140G-G2C3-C60

The 140G-G2C3-C60 circuit breaker is a global molded case circuit breaker from the 140 series manufactured and designed by Allen-Bradley. This circuit breaker is used as protective equipment in different applications. It also can be used in whole machine systems, as a control panel switch, and to protect conduits and specific equipment. When choosing a circuit breaker, it is recommended to check its specifications in order to take advantage of all its benefits and to ensure safe and secure operations. Circuit breakers like the Allen-Bradley 140G-G2C3-C60 global molded case circuit breaker are made of a closed circuit that opens and closes automatically. This action depends on the detection of a current. This specific breaker features an interrupting capacity of 25 kiloamps and a current range of 60 Amps.

The mechanism employed for the detection of the current is a fixed thermal and magnetic mechanism, both of which work through the use of metal bars that receive heat directly from current and magnets.  As mentioned before, the Allen-Bradley 140G-G2C3-C60 global molded case circuit breaker employs temperature variation detection as one of its detection mechanisms, and this makes it sensitive to extreme temperatures. If the breaker is installed in a location with a temperature above 50 degrees Celsius, it might lose efficiency. Likewise, when it is installed in a location with a temperature below 0 degrees Celsius, ice formations may be found around the enclosure of the breaker which may impede proper detection. The Allen-Bradley 140G-G2C3-C60 global molded case circuit breaker comes with 3 poles that perform a tripping action once a fault condition has been detected.
