Description
GE C220LSI
Technical Specifications
- Manufacturer: General Electric (GE)
- Product Type: Low Voltage Circuit Breaker
- Series: C220 Series
Functional Features
- Overcurrent Protection: Thermal-magnetic trip unit for overload and short circuit protection.
- Circuit Isolation: Provides visible or reliable disconnect for maintenance safety.
- High Interrupting Capacity: Rated to safely interrupt high fault currents.
Application Scenarios
- Power Distribution: Main and branch circuit protection in panelboards.
- Motor Protection: Dedicated protection for motor circuits.
- Industrial Panels: Integration into motor control centers and switchgear.
Performance Parameters
- Voltage Rating: Rated for low voltage AC/DC systems.
- Interrupting Rating: High ampere interrupting capacity (AIC).
Material Composition
- Molded case housing with silver-alloy contacts and arc chutes.
Structural Characteristics
- Form Factor: Standard molded case circuit breaker (MCCB).
- Operation: Manual toggle or motorized operation options.
Working Principle
Monitors current flow through thermal and magnetic elements; when fault current exceeds threshold, the trip mechanism releases the contacts to open the circuit and extinguish the arc.
Installation Requirements
- Install in compatible panelboard with proper torque on bus connections.
- Ensure adequate clearance for arc flash boundary.
Usage Precautions
- Never exceed voltage or current ratings.
- Perform regular maintenance and testing per NFPA 70B.
