Description
GE FVK422FK
Technical Specifications:
- Brand: General Electric (GE)
- Model: FVK422FK
- Product Type: Industrial Molded Case Circuit Breaker
- Current Rating: High-amperage industrial rating
Functional Features:
- Overcurrent Protection: Automatically detects and interrupts short circuits and overload conditions.
- Adjustable Trip Unit: Allows for precise coordination with upstream and downstream protective devices.
- Safe Isolation: Provides a visible and reliable disconnect point for maintenance.
Application Scenarios:
Widely deployed in main power distribution panels, heavy manufacturing plants, and industrial motor control centers (MCCs).
Performance Parameters:
- Interrupting Capacity: High short-circuit interrupting rating to safely clear severe fault currents.
- Mechanical Endurance: Designed for thousands of open/close operations with minimal mechanical wear.
Material Composition:
Encased in a high-strength, flame-retardant thermoset plastic housing with silver-alloy contacts and robust copper busbars.
Structural Characteristics:
Compact, ruggedized form factor with a manual operating handle, mechanical position indicator, and standardized terminal connections.
Working Principle:
When current exceeds the trip threshold, the internal thermal-magnetic or electronic trip unit activates a mechanical latch, rapidly separating contacts to isolate the circuit.
Installation Requirements:
Must be securely mounted on a flat, stable panel surface. All power cable lugs must be torqued to the manufacturer’s exact specifications.
Usage Precautions:
Always verify the circuit is de-energized and locked out/tagged out before servicing. Never exceed the rated voltage or current capacity.
