PGL36100

The Schneider Electric PGL36100 circuit breaker is engineered for efficiency in electrical distribution systems. This unit is rated at 1000 A and features three poles, making it suitable for three-phase systems. The operational voltage is rated at 600 V AC, which is ideal for most industrial applications. It accommodates network frequencies up to 50/60 Hz, ensuring versatility across installations.

The PGL36100 provides significant safety with its rated service breaking capacity of 25 kA/20 kA, which indicates its ability to interrupt fault currents effectively. The rated impulse withstand voltage is 8 kV, adding another layer of protection for connected equipment. This circuit breaker employs electronic trip unit technology, enhancing the reliability of the trip mechanism.

As per specifications, it maintains a continuous current rating of 80%, allowing sustained operation under load. Connections are made via lugs for both line and load, ensuring secure and effective electrical contact. The tightening torque for these connections is set at 50 Nm, providing the strength necessary to withstand operational stresses.

Additionally, the power wire requires a stripping length of 30 mm for proper installation. Weighing in at 14.5 kg, the PGL36100 is a sturdy option for high-capacity needs. With a protection classification of IP40, it offers a degree of insulation from solid foreign bodies but is not dust-tight, making it suitable for many indoor applications where full environmental protection is not critical.
