electrical current continuously. It utilises an interchangeable RMS trip unit with settings for long, short and instantaneous trips.
- The long time function protects against prolonged overloads, while the short time function guards against short-term surges. In cases of extreme fault currents, the instantaneous trip function ensures an immediate shutdown.
- Solid-state technology enhances precision, replacing mechanical systems for more reliable operation.
- The breaker securely bolts onto the bus bars within the electrical panel and is suitable for reverse-fed applications. However, it's important to note that lugs for wire connections are not included and must be added separately.
Features:
