How Does a Circuit Breaker / Trip Switch Work? - Pt 1 - YouTube mjlorton

Please support my content creation by using my Amazon Store: http://astore.amazon.com/m0711-20 ------------------------------ Click "Show more" ------------------------------------------- In this video: * We take a look inside a thermal magnetic circuit breaker to see how it works with both AC and DC. * I do a practical demonstration on how the circuit breaker works to protect against overloads and short circuits. * We take a look at some circuit breaker ratings such as: In: Rated current - maximum current that the breaker is designed to carry continuously at an ambient air temperature of 30 °C. Icu: Ultimate short-circuit breaking capacity. Ics: service short-circuit breaking capacity. * I test what parameters (voltage vs current) affect the overload protection of a circuit. * I demonstrate the instantaneous breaking / tripping capability of a circuit breaker on an oscilloscope under various loads. * I show circuit beakers that are designed to cater for electric motor start-up inrush current with an adjustable instantaneous trip setting. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circuit_...
