The Schneider iNS 3P 500A is a 3-pole molded case circuit breaker (MCCB) from the iNS series, designed for high-performance protection in three-phase electrical systems.
Specifications:
Type: Molded Case Circuit Breaker (MCCB)
Number of Poles: 3P (3 poles) – Suitable for three-phase systems
Current Rating: 500A
Rated Voltage: Typically 415V (for three-phase systems)
Rated Frequency: 50/60 Hz
Tripping Characteristics:
Thermal Protection: Provides overload protection, disconnecting the circuit when sustained overcurrent conditions are detected to prevent overheating of wiring and equipment.
Magnetic Protection: Provides instantaneous disconnection during short circuits, protecting against high fault currents.
Adjustable Settings: Both thermal and magnetic protection settings are adjustable, offering flexibility to meet the specific needs of different applications.
Breaking Capacity: 50 kA at 415V (maximum fault current the breaker can safely interrupt)
Protection Features:
Overload Protection: Safeguards the circuit from sustained overcurrent, preventing overheating and damage to equipment and wiring.
Short-Circuit Protection: Provides instantaneous disconnection during short-circuit events, protecting against high fault currents that can cause severe damage to the system.
Manual Reset: The breaker can be manually reset once the fault is cleared, restoring normal operation to the system.
Compliance: Complies with IEC 60947-2, ensuring it meets international standards for low-voltage circuit protection.
