The Schneider LS8V22440G is a Miniature Circuit Breaker (MCB) designed for overcurrent protection in electrical circuits. It is part of the LS8 series, which is widely used for residential, commercial, and industrial applications.
Parameters:
Rated Current (In): 40A
Poles: 2P (2-pole design, ideal for single-phase circuits or small multi-phase applications)
Tripping Curve: C Curve (provides protection for circuits with moderate inrush currents, such as lighting circuits, heating systems, and small motors)
Rated Voltage (Un): 230/400V AC (for standard residential and commercial electrical systems)
Rated Frequency: 50/60Hz
Breaking Capacity (Icn): 10kA (maximum fault current the MCB can handle without damage)
Insulation Resistance: ≥ 100MΩ (at 500V DC)
Overload Protection: Yes, trips when the current exceeds the rated value for an extended period.
Short Circuit Protection: Yes, provides immediate disconnection in case of short circuits.
Ambient Temperature Range: -25°C to +60°C
Mechanical Durability: 20,000 operations
Electrical Durability: 4,000 operations (under rated current and short-circuit conditions)
