How to Use SPBKBS -10: Examples, Pinouts, and Specs

The SPBKBS-10 is a specialized circuit breaker designed for high-voltage applications. It provides reliable overcurrent protection, ensuring the safety and longevity of electrical systems. This component is engineered to handle demanding environments, making it ideal for industrial, commercial, and high-power electrical installations.

• High-voltage industrial machinery
• Power distribution systems
• Renewable energy systems (e.g., solar and wind power)
• Electrical panels in commercial buildings
• Protection for transformers and large motors

The SPBKBS-10 is built to meet stringent safety and performance standards. Below are its key technical details:

The SPBKBS-10 features screw terminals for secure connections. Below is the terminal configuration:

1. Mounting: Securely mount the SPBKBS-10 on a DIN rail in your electrical panel.
2. Wiring:
   • Connect the high-voltage input line to Terminal 1 and the neutral input to Terminal 2.
   • Connect the high-voltage output line to Terminal 3 and the neutral output to Terminal 4.
   • Ensure the grounding terminal is connected to the system's ground for safety.
3. Testing:
   • Before powering the system, verify all connections are secure and correct.
   • Use a multimeter to check for continuity and proper insulation resistance.
4. Operation:
   • Once installed, the SPBKBS-10 will automatically trip in the event of an overcurrent or short circuit.
   • Reset the breaker manually after resolving the fault condition.

• Voltage and Current Ratings: Ensure the SPBKBS-10 is used within its rated voltage (1000V AC / 1500V DC) and current (10A) limits.
• Proper Grounding: Always connect the grounding terminal to prevent electrical hazards.
• Environmental Conditions: Avoid exposing the breaker to extreme temperatures or moisture beyond its operating range.
• Periodic Maintenance: Inspect the breaker periodically for signs of wear, corrosion, or damage.

While the SPBKBS-10 is not directly controlled by an Arduino, it can be used in conjunction with an Arduino-based monitoring system. Below is an example of how to monitor the breaker’s status using an Arduino:

// Example code to monitor SPBKBS-10 status using Arduino UNO
// This code assumes a digital input pin is connected to a status indicator
// (e.g., auxiliary contact) on the SPBKBS-10.

const int breakerStatusPin = 2; // Pin connected to the SPBKBS-10 status output
const int ledPin = 13;          // Built-in LED to indicate breaker status

void setup() {
  pinMode(breakerStatusPin, INPUT); // Set breaker status pin as input
  pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT);          // Set LED pin as output
  Serial.begin(9600);               // Initialize serial communication
}

void loop() {
  int breakerStatus = digitalRead(breakerStatusPin); // Read breaker status

  if (breakerStatus == HIGH) {
    // Breaker is in normal operation
    digitalWrite(ledPin, LOW); // Turn off LED
    Serial.println("Breaker Status: Normal");
  } else {
    // Breaker has tripped
    digitalWrite(ledPin, HIGH); // Turn on LED
    Serial.println("Breaker Status: Tripped");
  }

  delay(500); // Wait for 500ms before next status check
}

1. Can the SPBKBS-10 be used for DC systems?

   • Yes, it supports up to 1500V DC, making it suitable for high-voltage DC applications.

2. What is the response time of the SPBKBS-10?

   • The breaker responds to faults within 10 milliseconds.

3. How do I know if the breaker has tripped?

   • The breaker will physically switch to the "off" position, and auxiliary contacts (if available) can provide a status signal.

4. Is the SPBKBS-10 compatible with renewable energy systems?

   • Yes, it is designed to handle high-voltage systems, including solar and wind power installations.

By following this documentation, users can safely and effectively integrate the SPBKBS-10 into their electrical systems.
