Working Mechanism

  • These circuit breakers use a combination of heat and magnetism to detect and respond to overcurrents.
  • A bimetallic strip inside the breaker bends when it gets hot.
  • This movement causes a spring-loaded contact to open and break the circuit.
  • There is also an electromagnet that is activated when the current exceeds a certain level.
  • The electromagnet pulls the contact together and trips the breaker, causing the circuit to open.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q How to reset a tripped circuit breaker?

Locate the breaker panel and find the switch or button (that is in the 'off' position). Flip the switch or press the button to turn the circuit breaker back on.

How do I select the right circuit breaker?

The amperage rating of the circuit breaker should be equal to or greater than the maximum current flowing through the circuit.

How do I maintain Eaton circuit breakers?

  • Check the circuit breaker periodically to ensure its proper functioning.
  • Ensure that contacts are clean and free of debris.
