Arc extinguishing cover of molded case circuit breaker2
Product Description
Working principle of arc extinguishing hood of molded case circuit breaker: When the current exceeds the set value, the contacts inside the circuit breaker separate and form an arc. The arc is a high-temperature, high-energy discharge phenomenon that usually causes serious damage to the internal components of the circuit breaker. In order to effectively deal with this problem, the arc extinguishing hood is designed to quickly extinguish the arc by increasing the arc path and reducing the arc temperature and pressure. Specifically, the arc extinguishing hood extends the flow path of the arc through the special design of its internal structure, so that the arc can fully contact with the surrounding cooling medium when passing through the arc extinguishing hood, thereby quickly reducing its temperature. In addition, the material and structure of the arc extinguishing hood can effectively disperse the energy generated by the arc, reduce the pressure of the arc, and further accelerate the extinguishing process. This series of working mechanisms ensures that the arc can be extinguished in the shortest time in the case of short circuit or overload, thereby protecting the safety of circuits and equipment.
Application: Arc extinguishing hoods of molded case circuit breakers are widely used in industrial, commercial and residential power systems to ensure the safe operation of power equipment. In the industrial field, arc extinguishing hoods can effectively protect large motors, transformers and other key equipment to prevent production stagnation caused by faults caused by electric arcs. In commercial environments, the application of arc extinguishing hoods can ensure the stability of the power distribution system and ensure the smooth progress of commercial activities. In residential power systems, arc extinguishing hoods provide important safety protection for household electricity use, preventing fires and equipment damage caused by abnormal current.
Maintenance: In order to ensure the normal operation of the arc chute, it is essential to regularly check its integrity and cleanliness. Maintenance work should include cleaning the surface and internal structure of the arc chute to remove dust and dirt that may have accumulated to prevent performance degradation due to aging or dirt. In addition, regularly check whether the material of the arc chute has cracks, deformation or other damage to ensure that it can still maintain good insulation performance and arc resistance under high temperature and high pressure environment. Through these maintenance measures, the service life of the arc chute can be effectively extended, ensuring that it can play its due protective role at critical moments, thereby providing a solid guarantee for the safe operation of the power system.
