Component Details
The Allen Bradley OVL Breaker (140M-C2E-C16) is an overload breaker with a current range of 10-16A designed to protect motors from overcurrent conditions in various industrial applications. It comprises a thermal trip unit, a mechanical trip unit, and a contact assembly. The thermal trip unit utilizes a bimetallic strip, which expands as a result of the heat generated by excessive current consumption, triggering the trip mechanism. The mechanical trip unit provides additional protection against short circuits and ground faults by sensing fault currents.
Application
The Allen Bradley OVL Breaker (140M-C2E-C16) is applicable in a variety of industries, including but not limited to food and beverage processing, automotive manufacturing, and textile production. Its robust design and low maintenance requirements make it ideal for use in harsh environments, reducing downtime and ensuring the uninterrupted operation of industrial motor systems. Its quick-acting mechanism minimizes recovery time and the chances of equipment failure during restart.
Uses
The Allen Bradley OVL Breaker (140M-C2E-C16) is commonly used in motor control applications to protect motors against overcurrent conditions that may arise due to startup surges, short circuits, or ground faults. Its warranty period of up to 10 years, depending on the quantity ordered, provides assurance against defects in materials or workmanship, further encouraging its use in industrial settings.
Maintainance
Routine maintenance is essential to ensure the optimal performance and longevity of the Allen Bradley OVL Breaker (140M-C2E-C16). The contact assembly should be cleaned and inspected periodically to ensure proper contact and reduce resistance. The trip unit housing should also be checked for cleanliness, as debris accumulation can impact the unit’s functionality. It is recommended to consult the manufacturer’s manual for more detailed maintenance procedures.
