The Schneider Electric PLA34120, an MCCB within the PowerPact series, is engineered for circuit integrity and safety. It operates effectively at a voltage rating of 480 VAC, making it suitable for various industrial applications. This unit has a current rating of 1200 A, offering a continuous current of 80% of its rating.
The design includes a P Frame structure with three poles to support three-phase wiring configurations (ABC). A push-to-trip button allows for quick manual tripping when necessary, enhancing user interaction. The electronic trip unit, referred to as ET 1.0I, provides accurate protection against overloads and short circuits. This model embraces a thermal magnetic trip type, combining thermal protection for prolonged overloads with magnetic protection for short circuit occurrences.
For connectivity, the PLA34120 uses I-Line termination on the line side and lugs for load side attachment, ensuring a reliable electrical connection. It is adaptable for installations using an I-Line plug-in mounting style, further simplifying installation in panel setups. The breaking capacity stands at 100 kA at a voltage of 480V, with a higher interrupt rating of 125 kA at 240V, reflecting its capability to handle fault currents during operation. Overall, this molded case circuit breaker is an indispensable component for modern electrical systems, delivering exceptional protection in critical applications.
