LV429006

The Schneider Electric LV429006 is classified as a basic frame circuit breaker, providing essential protection and control in electrical circuits. It is configured with three poles, making it suitable for a variety of industrial applications. Rated for a nominal current of 100 A when operating at 40 °C, it can handle voltages up to 690 V AC across 50/60 Hertz supply frequencies. The unit demonstrates a robust insulation voltage capacity of 800 V AC, ensuring safe operation in potentially high-voltage environments.

In terms of performance, it features an impulse withstand rating of 8 kV, complying with the IEC 60947-2 standard. The breaker can manage a rated breaking capacity (Icu) of 50 kA at 415 V AC and a capacity of 10 kA when evaluated at 690 V. Furthermore, it has a service breaking capacity (Ics) of 50 kA at the same 415 V AC, providing reliability under fault conditions.

The LV429006 includes safety isolation capabilities, a crucial factor for maintenance and fault isolation. It has an extensive mechanical life rating of 50,000 operations, ensuring long-term reliability, complemented by its electrical endurance rated for 10,000 cycles at full load, with a potential extension to 50,000 cycles when operating at half the rated current (440 V AC).

In terms of installation, the circuit breaker adopts a fixed mounting style onto a backplate with front terminals, making it suitable for various enclosure sizes. With dimensions of 105 mm in width, 161 mm in height, and 86 mm in depth, the compact design allows for efficient use of space within panels. Compliance with an ingress protection rating of IP40 and an impact resistance level of IK07 further signifies its suitability for industrial environments, protecting it against dust and mechanical impacts.
