The 140U-J3X3 is classified as a molded case circuit breaker within the Allen Bradley 140U MCB series, specifically designed for rigorous industrial environments. This device is built on a J frame size and supports a continuous current rating of 250 A, ensuring reliable protection against overloads and short circuits. Configured for three-phase systems, it operates effectively at a rated voltage of 480 VAC.
The device can accommodate input frequencies ranging from a minimum of 50 Hz to a maximum of 60 Hz, making it versatile for various applications. In terms of performance, the interrupting ratings are robust; the breaker can handle up to 35 kA at 480V AC and an impressive 65 kA at 240V AC, which highlights its ability to disconnect during fault conditions.
For operational safety, the trip unit utilizes a thermal-magnetic design, providing dual protection against overcurrents. The 140U-J3X3 employs natural convection as its cooling method, which efficiently dissipates heat generated during operation. This characteristic ensures optimal performance in a variety of installation environments.
