The Schneider EZD 3P 100E 40A is a 3-pole molded case circuit breaker (MCCB) from the EZD series by Schneider Electric, designed for reliable protection of electrical circuits in industrial and commercial environments.
Specifications:
Type: Molded Case Circuit Breaker (MCCB)
Number of Poles: 3P (3 poles)
Current Rating: 40A
Frame Size: 100E (indicates frame size and breaking capacity)
Rated Voltage: 415V (commonly used for industrial power systems)
Breaking Capacity: 25 kA at 415V (able to interrupt fault currents up to 25 kA)
Tripping Characteristics:
Thermal Protection: Overload protection (trips when the current exceeds the rated value for a specified time).
Magnetic Protection: Short circuit protection (provides rapid disconnection in case of short-circuit fault).
Adjustable Protection: Both thermal and magnetic protection are adjustable, allowing the breaker to be fine-tuned to the specific needs of the application.
Protection Functions: Overload protection, short circuit protection, and fault protection (earth leakage protection can be added separately).
Key Features:
High Breaking Capacity: With a breaking capacity of 25 kA, the EZD 3P 100E 40A is capable of handling high fault currents, making it suitable for robust industrial applications.
Adjustable Thermal and Magnetic Settings: Provides flexibility in adjusting the protection settings to match specific load requirements, which is important for diverse and dynamic electrical systems.
Compact Design: Despite its high current rating, the EZD series is designed to save space and is ideal for installation in crowded electrical panels.
Reliability and Durability: Built to withstand harsh environmental conditions, ensuring long-lasting protection for critical electrical systems.
Modular and Versatile: The breaker can be equipped with various accessories such as auxiliary contacts, shunt trips, and motor operators for increased functionality.
Applications:
Industrial Power Systems: Protection of circuits in factories, workshops, and manufacturing plants.
Commercial Buildings: Suitable for electrical distribution in large commercial complexes, offices, and retail spaces.
Power Distribution Panels: Can be used in distribution boards to safeguard electrical circuits.
Motor and Transformer Protection: Protects circuits that power large motors, transformers, and heavy electrical equipment.
Substations and Switchgear: Provides protection in electrical switchgear and substations, ensuring system safety.
