Usage Instructions
How to Use the Component in a Circuit
Mounting the Circuit Breaker:
- Install the DISJUNTOR BIPOLAR on a standard 35mm DIN rail in the distribution panel.
- Ensure the breaker is securely locked into place.
Wiring the Circuit Breaker:
- Connect the input live wires (phases) to the L1 and L2 terminals.
- Connect the output live wires (phases) to the T1 and T2 terminals, leading to the load.
- If applicable, connect the ground wire to the grounding terminal.
Testing the Installation:
- After wiring, switch the breaker to the "ON" position and verify that the connected load operates correctly.
- Test the trip functionality by simulating an overload or short circuit condition (if safe to do so).
Resetting the Breaker:
- In the event of a trip, switch the breaker to the "OFF" position, identify and resolve the fault, and then switch it back to the "ON" position.
Important Considerations and Best Practices
- Always ensure the circuit breaker is rated for the voltage and current of the circuit it is protecting.
- Use appropriate wire sizes to handle the rated current without overheating.
- Avoid exposing the breaker to extreme temperatures or moisture to maintain its performance and longevity.
- Periodically inspect the breaker for signs of wear or damage and replace it if necessary.
- Ensure compliance with local electrical codes and standards during installation.
Troubleshooting and FAQs
Common Issues and Solutions
| Issue | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Breaker trips frequently | Overloaded circuit or short circuit | Reduce the load or identify and fix the short circuit. |
| Breaker does not trip during a fault | Faulty breaker or incorrect wiring | Verify wiring and replace the breaker if necessary. |
| Breaker cannot be reset | Persistent fault in the circuit | Inspect the circuit for faults and resolve them before resetting the breaker. |
| Excessive heat around the breaker | Loose connections or undersized wires | Tighten connections and ensure proper wire sizing. |
FAQs
Can the DISJUNTOR BIPOLAR be used for DC circuits?
- No, this breaker is designed for AC circuits only. For DC applications, use a breaker specifically rated for DC.
What is the difference between B, C, and D trip curves?
- B Curve: Trips at 3-5 times the rated current, suitable for residential use.
- C Curve: Trips at 5-10 times the rated current, ideal for commercial and industrial applications.
- D Curve: Trips at 10-20 times the rated current, used for high inrush current loads like motors.
How do I select the correct breaker rating?
- Determine the total load current of the circuit and choose a breaker with a slightly higher rated current. Ensure the breaker’s rating matches the wire size and application.
