Description

Product Description

Product Parameters

Advantages and Features

• High Interrupting Capacity: The TED134050WL has an interrupting rating of 18kA at 480V AC, which means it can safely interrupt high fault currents, protecting the electrical system from damage during short circuits or other fault conditions.
• Thermal Magnetic Protection: The combination of thermal and magnetic protection provides dual functionality. The thermal element responds to overcurrent conditions over time, while the magnetic element quickly trips in the event of a short circuit, ensuring effective protection against different types of faults.
• Wide Voltage Range: With a maximum AC voltage rating of 600V and a maximum DC voltage rating of 500V, it can be used in various electrical systems with different voltage requirements, offering flexibility in applications.

Application Areas and Application Cases

• Application Areas: The TED134050WL is suitable for use in industrial, commercial, and institutional applications. It can be found in power distribution panels, motor control centers, and HVAC systems. In industrial settings, it is used to protect machinery and equipment. In commercial buildings, it is used to safeguard lighting, power outlets, and other electrical loads. In institutional facilities like hospitals and schools, it ensures the safety and reliability of the electrical system.
• Application Case: In a manufacturing plant, the TED134050WL is used in the power distribution system to protect a group of production machines. When a short circuit occurs in one of the machines, the TED134050WL quickly trips, cutting off the power supply to the faulty machine and preventing damage to other equipment and the electrical system. This helps to minimize downtime and repair costs, ensuring the smooth operation of the production process.

Selection Recommendations

• Power Requirements: Ensure that the voltage and current ratings of the TED134050WL match the requirements of your electrical system. Consider the maximum expected load current and the system voltage to select the appropriate rating.
• Interrupting Capacity: Evaluate the fault current level in your system and choose a circuit breaker with an interrupting capacity that can handle the maximum possible fault current. The TED134050WL’s 18kA interrupting rating at 480V AC may be suitable for many applications, but for systems with higher fault currents, a higher rating may be needed.
• Connection Type: If your system requires a specific connection type, such as feed-thru, make sure the TED134050WL’s connection type meets your needs. Other connection types may not be compatible with your existing electrical infrastructure.

Precautions

• Installation: Follow the installation instructions provided by the manufacturer carefully. Ensure proper grounding and torque of the terminal connections to prevent loose connections, which can cause overheating and electrical hazards.
• Maintenance: Regularly inspect the circuit breaker for signs of wear, such as discolored terminals or burnt marks. Check the operating mechanism to ensure it functions properly. Clean the surface of the circuit breaker to remove dust and debris.
• Operation: Do not overload the circuit breaker beyond its rated current. Avoid frequent tripping of the circuit breaker, as this can affect its lifespan and performance. If the circuit breaker trips frequently, investigate and address the underlying cause of the overcurrent or fault.
